Research Highlights

The National Science Foundation has funded Josep Jornet and collaborators from the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, to use brain organoid models to explore brain-machine interfaces.

UB start-up, Sunny Clean Water, was started by EE Associate Professor Qiaoqiang Gan and his graduate student, Matt Singer.

Professor Sun's project, “Towards Metamaterial-inspired Networking for Wireless Devices in Extreme Environments,” earned this prestigious award from the National Science Foundation.

"Sunlight-powered purifier could clean water for the impoverished" highlights Professor Gan's solar device research which could help address global drinking water shortages.

The article, "Wanted: In-flight Drone Charging, Itty-Bitty Spy Cams, and More" discusses a recent Broad Agency Announcement from the U.S. Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office, and includes Professor Jornet's thoughts on how to achieve one of their requirements: a mini wireless video transmitter.

The article, "Hyperlens lights a new path to nanofabrication" highlights Professor Litchinitser's work in which a metamaterial lens beats diffraction limit and could bolster photolithography.

Edward Furlani and Josep Jornet (along with UB professors Albert Titus, Mark Ehrensberger, and Tom Furlani) will collaborate on the project, developing a new class of programmable electrical stimulation devices with integrated sensor and communications technologies, for the Buffalo Institute for Genomics and Data Analytics (BIG).

The project, "Microfluidic 3D Capillary Network Test Phantom for Subdermal Vascular Imaging," will be funded by NSF I/UCRC CITeR (Center for Identification Technology Research).
