The energy usage of 75 billion Internet-connected devices could be reduced 1,000-fold if those devices could do more thinking for themselves rather than constantly asking cloud servers for help, computer engineering Assistant Professor Shaahin Angizi believes.

Artificial intelligence will be the application driving this need in such devices by the second half of the 2020s, not just in devices like Amazon Alexa but in everyday objects at home, work, your car and in industry.

NJIT student Akhyurna Swain has a plan to save $15 million per year in the maintenance and operational costs of New Jersey's offshore wind turbines.

Swain, studying for her Ph.D. in electrical engineering, determined that non-intrusive monitoring technology controlled by magnets can be paired with machine learning software to realize the impressive cost savings for an 1,100-megawatt project which will begin construction in 2024.

NJIT's electrical and computer engineering department hosted 65 girls representing 40 high schools in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania last week, teaching the students about opportunities in technical fields where females are historically overlooked.

Every pitcher believes he has enough gas for one more strike-out, but an invention from NJIT Associate Professor Tao Han might forever change that old stare-down between players and coaches on the mound.

A coach wearing a mixed-reality headset could receive real-time statistics and facial interpretation data to evaluate whether the pitcher is right to stand his ground, what he should change or whether it's time to call the bullpen, while also interfacing with a team of analysts and trainers who work remotely and see the same information.

If you can envision a future where robots need eyeglasses to accurately deliver packages and safely perform dangerous missions, then Craig Iaboni would be your local android optician.

Until then, Iaboni is pursuing an M.S. in computer science at NJIT by coding new kinds of neural networks and using cutting-edge architectures to help electronic beings better see the world around them.

Reflect for a moment on how you'd manage your terabyte-scale hard drive if the data were literally one million times bigger.

Then you'd be working with exabytes, which is the reality for supercomputer users at federal laboratories across the country, one of which is relying on Assistant Professor Qing Liu to mitigate their information storage problems by studying new methods of data reduction.

Eliza Michalopoulou, mathematics professor and chair of NJIT’s Department of Mathematical Sciences, has been named Distinguished Lecturer by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) — a premier professional organization dedicated to advancing engineering and technology in marine environments. 

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

Andressa Marangon, a senior electrical and computer engineering major at New Jersey Institute of Technology, won a $1,000 scholarship from the IEEE Electron Devices Society for her role in improving the brightness and power consumption of blue LEDs that technologically lag behind their red and green cousins.

That might not affect your iPhone or TV anytime soon, she said, but it's important for applications such as healthcare products and industrial machinery.

NJIT Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Joerg Kliewer is looking to help preserve privacy by busting conventional wisdom about the future of computer security, which states that today's data protection measures, especially in Internet-of-things devices, stand absolutely no chance against the hacking power that will soon be wielded by the new era of quantum computers.
