UB Engineering research centers
Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBE)
The Center for Biomedical Engineering conducts research in biomedical engineering, sponsors a seminar series, and publishes brochures and reports on biomedical engineering. It also serves as a resource for students seeking information about biomedical engineering programs, for companies seeking to hire engineers or become involved in collaborative projects, and for other outside agencies.
Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR)
Research at CEDAR focuses on the theory and applications of pattern recognition, machine learning, and information retrieval. Over the years, the applications explored have included document analysis and recognition, object recognition in images in three-dimensional scenes, forensic document examination, textual information retrieval, biometrics, and bioinformatics.
Center for Excellence in Global Enterprise Management (GEM)
The Center for Excellence in Global Enterprise Management was established in 1998 to deliver leading edge research driven by industrial need with results that have immediate practical impact.
Center of Hybrid Nanodevices and Systems (CoHNS)
The mission of the Center on Hybrid Nanodevices and Systems (CoHNS) is to integrate device concepts and systems principles in the design, development and implementation of new nano/micro/macro hybrid and complex systems with engineering solutions for domain specific applications. Bringing together complex engineering multi-scale systems and information technologies, CoHNS promotes new directions in the UB research and generates original engineering values and design technologies. Finally, CoHNS optimizes and integrates distributed systems within the broader environment of society and nature.
Center for Unified Biometrics (CUBS)
CUBS is focused on advancing the fundamental science of biometrics and providing key enabling technologies to build engineered systems. For the very first time anywhere, UB researchers are taking a unified view of biometric technologies by integrating software algorithms for accurate identification of various biometrics and data analysis (informatics) with hardware acquisition devices.
Center of Excellence in Information Systems Assurance Research and Education (CEISARE)
The goals of CEISARE are graduate education and coordinated research in computer security and information assurance by faculty members from several schools and departments at the University at Buffalo.
Center for Integrated Waste Management (CIWM)
Founded in 1987 as the New York State Center for Hazardous Waste Management, the Center was established by the New York State Legislation to initiate and coordinate research and technology development in the areas of toxic substances and hazardous wastes.
Center for Multisource Information Fusion (CMIF)
CMIF serves as one focal point for the conduct of research and development in information fusion, and serves as an incubation center for small businesses, professorial and individual entrepreneurial activities.
Energy Systems Institute (ESI)
The research focus of the ESI is the development of mechanisms to predict failure in electronic systems.
Great Lakes Program (GLP)
The mission of the Great Lakes Program is to develop, evaluate, and synthesize scientific and technical knowledge on the Great Lakes Ecosystem in support of public education and policy formation.
MCEER: Earthquake Engineering to Extreme Events
MCEER's overall goal is to enhance the seismic resiliency of communities through improved engineering and management tools for critical infrastructure systems (water supply, electric power, hospitals, transportation systems).
New York State Center for Engineering Design and Industrial Innovation (NYSCEDII)
NYSCEDII's mission is to provide state-of-the-art technologies and expertise that will enable New York State industry to achieve a greater degree of competitiveness.
Research Institute for Safety and Security in Transportation (RISST)
RISST, established jointly by the University at Buffalo and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is a resource to the aviation community for improving human factors aspects of security and maintenance system performance.
The Center for Industrial Effectiveness (TCIE)
The Center for Industrial Effectiveness (TCIE) forges a link between the University at Buffalo's technical resources and the business community. TCIE fosters partnerships and manages diverse projects.
