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.

Empire AI aims to put New York State at the forefront of the AI revolution. UB was chosen, in part, in recognition of deep and decades-long leadership in AI and data science by SEAS faculty.

The United States Air Force has chosen UB to lead an international effort to design and discover 2D materials for space technology, such as satellite sensors, cosmic radiation shields and quantum computing.
