New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to Deliver 2019 Commencement Address and Receive Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters

Qiang Tang is one of the researchers around the globe receiving this highly competitive award: this year Google received 910 proposals covering 40 countries and more than 320 universities. Tang was recognized for his work in cliptography, an advanced form of cryptography, which preserves the security of cryptographic tools even if they encounter malicious software or hardware implementations containing backdoors.  

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is the newest partner in DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science. DIMACS is a research-oriented consortium of Princeton University, Rutgers University, AT&T Labs – Research, NEC Laboratories America, Nokia Bell Labs and Perspecta Labs.

Affiliate members, in addition to NJIT, include Avaya Labs, Columbia University, Georgia Institute of Technology, IBM Research, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Stevens Institute of Technology.

Stop by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) office on any given afternoon and you might find students getting help on a project for their CS 100 class, or students discussing the value of ethical hacking. Or you may catch a group of ACM members playing their unofficial video game —Super Smash Bros. Melee.

NJIT’s chapter of the ACM has been around for more than a decade and has more than 70 active members.

NJIT has again earned a spot on The Princeton Review’s top 50 undergraduate schools for game design coming in at No. 44 in the 2019 rankings.

The Murray Center for Women in Technology at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) will hold its fifth annual Women Designing the Future conference — “Game Changers! Technological Innovations That Will Transform Our Lives”— Friday, March 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the university’s Campus Center Ballrooms A and B.

Nearly 100 budding game designers pulled all-nighters at NJIT for the Eleventh Annual Global Game Jam (GGJ) in what has become a much anticipated event for both design and information technology students.

Three professors joined the Department of Informatics at the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) this Fall.

Assistant Professor Aritra Dasgupta

At NJIT, Craig Gotsman is best known as dean of Ying Wu College of Computing. Within the scientific community, he is better known as the inventor of a number of cutting-edge software technologies for manipulating 3D geometric data, enabling their use in a variety of applications. Many of these technologies have been patented and commercialized, some through startup companies, which Gotsman founded — spinoffs of his academic research. In recognition of these achievements, Gotsman has been named a Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Inventors (NAI) for 2018.

Housed within the School of Art + Design and Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC), NJIT’s game development program blends digital design and information technology curriculums to offer students access to faculty and resources that cross disciplinary boundaries and cultivate innovation and creativity.
