NJIT Computing Researchers Fix Critical Mistakes in Medical Mobile Apps

Potentially deadly mathematical errors are prevalent among mobile applications used in clinical and emergency room settings, but a team of researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology's Ying Wu College of Computing has found provable solutions that may save lives.

Two Research Papers on Mitigating Potential Security Flaws in LLMs Presented at ACM CCS 2024

Ph.D. candidates Nhi N Nguyen, Mahmoud Nazzal and Khiem Ton recently presented two papers at the 31st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2024) that could aid future breakthroughs in improving the trustworthiness of Large Language Models (LLMs) when generating code. The research has the potential to be a game changer in the use of generative AI for many sectors of industry and academia, especially software development.

NJIT Hacking Season '24 Wins with Themes of Steampunk and 1970s Culture

Coders, more than most people, spend hours upon hours clacking away at their keyboards, so they’re prime candidates for an invention that helps improve your posture — and so TheBackPak won this year’s edition of HackNJIT, earning $1,500 for its student developers.

Women of Ying Wu College of Computing Study Bias in AI at Annual Grace Hopper Conference

Members of NJIT’s undergraduate and graduate Women in Computing Society groups attending the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) 2024 in Philadelphia took full advantage of opportunities for professional development, networking and industry insights that support their growth in technology fields. 

NJIT Research Team Innovates in Princeton FlyWire Codex Challenge

An NJIT computational research team made impressive strides at the Princeton FlyWire Codex Data Challenge. Teams were tasked to solve a highly complex problem: analyzing the intricate network of neurons in the brain of a Drosophila melanogaster — commonly known as the fruit fly. Teams had to treat this neural network as a massive, interconnected graph and work to determine the best possible ordering of neurons. The goal was to maximize the efficiency of the brain's neural pathways, creating an optimal flow of information within this tiny but surprisingly complex system.
