More than 3,300 students and alumni filled the Joel & Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center and Naimoli Tennis Center on Sept. 17 for NJIT’s Fall 2025 Career Fair, one of the largest STEM-focused career fairs in the region.

Some might be surprised to learn that a startup company digitizes scents, but making scents made sense to Sriya Chinthalapudi, who in high school became enthralled by a TED talk about detecting diseases from a person’s odor and spent many hours learning more on her own.

She shared that memory in spring 2024 while interviewing for a summer internship at Google-funded Osmo Labs, ahead of her senior year as a computer science major at New Jersey Institute of Technology. After graduating in May 2025, she became a full-time software engineer there.

Vibha Venkataraman ’26 (Data Science) and Tina Thai ’26 (Computer Science), two students in NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) and both Albert Dorman Honors College scholars, will have added their respective first and second place wins during this year’s Bank of America (BOA) Codeathon to an already impressive list of achievements when they graduate in May.

Think twice about eliminating those pesky ants at your next family picnic. Their behavior may hold the key to reinventing how engineering materials, traffic control and multi-agent robots are made and utilized, thanks to research conducted by recent graduate Matthew Loges ’25 and Assistant Professor Tomer Weiss from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing.

Computer Science education has gone through boom-and-bust cycles before.

The best-known ones happened in the mid-1980s after the PC boom and in the early-2000s after the dot-com boom. There are reasons to believe that computing in general will recover from the current bust, but there might be a shift away from basic computer science to data science and artificial intelligence (two closely related fields).

NJIT is pioneering a safer, more secure campus infrastructure through a partnership with Splunk, a leader in enterprise security, and TekStream Solutions, experts in digital transformation. Together, they are strengthening vital internal campus systems and creating a model for other colleges and universities — all while students are provided with real-world, experiential learning.

A cornerstone of NJIT’s annual Homecoming Weekend, the Alumni Achievement Awards recognize alumni whose professional and personal achievements stand as a testament to the values instilled at the university.
