Research on how large language models portray aging, conducted entirely by undergraduate students in the Ying Wu College of Computing, was published and accepted to ACM ASSETS, a top venue for computing and accessibility, with recent alumna Sherwin Dewan ’25 (Human-Computer Interaction) as lead author. She credits the opportunity to explore the boundaries beyond her intended major while at NJIT for developing the interest in data analytics that ultimately led to her becoming a first-time published principal investigator. 

Technology for the greater good of society. That is a principal tenet of the NJIT mission, and one that is carried forward by the university’s Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) and its many initiatives to increase education and opportunity for K-12 students in the city of Newark.
