Business school alumnus Tomi Antoljak wants to do for online relationships what NBC's The Voice did for singing competitions.

People using his new mobile app, Hangoo, talk first — and then only get to see each other if there's a match.

"My belief really is that voice is the more authentic way to communicate," said Antoljak, who in 2019 earned a B.S. in business with a concentration in financial technology from NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management. He was also a member of Albert Dorman Honors College.

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.

Martin Tuchman School of Management recently added Valentin Guerin, an Avanade Inc. director and client lead, to its Board of Advisors.

Avanade, a global consulting firm specializing in Microsoft software and services, began funding and mentoring NJIT students in 2015.

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.”

NJIT Assistant Professor Steve Taylor, of Millburn, is dissatisfied with how insurance companies deal with natural disasters and is preparing to offer an alternative.

Taylor witnessed extreme flooding from Hurricane Ida early this month in Millburn, where he resides. He also saw that many of his neighbors and local small business owners had their claims denied, despite being loyal customers of their insurance companies, as they lacked flood policies. Some had been advised by insurance agents that it wasn't a flood zone, based on data and maps that became obsolete decades ago.

Students at NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management are getting a rare opportunity to become trained in medical records software from Epic Systems Corp., the Apple of its field, which experts say is a sure path to a stable and high-paying job in healthcare technology.
