An NJIT computer scientist studied COVID vaccine data from Minnesota to design equitable methods of distributing vital resources during any widespread emergency.

The resulting algorithm showed that giving everyone equal access to vital resources isn't necessarily the best approach, depending on the methods and desires of emergency authorities, explained Pan Xu, assistant professor in Ying Wu College of Computing.

Imagine designing an inexpensive, flat and strong structure that bends perfectly into Spaceship Earth from Disney's EPCOT theme park.

NJIT's Przemyslaw Musialski, associate professor of computer science, believes his latest research is a step in the right direction, sitting at the intersection of architecture, computing and geometry.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has reaffirmed its status among the nation’s most elite and productive research institutions by once again achieving an R1 status — the highest designation — by the Carnegie Classification.

Three of NJIT's online graduate programs placed among the top 100 in this year's U.S. News & World Report rankings of American universities, and in the top three for New Jersey institutions.

The ACM has announced NJIT Distinguished Professor David Bader in its new class of Fellows.

Bader received the honor along with 70 peers in the computing industry, representing just 1% of Association for Computing Machinery membership.

"The contributions of the 2021 Fellows run the gamut of the computing field — including cloud database systems, deep learning acceleration, high performance computing, robotics, and theoretical computer science," ACM President Gabriele Kotsis stated.

Salam Daher, assistant professor of informatics, this week received the Society for Simulation in Healthcare's Technology Innovator of the Year award in recognition of four projects addressing patient simulation.

Over the last few years, Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) has been involved in a number of commercial software development projects, typically outsourced from corporations. By employing the skills of its international students, many of whom have prior experience in software development, the College enhances the student experience with real-world opportunities for advancement, innovation and societal change.

Aiming to propel discoveries made in university labs into everyday life, the new I-Corps Northeast Hub launched this week following its announcement last summer, as applications are now open for its first researcher training program.

The 4-week program, in which researchers confront the challenges of creating successful startups and entrepreneurial ventures based on scientific and technological discoveries, kicks off Feb. 28 and runs through March 23 online.

Logan Reyes was named by his parents after James “Logan” Howlett, otherwise known by his codename Wolverine. Perhaps Marvel’s superhero is an apt comparison for a young man who states that he “wakes up every day striving to make an impact.” 

The Board of Trustees of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Teik C.
