But University at Buffalo researchers who study electronics packaging recently made a pleasant discovery. 2009-03-20T00:00:00-05:00 99980009 http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9915 In 2007, University at Buffalo computer scientist Sargur Srihari, Ph.D., one of the world's experts on pattern recognition and its application to fingerprints and handwriting, was selected by the National Academy of Sciences to serve with other national experts on its Committee on Identifying the Needs of the Forensic Science Community. The NAS released the panel's findings in a report called "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward" 2009-02-18T00:00:00-05:00 99150009 http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9882 Snow that blows and drifts across roadways has long troubled road maintenance crews and commuters alike, creating treacherous driving conditions and requiring additional maintenance resources to mitigate the problem. Now, a University at Buffalo engineer has led the development of "SnowMan," a user-friendly, desktop software package that puts cost-effective solutions to the snow drift problem at the fingertips of highway designers and road maintenance personnel. 2009-01-29T00:00:00-05:00 98820009 http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9845 In the world of supercomputers, practical considerations like energy consumption have traditionally been overshadowed by the emphasis on high performance. But as energy costs have increased, computational scientists at the University at Buffalo's Center for Computational Research (CCR) have found a way to do more cutting-edge science while consuming less power. 2009-01-07T00:00:00-05:00 98450009 http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9819 Using the bells and whistles of a state-of-the-art entertainment arcade, a University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education project aims to improve the driving habits of teenagers at the very top of the risk pool, and at the same time bring child and parent together for a happier, better functioning family. 2008-12-11T00:00:00-05:00 98190009 http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9799 In tough economic times, the promise of healthy scholarships plus guaranteed employment upon graduation may sound too good to be true, but that's just what the University at Buffalo is offering to a few lucky students, starting in fall 2009. 2008-11-24T00:00:00-05:00 97990009 http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9796 Think protecting young teenagers on the Internet is important? Then be sure they think it's important, too, according to a forthcoming article in IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. 2008-11-21T00:00:00-05:00 97960009
