Sitting just outside the Campus Center on a sunny, breezy Tuesday afternoon, Siri Uppuluri reflects on her upcoming graduation from NJIT.
On May 1, the annual springtime celebration of NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA) kicked off, marking a year of highlights throughout the arts and sciences at the college during the 2019 CSLA Awards Ceremony.
This week, nearly 50 of the year’s most promising NJIT student-researchers gathered to present their work to the campus community at the university’s annual year-end research competition — the 2019 Dana Knox Showcase “A Glimpse Into the Future.”
In 2012, CBS’s crime-fiction television drama, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” reached the zenith of primetime television ratings. That year, the show’s estimated 63 million viewers across five continents earned it the title of “most watched television show in the world” for the fifth time in the show’s history at the Monte Carlo Television Festival.
This month, NJIT’s forensic science program welcomed David Fisher — an expert criminalist previously with New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) — to its faculty ranks.
The announcement sees Fisher appointed as the university’s first-ever “Professor of Practice in Forensic Science” — a position expected to play a leading role in educating the program’s students in current lab techniques and crime scene investigation methods used by active forensic science professionals today.
A new research collaboration between New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Louisiana State University (LSU) and University of Florida is set to launch the first evolutionary study of the unique pelvic structure and walking mechanics of blind cavefish (Cryptotora thamicola) — the only living species of fish known capable of walking on land similarly to four-limbed mammal and amphibian vertebrates, or tetrapods.
Bats and dolphins emit sound waves to sense their surroundings; like a battery, electric fish generate electricity to help them detect motion while burrowed in their refuges; and humans use tiny movements of the eyes to perceive objects in their field of vision.
New Jersey Institute of Technology has been ranked among the best colleges for biology students in the U.S., according to College Factual’s recently released “2019 Best Biology Colleges” rankings.
The new rankings indicate that NJIT’s degree programs in biology place in the top 15 percent of all general biology programs offered in the country, improving the university’s national position 82 slots over the past year. The new rankings also recognize NJIT as having one of the top five biology programs in New Jersey.
In the 1990s, Jack Kevorkian controversially brought the issue of physician-assisted dying to the forefront of a conversation at the crossroads of medicine, technology, law and morality — known as bioethics.
