UB's Transportation Researchers Helped Develop U.S.-Canada Traffic Alert System View Photo 11/20/09 The University at Buffalo's Transportation Systems Laboratory is only a year old, but already its researchers are helping enhance the mobility of travelers in Western New York and southern Ontario.
Student Drivers -- Especially Males -- Think Hands-free Cell Phones are Safer 09/08/09 Driver education classes should be teaching young drivers that all kinds of mobile phones, both conventional and hands-free, are a dangerous distraction, says a University at Buffalo researcher, who studies driving behaviors.
Social Work Heads into Cyberspace View Photo 05/04/09 The University at Buffalo School of Social Work has put its ambitions to be a national leader in using digital technologies to teach the social work profession where they belong -- online.
UB Engineers Prove That Carbon Nanotubes Are Superior to Metals for Electronics View Photo 03/20/09 In the quest to pack ever-smaller electronic devices more densely with integrated circuits, nanotechnology researchers keep running up against some unpleasant truths: higher current density induces electromigration and thermomigration, phenomena that damage metal conductors and produce heat, which leads to premature failure of devices. But University at Buffalo researchers who study electronics packaging recently made a pleasant discovery.
The Future of Forensic Science: UB Researcher Contributes to National Report View Photo 02/18/09 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"
"SnowMan" Software Developed at UB Helps Keep Snow Drifts Off the Road View Photo 01/29/09 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.
More Bang for Less Buck: UB's Supercomputers Go "Green" View Photo 01/07/09 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.
UB Driver Simulation Study Targets High-Risk Teenage Drivers View Photo 12/11/08 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.
Scholarships and Jobs for Students Who Choose Cybersecurity 11/24/08 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.
Teens' Online Safety Improved by Education, Research Shows 11/21/08 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.
