Using AI for innovations in drug delivery and energy storage, and helping robots interact with one another are just some of the projects that students in UB’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences will work on thanks to the SUNY Research and Creative Activities for Undergraduates Program.

Joseph Atkinson, director of the Great Lakes Program at UB, weighs in.

Ying has been made a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers for her contributions to fast magnetic resonance imaging with sparse sampling.

Paul Cefola has been named a fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

A paper authored by Jinjun Xiong, SUNY Empire Innovation Professor in Computer Science and Engineering, earned the 2024 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences (TRPMS) journal. 

The work, from researchers in the UB Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies, could lead to energy-efficient microelectronics.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences’ engineering management program has been ranked No. 9 by the The U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Online Master’s in Engineering Programs rankings.

The U.S. News & World Report rankings spotlight the excellence of these innovative offerings.
