Description

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) sponsors Distinguished Speakers Series (DSS) and colloquium series events each semester. The speakers include well-known researchers invited from other universities and research centers, as well as UB faculty.

Attendance at Speaker Series events is a privilege of all members of the Department. You can learn a great deal about current research in a wide variety of areas of computer science by attending these talks, especially if the topic is one that is not taught here at UB. And you will have an opportunity to meet computer scientists from around the world.

Research Spotlight

New Building SW elevation

This concept scheme shows the new $75M Engineering building viewed from the southwest. This image also shows Ketter Hall (left) and Jarvis Hall (right). In 2008, UB demolished the trailers that had occupied this site.
Research Spotlight

Grants for research

CSE faculty average some $4.5 million annually in research grants. Our research areas range from high-performance computing to data mining.
Research Spotlight

Cutting-edge research facilities

CSE faculty are major participants in the new $200 million Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics.
Research Spotlight

High-performance

CSE's MultiStore Research Group is funded by a $1 million NSF grant for the development of high-performance online data-storage systems.
Research Spotlight

Automated mail

A CSE-affiliated research center developed the systems that postal agencies around the world use for automatically sorting hand-addressed mail.
Research Spotlight

New Building NE elevation

This concept scheme shows the new $75M Engineering building viewed from the northeast. Ketter and Furnas Halls can be seen on the left, just south of the new building. We broke ground in April 2009.
Research Spotlight

Working together

CSE faculty work with researchers in chemistry, the life sciences, the pharmaceutical sciences, media study, geography, and many other disciplines.
Research Spotlight

Supercomputing

The Cyberinfrastructure Laboratory maintains one of New York State's most powerful compute systems.
Research Spotlight

Award-winning faculty

The CSE faculty includes NSF CAREER award holders and ACM, IEEE, and AAAI fellows.
Research Spotlight

Algorithm therapy

A geometric algorithm developed by CSE professor Jinhui Xu configures a set of radiation beams to destroy brain tumors in a form of computer-aided surgery.
Research Spotlight

New Building NW elevation

This concept scheme shows the new $75M Engineering building viewed from the northwest. The edge of Ketter Hall is visible on the right, just east of the new building. Ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 2011.
Research Spotlight

Image analysis

CSE professor Aidong Zhang is developing intelligent content-analysis programs to automatically analyze images, replacing human coding of semantic content.
Research Spotlight

Structural determination

CSE professor Russ Miller is one of the authors of a program that can determine the structure of molecules as large as 2,000 atoms from X-ray diffraction patterns.
Research Spotlight

Handwriting recognition

Pursuing work on document verification and identification, CSE researchers use machine-learning algorithms to study handwriting variability.
Research Spotlight

Crystal clear

CSE Professor Russ Miller, along with Nobel Laureate Herbert Hauptman, developed an algorithm for crystal structure determination which is considered one of the top 10 algorithms of the 20th century by Computing in Science and Engineering Magazine.
