A new project led by New Jersey Institute of Technology researchers is underway to help New Jersey’s lower-income homeowners take advantage of the state’s clean energy programs.

The initiative arrives in support of the state’s recent commitments to the Clean Energy Act outlined in the New Jersey Energy Master Plan: Pathway to 2050, which includes “developing a community solar program that allows more state residents to benefit from solar energy, especially low- and moderate-income (LMI) families.” 

A New Jersey Institute of Technology forensic team’s crime scene reconstruction of a 1994 shooting in Queens, N.Y. has helped clear the names of two wrongfully convicted men who spent a combined 37 years in prison for murder.

Since graduating from NJIT in 2012 with a B.S. in chemistry, Tessy Ritchie has found success as a chemist, recently taking a leading role in shaping the future of public health and booming medical technology industry expected to reach nearly $580 billion by the end of 2023.

NJIT Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Omowunmi Sadik has earned the exclusive distinction of being named Fellow by one of the largest scientific organizations globally, the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Sadik's “outstanding contributions to science, the profession, and ACS” over her 30-year career earned her selection into ACS's 2023 class of 42 fellows, which was recently recognized at the Society’s Fellow Ceremony in San Francisco.

A select group of local high school seniors have become the first graduates of NJIT’s Forensic Science Initiative (FSI) after successfully completing an intensive STEM training program this year.

Climbing temperatures in the Arctic tundra are transforming inorganic mercury deposited by power plants and other industrial polluters, some of it inert for decades, into a neurotoxin that is accumulating in the region’s lake sediments, wetland ponds, soils and food chains.

The soot permeating the air in New Jersey and New York this month — courtesy of massive wildfires in Canada — is exactly what a New Jersey Institute of Technology professor is studying to determine its impact on climate change.

Like any talented forensic science student would, Kristen Mogerman ’23 has been using her sharp analytical skills to unlock one opportunity after the next — from an internship with the U.S. Department of Justice assisting its regional violent crime squad, to her post-graduation destination as a credit and risk analyst with Fiserv.

Mogerman has wrapped up a unique internship experience during commencement week. When she wasn’t in NJIT classrooms and forensics labs her senior year, she’s been stationed with a Newark-based task force working on federal criminal cases.

Recently, several of NJIT’s star undergrad seniors were decorated at this month’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards for their diverse accomplishments across the STEM sciences.

NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA) celebrated at its annual springtime award ceremony this month, which brought an afternoon of recognition for the college’s star students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as a special appearance from Nobel Laureate M. Stanley Whittingham.
