Professional accolades started arriving early in the career of Matthew P. Adams, an associate professor of civil engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and co-director of the Materials and Structures Laboratory (MatSLab). In 2015, Adams was still working toward his Ph.D. when he was recognized by the American Concrete Institute (ACI), earning their Young Member Award for Professional Achievement for his work supporting young professionals in the concrete industry.
Greetings from New Jersey.
A state of political bosses who inspired HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Of eerie legends like the Jersey Devil and the 1916 Matawan shark attacks. Of shorelines, small towns and highways that became the backdrop for Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run.
Next fall, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) will become the place to study them all.
A new seminar series at the New Jersey Institute of Technology encourages students to consider sustainability-based solutions for civil infrastructure and environmental systems.
Why did the rotisserie chicken cross the aisle — and end up in your shopping cart? A theoretical model created by an NJIT researcher suggests that customers prefer finding the freshest items at the front of the displays.
New Jersey Institute of Technology is advancing its commitment to sustainability with the launch of a new Peer-to-Peer Sustainability Engagement Program led by the Office of Sustainability.
Supported by a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) grant titled “Decarbonizing New Jersey Higher Education Institutions by Enhancing Recycling Activities,” the initiative brings NJIT together with four other New Jersey public universities to strengthen sustainable behaviors and reduce waste across campus.
Wen Zhang, a professor at NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering, has been named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). The program honors academic and institutional inventors, and the induction recognizes Zhang’s work using nanomaterials to break down environmental pollutants, recover nutrients from wastewater and support sustainable agriculture.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has again been recognized as one of the nation’s most environmentally responsible universities, earning a Green Rating of 91 out of 99 in The Princeton Review’s Guide to Green Colleges: 2026 Edition. The annual guide honors institutions that demonstrate exceptional commitment to sustainability across operations, academics and student engagement.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been officially recognized as an affiliate of the Bee Campus USA program, joining a growing network of colleges, universities and communities committed to creating healthy, sustainable habitats for pollinators.
Billions upon billions of soot particles enter Earth’s atmosphere each second, totaling about 5.8 million metric tons a year — posing a climate-warming impact previously estimated at almost one-third that of carbon dioxide.
Now, researchers say the climate-altering properties of these particles can change within just hours of becoming airborne, rather than days as previously assumed.
A green space is growing on the roof of the Campus Center at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
It’s a community garden with five plots, each tended by students, staffers or professors with ample light and water. The output will be vegetables and herbs, with a portion donated to NJIT’s food pantry. The project has a broader purpose as well.
