Buffalo Business First quoted Kemper Lewis, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Carl Lund, chair of the school’s Department of Engineering Education, in a story about engineering education during the pandemic.
Newsy reported that with deepfake videos becoming much harder to detect, the Defense Department is funding researchers like Siwei Lyu, Empire Innovation Professor of Computer Science and Engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, in what it called a high-tech arms race to outsmart media manipulators.
Phys.org quoted Peter Q. Liu, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about his research demonstrating a new type of high-performance optical sensor which can utilize the surface tension of liquid as a means of significantly enhancing sensitivity.
Gizmodo quotes Albert Titus, professor and chair of biomedical engineering, in a story asking experts to explain whether wearable technologies accurately track calorie-burn.
WGRZ-TV featured Ken Regan, associate professor of computer science and engineering, in a story about the rise of online cheating in chess competitions during the pandemic. An expert on cheating in chess, Regan uses supercomputing power to input the appropriate information from the alleged cheating incident into the model and the supercomputer runs the numbers to determine if there has in fact been cheating.
IEEE Spectrum interviews Huamin Li, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about new transistor technology. The article reports that by combining graphene and molybdenum disulfide, researchers have made a transistor that operates at half the voltage and has a higher current density than any state-of-the-art 2D transistor previously under development.
