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.
The ACM has announced NJIT Distinguished Professor David Bader in its new class of Fellows.
Bader received the honor along with 70 peers in the computing industry, representing just 1% of Association for Computing Machinery membership.
"The contributions of the 2021 Fellows run the gamut of the computing field — including cloud database systems, deep learning acceleration, high performance computing, robotics, and theoretical computer science," ACM President Gabriele Kotsis stated.
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.
An NJIT business school professor is teaching graduate students how to apply data science to unique fields, starting with cutting-edge problems in nuclear physics.
Dantong Yu, associate professor of business data science, is co-principal investigator for a $250,000 grant derived from a federal $5.7 million project applying data science to understand what happens when particles collide at high velocity.
E-commerce sites, military planners and streaming media providers all want to analyze multiple sources of live data as quickly as possible, a holy grail of data science which is about to become possible through new software called StreamWare, from researchers at Harvard University, New Jersey Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California.
"What we're trying to do is reimagine data science," said David Bader, distinguished professor and director of NJIT's Institute for Data Science.
With students back in classrooms this fall, educators and superintendents across New Jersey were once again welcomed back to NJIT’s campus to network and discuss fresh ways they can enrich hands-on STEM learning in their schools at the university’s fifth annual STEM School Leadership Forum — “Bringing Cutting-Edge STEM into Your Classrooms.”
The IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS) has named David Bader as the recipient of the 2021 Sidney Fernbach Award. Bader is a distinguished professor and founder of the Department of Data Science, and inaugural Director of the Institute for Data Science, at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Members of NJIT's new Center for Artificial Intelligence Research will look to expand knowledge of the theory, data and applications of their field, which director Grace Wang said is quickly evolving from experimental to practical status.
New Jersey Institute of Technology’s next career fair will connect students with more than 165 employers offering some 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative educational experiences.
Building on existing academic and research strengths, NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing has created a new Department of Data Science where students will learn the deep underlying technologies driving this field and its broad spectrum of applications.
