Assistant Professor Zhihao "Zephyr" Yao of the Department of Computer Science at NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing has been named among IEEE Computing’s Top Early Career Professionals. This prestigious recognition is awarded to individuals worldwide who have demonstrated exceptional early-career achievements and are actively shaping the future of technology in the fields of artificial intelligence, software engineering and hardware.

A competition to compare the brains of male vs. female fruit flies led New Jersey Institute of Technology researchers and two high school students to a second-place finish in the latest edition of the FlyWire Data Challenge, but more importantly the team learned new lessons about using artificial intelligence for setting up research with supercomputers.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is rebuilding its second oldest residence hall to meet a burgeoning demand for housing at the growing public university.

The new Oak Hall on Summit Street in Newark will contain 453 beds in 154 units — more than double the current totals. The units will take the form of apartments for either two or four students, complete with kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms. There will also be single units for resident assistants.

A famous movie quote included the phrase, “…what I do have are a very particular set of skills.” The same can be said by Associate Professor Andrew Sohn in Ying Wu College of Computing’s (YWCC) department of computer science, whose course, CS 485: Intro to GPU Cluster Programming, may well be – technically - a class like no other in the U.S. due to his work with NASA, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as well as his venture capital-backed startup company in Silicon Valley.

People with mild dementia might live more independently if assistive technology could evolve in parallel with their progressing conditions, according to new research from Alisha Pradhan, assistant professor of informatics at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has taken a significant step in its commitment to advancing artificial intelligence by establishing the Grace Hopper AI Research Institute (GHRI). The institute is a key component of NJIT's $10 million AI Initiative aimed at enhancing the university's capabilities in AI research and applications.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has once again earned the prestigious R1 designation from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, reaffirming its standing as a top-tier doctoral university with very high research activity. This continued recognition reflects NJIT’s commitment to cutting-edge research, innovation and the advancement of knowledge.

A new 360-degree perspective on wound care has already attracted attention from the health care industry, and Assistant Professor Salam Daher and Dahlia Musa Ph.D. ’25 from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing have a goal to further develop a 3D graphics simulation tool to patent it for commercial use. 

Three NJIT undergraduates — two from the Hillier College of Architecture and Design and one from the Ying Wu College of Computing — won the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship to study abroad. 

The Online Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program offered by NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing has been ranked No. 21 in the nation by MastersInAI.org. The program earned recognition for its strong performance in key areas such as affordability, research output and graduate outcomes.
