More UB students than ever are studying artificial intelligence due, in part, to a new master's degree focusing on AI. Enrollment has surged from five to 73 students, with another 50 expected in Spring 2025.

SEAS faculty have served as the principal investigator on over 130 projects awarded during the previous fiscal year, including on 10 grants of more than $1 million.

The new faculty members contribute to the University at Buffalo’s largest faculty-hiring initiative since the university joined the SUNY system in the 1960’s and will support UB’s Top 25 Ambition.

Made possible, in part, through a $40 million gift by alum Russell L. Agrusa—the largest in school history—the new building will be uniquely student-focused and accommodate the continued growth of SEAS.

More than 200 UB faculty are at work on projects that use AI to improve health care, infrastructure, national defense and more, all with a singular aim of solving societal challenges both large and small.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has appointed Robert Dell, David Doermann, Jeff Errington, and Yun Wu as chairs of their respective departments.

Led by Krishna Rajan, the Center for Accelerated Innovation through Materials will tap into UB's expertise in materials science, advanced manufacturing and AI to advance New York's clean energy economy.

Kemper Lewis was recognized for the AAAS—the world’s largest general science society and publisher of the journal “Science"—for his distinguished contributions to the field of design automation.

SEAS has elevated two faculty members to its leadership team: Kristen Moore, the school's first associate dean for equity and inclusion, and Kevin Burke, associate dean for student affairs.

Led by Jonathan Bird, the center will cement UB's position globally as a leader in microelectronics, supercharge research in the semiconductor industry, spur innovation, and strengthen the region's workforce.
