An article published in The American Society of Safety Professionals interviews Lora Cavuoto, associate professor of industrial and systems engineering in the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, about her research that shows the value of wearable technology in the workplace, which can be used to monitor fatigue levels to reduce injuries and increase productivity, and could help prevent as much as $130 billion per year in health-related productivity loss. 

This is the story of how one manufacturing company - Keller Technology Corporation - forged the path of strengthening its business quality management system. 

Six University at Buffalo researchers have been awarded SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grants (IITG) to pilot campus innovations and initiatives that have the potential to be replicated and scaled up throughout the State University of New York system (SUNY).

An article in Science News, the publication of the Society for Science and the Public, about a new design for sun-powered desalinization technology that may lead to longer-lasting devices that produce cleaner water, interviews Qiaoqiang Gan, associate professor of electrical engineering in the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Gan was not involved in the research.

An article on NBC News which reports on a giant “energy kite” that’s flying off the coast of Hawaii interviews John Hall, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Hall said that the kite's lightweight design suggests that it can be transported and used to restore power to regions experiencing outages in the wake of storms or other natural disasters.
