Mohammad Arif Hossain is a Ph.D. candidate at the Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). He is currently working under the supervision of Distinguished Professor, Dr. Nirwan Ansari. His research areas include Cloud and Edge Computing, Distributed Machine Learning, Future Generation Wireless Networks, etc. Mr. Hossain has published several research articles in Q1 journals such as IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, Sensors, etc., and conferences. He also contributed to several IEEE Standardizations (IEEE...

Andressa Marangon, a senior electrical and computer engineering major at New Jersey Institute of Technology, won a $1,000 scholarship from the IEEE Electron Devices Society for her role in improving the brightness and power consumption of blue LEDs that technologically lag behind their red and green cousins. That might not affect your iPhone or TV anytime soon, she said, but it's important for applications such as healthcare products and industrial machinery. Red, green and blue lights are required to make all other colors, but blue LEDs tend to leak electrons because they have a...

NJIT Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Joerg Kliewer is looking to help preserve privacy by busting conventional wisdom about the future of computer security, which states that today's data protection measures, especially in Internet-of-things devices, stand absolutely no chance against the hacking power that will soon be wielded by the new era of quantum computers. Quantum computers remain years away from being in the mainstream, with their promise that data can be represented by predicting the state of electrons, rather than computing by the traditional approach of flipping...

For a pioneering invention that enables doctors to use light to look beneath the outer layer of the skin to detect diseases such as early-stage skin cancers, NJIT’s Atam Dhawan was tapped this year to receive one of IEEE’s preeminent honors, the Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS) William J. Morlock Award. Established in 1960, the Morlock Award is given every two years to an inventor of original electronics techniques and concepts used to solve biomedical problems. However, Dhawan, a distinguished professor of electrical engineering and senior vice provost for research, is the...
