NJIT’s Department of Data Science in the Ying Wu College of Computing is launching two new graduate programs in artificial intelligence during the 2023 academic year, in support of the increasing demand for qualified AI engineers and analysts to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making in the digital world of the future.

The new programs will address the dramatic growth and proliferation of AI technologies into the mainstream, such as the recent debut of the ChatGPT application.

New kinds of unconventional computer hardware, along with new ways of considering software responsibility, are both necessary if the next wave of data science will do anything more useful for the world than increase corporate profits.

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.

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.

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.

Ordinary people could soon have greater ability to analyze massive amounts of information, based on new algorithms and software tools being designed at NJIT, intended to simplify access to a programming interface from data scientists at the Department of Defense.

TTI/Vanguard, a prestigious organization of technology industry executives who meet a few times each year to study and debate emerging innovations, chose to virtually visit New Jersey Institute of Technology this week for their latest intellectual retreat.

The group's members, through exposure to wide swaths of cutting-edge technology research, advise their clients and employers about what directions to follow for commercialization and investment opportunities.

About two dozen experts on data science are giving seminars to the NJIT community this semester and next, with many of them excited to participate virtually from far away with the students and faculty here in New Jersey .

Continuing its mission to lead in computing technologies, NJIT announced today that it will establish a new Institute for Data Science, focusing on cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and development in all areas pertinent to digital data. The institute will bring existing research centers in big data, medical informatics and cybersecurity together with new research centers in data analytics and artificial intelligence, cutting across all NJIT colleges and schools, and conduct both basic and applied research.
