Seeing her father struggle through rehabilitation exercises after a stroke made Marina Samuel '25 think, why can’t therapy be more personalized, effective and efficient for the patient?

So, with a central focus on patients, she pursued a bachelor’s in biomedical engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology and after graduation in May, will seek a Ph.D. in the same discipline at NJIT. Her research as an undergraduate fueled this pursuit.

We all know how bad smoking is for you, but what about vaping?

A new study at New Jersey Institute of technology (NJIT) led by forensic anthropologist and biochemist Sara Zapico is exploring the potential long-term health risks of e-cigarettes and how they might manifest in young adults at the genetic level, which up until now isn't fully understood.

As most students were buried in final exams last December, Iniobong Ofonime took an extra assignment outside her usual work as an engineering student — rather than applying mathematics to solve problems, she decided to profile an inspirational mathematician.

Her efforts have added up to a first-place finish among undergraduates in the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) national essay competition, announced fittingly on International Women's Day.

The architecture, engineering and construction industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by technological advancements reshaping how projects are designed, coordinated and executed. Three alumnae of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design — Gayatri Desai ’14, Veronica Quintero ’07 and Alexandra Pollock ’03 — are leading this evolution. 

Haley Patel, an undergraduate computer science student in the Ying Wu College of Computing, recently represented NJIT at Stanford University's TreeHacks 2025, one of the most competitive hackathons globally. Sponsored by tech giants like NVIDIA, Google and OpenAI, TreeHacks received more than 12,000 applications, and selected only 1,000 participants. 

NJIT’s forensics program made an impression at the 77th Annual American Academy of Forensic Sciences’ Conference in Baltimore’s Convention Center, unveiling new research and innovations that tackled this year’s conference theme, “Technology: A Tool for Transformation or Tyranny?”

As a sophomore at New Jersey Institute of Technology, Krishi Shah has already accomplished a lot.

Last summer, the computer science major helped engineer software as an intern at PULLATracker while conducting research at the NJIT’s Undergraduate Research and Innovation Program. She also began an apprenticeship at Cornell Tech that’s focused on artificial intelligence.

Coders, more than most people, spend hours upon hours clacking away at their keyboards, so they’re prime candidates for an invention that helps improve your posture — and so TheBackPak won this year’s edition of HackNJIT, earning $1,500 for its student developers.

Members of NJIT’s undergraduate and graduate Women in Computing Society groups attending the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) 2024 in Philadelphia took full advantage of opportunities for professional development, networking and industry insights that support their growth in technology fields. 

Forensic science students at New Jersey institute of Technology are giving criminal investigators a step up on solving cases, and they're doing it by enlisting the campus community's help through an enticing offer — “lend your soles” for free pizza.
