An NJIT computer scientist studied COVID vaccine data from Minnesota to design equitable methods of distributing vital resources during any widespread emergency.

The resulting algorithm showed that giving everyone equal access to vital resources isn't necessarily the best approach, depending on the methods and desires of emergency authorities, explained Pan Xu, assistant professor in Ying Wu College of Computing.

Capstone projects, done in collaboration with companies, are a requirement for every senior in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), but two teams of students have exceeded expectations with a pair of solutions that Bank of America (BofA) counts as more than class projects.  

Logan Reyes was named by his parents after James “Logan” Howlett, otherwise known by his codename Wolverine. Perhaps Marvel’s superhero is an apt comparison for a young man who states that he “wakes up every day striving to make an impact.” 

Guiling (Grace) Wang, professor and associate dean for research in Ying Wu College of Computing, was recently named an IEEE Fellow, one of the electronic technology industry's highest honors.

She is the first woman to earn the honor among several male recipients at NJIT and only the second current honoree in the computing college. Most recipients are based in Newark College of Engineering, given the IEEE's focus on electrical engineering.

"Why not both?" is a social media meme, but it's also the proposed answer to a problem for the designers of virtual reality systems, who generally must rely on wireless signals that are reliable but not as fast as needed.

A new course about the history of information systems will be offered by Ying Wu College of Computing this spring, where students will learn about everything from calculation methods of ancient and medieval times, through early visions of mechanical computer architecture in the Industrial Age, straight through to the pioneers of 20th-century solid-state electronics and digital networks.

Students who developed software for game animation, package delivery, lecture transcription and wildlife sightings were all winners at HackNJIT this month.

NJIT's Cybersecurity Research Center recently earned a National Center of Academic Excellence designation, recognizing the university's ability to train students in defending high-value computer networks.

Young adults who may leave college because of the expense may soon have a helping hand, as NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing is now offering 12 annual scholarships of $10,000 for each of the next three years to high-performing students in financial need.

New Jersey Institute of Technology has earned national recognition for how it serves students connected to the military, be they active members or veterans.
