Beginning this year, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences initiated five new awards to recognize faculty excellence in teaching and research.
Qing He, Stephen Still Assistant Professor in Transportation Engineering and Logistics, was interviewed by The Weather Channel’s “Weekend Recharge” for a story about weather-related tweets. He was also featured on WKBW-TV's monthly Buffalo Niagara 360 Spotlight Professional Series as a rising star in transportation engineering.
UB researchers found that Twitter can provide fairly sensitive data about not only current weather conditions, but the condition of roads and highways.
IEEE student members Katherine Czerniejewski, Julie Fetzer, and Dana Voll discussed Tinker, the STEM camp they launched at UB to encourage high school girls to pursue STEM studies, at an IEEE summit on women in engineering.
PhD Student Alireza Farasat received second place in the Interactive Poster Session at the INFORMS Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, Nov 1-4, for his poster "Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Future Paradigm of Educational Environments."
SUNY Distinguished Professor Rajan Batta and ISE Chair Ann Bisantz were honored October 22 at UB's Annual Celebration of Faculty and Staff Academic Excellence. Batta received UB's Graduate Student Mentoring Award, while Bisantz received the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Research and Creative Activities.
