CNR Students Present Research at the 2026 Dana Knox Student Research Showcase

The Center for Natural Resources (CNR) at NJIT was proud to participate in the 2026 Dana Knox Student Research Showcase, where our students presented innovative research addressing real-world environmental challenges.

At the event, CNR students shared work focused on urban flooding, climate resilience, and data-driven environmental modeling. Through poster presentations and discussions with faculty, peers, and NJIT leadership, they highlighted how engineering and science can support more sustainable and resilient communities.

CNR students present their research to Dr. Michel Boufadel, Director of CNR, at the Dana Knox Student Research Showcase.

At CNR, we emphasize hands-on, community-centered research, and it was encouraging to see our students demonstrate how their work connects directly to real-world impact. From understanding environmental systems to developing practical solutions, these projects reflect our mission of bridging research and application.

The showcase also provided an opportunity for CNR students to gain valuable feedback, strengthen their presentation skills, and engage with a broader academic audience. Events such as Dana Knox help highlight the importance of student research in addressing current and future environmental challenges.

We congratulate all of our students who represented CNR at the showcase and thank everyone who stopped by to learn more about their work.
