Every complex scientific field needs an ontology, and soon the primary one that covers COVID-19 will be easier for medication and vaccination researchers to understand, using new interpretive methods and software developed by experts at NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing.

Highlanders won the top three prizes at November's HackNJIT competition, with software allowing friends to remotely jam together, video chat with speech translations and even detect pneumonia in chest X-rays.

The annual event was virtual this year due to COVID-19, which for a hackathon tends to mean fewer hardware hacks, as those require in-person work, and instead focused more on software in the form of mobile and web applications.

Responding to the surge in demand for technical skills in data science, NJIT plans to launch in fall 2021 a new Bachelor of Science in Data Science undergraduate degree, co-managed by the Ying Wu College of Computing Department of Computer Science and College of Science and Liberal Arts Department of Mathematical Sciences. 

The Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) at NJIT has published its 2020 Research Report, showcasing the diverse research activities conducted by Ying Wu faculty over the past year.

TTI/Vanguard, a prestigious organization of technology industry executives who meet a few times each year to study and debate emerging innovations, chose to virtually visit New Jersey Institute of Technology this week for their latest intellectual retreat.

The group's members, through exposure to wide swaths of cutting-edge technology research, advise their clients and employers about what directions to follow for commercialization and investment opportunities.

NJIT’s inaugural inductees into its new Colton Society represent an array of disciplines, including engineering, architecture, finance, education and technology. Each, however, shares something remarkable in common: lifetime contributions to the university that exceed half a million dollars.

Assistant Professor Cody Buntain, NJIT's expert on the science of understanding social media, is turning his trained eyes to the connections between online misinformation and public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aarati Srikumar, a junior computer science major from Edison and honors student at NJIT, made the best of her summer internship with networking giant Cisco Systems despite the pandemic changing her plans to experience Silicon Valley in person.

Cisco adjusted their program to be fully remote, giving Aarati and her fellow interns a unique and rewarding learning opportunity to work on the company's software updating processes.

GirlHacks went virtual this year, with extra-diverse participation and several healthcare-oriented projects, all due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event, which was hosted Oct. 10-11 by NJIT's Women in Computing Society, had almost 80 entrants spanning 28 projects from colleges and even high schools across the U.S. and beyond.

Albert Dorman Honors College welcomed more than 70 additional students this year as part of a new program called Dean's Scholars, designed to allow for a more robust honors education across campus.

The program admits scholars from the College of Science and Liberal Arts, Hillier College of Architecture and Design, Martin Tuchman School of Management, Newark College of Engineering and Ying Wu College of Computing each year who desire the rigor of an honors education within their academic discipline.
