NJIT NCE Graduate Fact Sheet

Faculty Research Grants and Awards NCE faculty conduct research supported by major corporations and national and international agencies. They present their work at leading conferences and workshops, and publish their studies in high-impact professional journals. Many have received prestigious awards for original and impactful work. Recent examples include: Treena Livingston Arinzeh, professor of biomedical engineering, is at the forefront of breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. Her signature, pioneering work involves developing biomaterials that stimulate, guide and support the growth of new bone, nerve and cartilage tissue from adult stem cells or other cell types. Arinzeh received a patent for a biomaterial she designed to coax nerve axons to grow across the damaged site of a severed spinal cord in order to reconnect functioning cells on both sides, thereby restoring nerve signal pathways, and, we hope, movement.

Michel Boufadel, professor of civil and environmental engineering, is the director of NJIT’s Center for Natural Resources Development and Protection. Boufadel serves on a panel appointed by the Royal Society of Canada, which evaluates the impact of crude oil spills in northern water bodies, including the Arctic Ocean. Boufadel is a notable voice in the Exxon Valdez oil-spill investigation and in analyzing BP’s Deep Water Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.

Namas Chandra, professor of biomedical engineering, is the director of NJIT’s Center for Injury Biomechanics, Materials and Medicine. He is the principal investigator for two U.S. Department of Defense grants totaling nearly $4.5 million on brain trauma.

Chandra and his team study the effects of shock waves on the brain in order to design and test helmets for soldiers. The helmets mitigate blasts from weapons of warfare, such as improvised explosive devices.

Rajesh Davé, distinguished professor of chemical, biological and pharmaceutical engineering, is an expert in particle engineering.

Davé received the 2015 Lectureship Award in Fluidization from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. By fluidizing particles, engineers are able to adapt their structure and behavior to improve a range of products, from cement and fuel to sunscreen and even cancer medications.

Mengchu Zhou, distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, received the Norbert Wiener Award for “fundamental contributions to the area of Petri net theory and applications to discrete event systems.” Zhou is an expert in robotics and automation problems, especially those involving manufacturing systems. His contributions include a more efficient way to help managers direct computer-controlled manufacturing systems by using mathematical modeling tools known as Petri nets.

Richard Foulds, associate professor of biomedical engineering, is the director of the Rehabilitation Engineering and Research Center at NJIT. Foulds received a five-year $4,625,000 grant with the Kessler Foundation from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research. The grant funds the development of the next generation of robotic exoskeletons or “wearable robots.” These robots improve mobility and enable safer and more independent functioning of individuals who have suffered strokes, spinal cord injuries or muscular dystrophy.

Faculty Spotlight Tara Alvarez, a professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT, is the director of NJIT’s Vision and Neural Engineering Laboratory. Alvarez received an Edison Patent Award from the Research & Development Council of New Jersey in 2015 for a novel device she and a colleague designed to help eye doctors predict how well patients adapt to progressive lenses. A key aspect of the device is the use of prisms to measure a person’s ability to adapt to a range of visual distances within a short period of time. The device was patented in the U.S., the European Union, New Zealand as well as several other countries in Asia and Africa.

Faculty Research Grants and Awards NCE faculty conduct research supported by major corporations and national and international agencies. They present their work at leading conferences and workshops, and publish their studies in high-impact professional journals. Many have received prestigious awards for original and impactful work. Recent examples include: Treena Livingston Arinzeh, professor of biomedical engineering, is at the forefront of breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. Her signature, pioneering work involves developing biomaterials that stimulate, guide and support the growth of new bone, nerve and cartilage tissue from adult stem cells or other cell types. Arinzeh received a patent for a biomaterial she designed to coax nerve axons to grow across the damaged site of a severed spinal cord in order to reconnect functioning cells on both sides, thereby restoring nerve signal pathways, and, we hope, movement.

Michel Boufadel, professor of civil and environmental engineering, is the director of NJIT’s Center for Natural Resources Development and Protection. Boufadel serves on a panel appointed by the Royal Society of Canada, which evaluates the impact of crude oil spills in northern water bodies, including the Arctic Ocean. Boufadel is a notable voice in the Exxon Valdez oil-spill investigation and in analyzing BP’s Deep Water Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.

Namas Chandra, professor of biomedical engineering, is the director of NJIT’s Center for Injury Biomechanics, Materials and Medicine. He is the principal investigator for two U.S. Department of Defense grants totaling nearly $4.5 million on brain trauma.

Chandra and his team study the effects of shock waves on the brain in order to design and test helmets for soldiers. The helmets mitigate blasts from weapons of warfare, such as improvised explosive devices.

Rajesh Davé, distinguished professor of chemical, biological and pharmaceutical engineering, is an expert in particle engineering.

Davé received the 2015 Lectureship Award in Fluidization from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. By fluidizing particles, engineers are able to adapt their structure and behavior to improve a range of products, from cement and fuel to sunscreen and even cancer medications.

Mengchu Zhou, distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, received the Norbert Wiener Award for “fundamental contributions to the area of Petri net theory and applications to discrete event systems.” Zhou is an expert in robotics and automation problems, especially those involving manufacturing systems. His contributions include a more efficient way to help managers direct computer-controlled manufacturing systems by using mathematical modeling tools known as Petri nets.

Richard Foulds, associate professor of biomedical engineering, is the director of the Rehabilitation Engineering and Research Center at NJIT. Foulds received a five-year $4,625,000 grant with the Kessler Foundation from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research. The grant funds the development of the next generation of robotic exoskeletons or “wearable robots.” These robots improve mobility and enable safer and more independent functioning of individuals who have suffered strokes, spinal cord injuries or muscular dystrophy.
