NJIT's Xu is Developing a Timed-Release mRNA Vaccine with an Extended Shelf Life

Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Xiaoyang Xu, a chemical and materials engineer at NJIT who specializes in nanomedicines, has secured a $1 million award from the Gustavus and Louise Pfeiffer Research Foundation to develop the next generation of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. Xu’s immediate goal is to improve protections against COVID-19. He is designing a nano-sized delivery vehicle for gene-based medications that can be stored much longer and at higher temperatures than the current mRNA shots deployed against the virus, including by freeze-drying. “More durable vaccines would be especially useful in rural and...

Alumna Afrida Kabir to Study Advanced Energy Solutions at Aalto University

Monday, August 23, 2021
Society consumes too much energy. Industry takes an especially large slice of the energy pie, and Afrida Kabir, a process engineer and 2016 NJIT chemical engineering graduate, is heading to Finland to study technologies that would curb industry’s energy appetite. Kabir recently joined the Advanced Energy Solutions master’s program at Aalto University on a full-ride scholarship to study drying processes, methods, and designs to make drying more efficient and sustainable. “The drying process is nothing more than taking the liquid out of a product,” said Kabir. “What happens in the process...

NJIT Expert Trains Robots to Use Their Hands, Earns NSF CAREER Grant

Thursday, August 12, 2021
C-3PO walked upright and spoke six million languages, but never did much with his hands besides letting the wookie win at holochess. Such is the state of modern robotics and cyberintelligence, where a Boston Dynamics droid does backflips and Apple Siri maintains natural-language conversations, while precision manipulation of physical objects remains elusive, explained Cong Wang, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Wang's plan to fix this involves a two-fingered robot, crowdsourcing, artificial intelligence and a National...
