A dose of artificial intelligence is helping New Jersey Institute of Technology researchers make sense of how crowds and the individuals within them move around, leading to insights with applications in fields such as emergency management, pedestrian traffic planning, robotics, special effects and even videogames.

Tomer Weiss, assistant professor of Informatics in NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing, leads the research with graduate students to see if AI can complement their understanding of the movement patterns in useful ways.

A live Bloomberg Radio broadcast from NJIT put the university’s environmental research into a much wider public conversation, as hosts Scarlet Fu and Paul Sweeney brought their weekday “Bloomberg Intelligence” program to campus and mixed NJIT faculty and researchers into the show’s regular coverage.

NJIT’s Dana Knox Research Showcase filled the Bloom Wellness and Events Center with student research spanning science, engineering, computing, management and the humanities. With poster presentations, two-minute elevator speeches and Board Day luncheon attendees moving through the event, the showcase offered a cross-disciplinary snapshot of research activity across the university.

Engineering has been called "the art of the possible," so it's no wonder that engineers of all types are investigating the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence.

If you wanted to see how AI and research across the humanities and sciences are reshaping each other in real time, NJIT’s Jordan Hu College of Science and Liberal Arts (HCSLA) offered a front-row seat during the university’s first AI Exploration Day.

The all-day AI takeover of campus highlighted the college’s diverse faculty and student research — covering everything from what the future holds for ethical AI design and robotics, to the latest AI-assisted efforts to alert Earth of eruptions on the Sun.

Faculty and student research from NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing abounded at Artificial Intelligence Exploration Day, with faculty and dozens of students presenting their timely work.

A trend was the emphasis on unique ways in which AI works — what we collectively understand, what we don’t and what remains mysterious.

Senjuti Basu Roy, associate professor of computer science, along with her doctoral student Subhodeep Ghosh discussed two approaches to mitigating bias in large language models.

The world of commerce was thoroughly represented at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s inaugural Artificial Intelligence Exploration Day, where several faculty and students presented their AI-enabled research covering topics from entrepreneurship to human-machine collaboration to real estate titling.

Presenters represented Martin Tuchman School of Management, the university’s traditionally tech-focused business school that evolved from coursework and student groups at NJIT predecessor Newark College of Engineering as early as the 1920s.

An NJIT student is lead author of a new study that could help physicians standardize methods for diagnosing and treating squamous cell carcinoma of the colon.

In an analysis of nearly three decades of solar acoustic data, NJIT physicists report evidence that the solar dynamo — the magnetic engine powering the Sun’s 11-year cycles and eruptive events — operates nearly 200,000 kilometers beneath the Sun’s surface.

Every eleven years, the Sun’s magnetic field flips. Sunspots — dark, cooler regions on the Sun’s surface that mark intense magnetic activity and often trigger solar eruptions —appear at mid-latitudes and migrate toward the star’s equator in a butterfly-shape pattern before fading as the cycle resets.

Scientists have captured the first-ever measurements of needlelike microscopic metal structures as they grow in lithium-ion batteries.
