UB welcomes 34 new engineering and applied sciences faculty
New faculty part of UB’s largest faculty-hiring initiative since the 1960’s
This year, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences welcomes 34 new faculty members. The scholars bring expertise and interest ranging from software security and electrochemical separations to digital storytelling.
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.
