At the 2023 Modeling and Simulation (MODSIM) World 2023 Conference in Norfolk, Virginia, ISTL Director Kevin Hulme, PhD, and his team of transportation engineering researchers presented their findings in the application of different video game engine simulations to enhance transportation research.
All nuclear power plants are required to have a significant level of resistance to the effects of earthquake shaking, but the safety-grade nuclear equipment is generally large and routinely custom-made for each nuclear plant. Whittaker’s team will simplify plant design and standardize the equipment to drive down cost and speed construction.

Chunming Qiao was one of two University at Buffalo professors to be selected as s recipient of the 2021-22 Excellence in Graduate Student Mentoring Award.
Chunming Qiao received the IEEE Communications Society Optical Networking Technical Committee Outstanding Achievement Award for his “pioneering research on optical burst switching.”
Auto-flaggers for work zones, contactless fingerprint scanners, and a tool to defend against fake media were just a few of the inventive student research projects presented at the first annual Russell Agrusa CSE Student Innovation Competition.
WHEC in Rochester interviewed Chunming Qiao, SUNY Distinguished Professor and chair of Computer Science and Engineering, about an app he’s the leading the development of to help with contact tracing for COVID-19.
ABC News affiliate WHAM 13, published a report about PocketCare+, a contact tracing app that UB researchers are developing to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
WGRZ, WKBW, Spectrum News and WHEC report on PocketCare+, a new app developed by UB computer scientists and engineers that will provide a technologically advanced form of contact tracing to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Research in environmental engineering seeks to better understand the physical, chemical, and biological processes that influence the health of our environment and to pursue innovative solutions for its protection. Researchers in this area also focus on engineering sustainability.
Research in geosystems engineering addresses computational geomechanics, deep foundations, ground improvement, seismic response of soils, liquefaction, and retrofit of foundations, dams, slopes, and retaining walls.
Researchers in the structural engineering, mechanics and materials group enhance community resiliency to earthquakes, develop design guidelines for buildings and other structures, and conduct vital research in various emerging areas such as wind, fire and materials engineering.
Research in transportation systems engineering focuses on improving the efficiency, safety, sustainability, and resiliency of surface transportation systems.
