New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) announced today the NJII AI Lab, focused on solving the adoption challenges for today’s business leader. This program supports the assessment, identification, design and implementation of AI solutions to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) researchers harness artificial intelligence for unprecedented insights into conditions in the Sun’s lower atmosphere driving some of the solar system’s most powerful explosions, capable of disrupting critical infrastructure on Earth.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is launching a new, $10+ million initiative that will significantly advance the university’s strength in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and position NJIT to become a leader in both AI research and application in higher education. This augments already significant existing academic and research activity in AI and related programs. In 2023 alone, NJIT research related to AI totaled nearly $60 million.

Machine vision sensors could work faster and more efficiently if they were designed like biological eyes, according to Associate Professor Dong-Kyun Ko, at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department.

To help career-driven professionals navigate and succeed in today's rapidly evolving landscape, the Learning and Development Initiative (LDI), a pioneering collaboration between New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII), today announced its launch of new online programs in partnership with Ziplines Education, an industry-leading education company.

An international collaboration seeks to innovate the future of how a mechanical man’s best friend interacts with its owner, using a combination of AI and edge computing called edge intelligence.

The project is sponsored through a one-year seed grant from the Institute for Future Technologies (IFT), a partnership between New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU). 

People keep finding novel uses for generative artificial intelligence, the latest being that it can learn to design specialized hardware to make itself work faster.

Generative AI applications such as large language models became mainstream when ChatGPT went viral in 2022, but they require copious, complicated hardware underneath their user-friendly skins, especially when asked to act on more than just interactive text.

As interim dean of NJIT’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design, Gabrielle Esperdy found ways to apply design thinking to the challenges of leading an academic college of more than 1,000 students.

Now, as she starts her first month as dean, she realizes that her background prepared her well for administration. Also, the support of President Teik C. Lim and Provost John Pelesko spurred her to be an active interim dean and ultimately apply for the job.

Materium Technologies, a startup company with deep NJIT roots, is bringing data science innovations into the slowly evolving field of solar energy panels.

Startups are always a gamble, but the Materium team has a good hand, with two pair of Highlanders — recent alumni Sheldon Fereira (M.S. ‘23) and Scott Daniel (M.S. ‘24), advised by Professor Nuggehalli Ravindra and Adjunct Instructor Michael Jaffe. Their collective scientific expertise spans the worlds of artificial intelligence, applied physics, biomedical engineering, and semiconductors.

A team of researchers have demonstrated a new method that leverages AI and computer simulations to train robotic exoskeletons that can help users save energy while walking, running, and climbing stairs. Described in a study published in Nature, the novel method rapidly develops exoskeleton controllers to assist locomotion without relying on lengthy human-involved experiments.

Moreover, the method can apply to a wide variety of assistive devices beyond the hip exoskeleton demonstrated in this research.
