A poster highlighting associate professor Huamin Li’s research, “Interfacial Design of Two-Dimensional Energy-Efficient Nanoelectronics,” received first-place at the NSF's Nanoscale Science and Engineering Grantees Conference poster presentation.

Huamin Li, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, was recognized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Region 1 for his role as a mentor with the 2023 IEEE Region 1 Young Professionals Award.

A University at Buffalo research paper highlighting a new method to generate energy from 2D semiconductors while maintaining or enhancing ubiquitous semiconductor technology earned Editor’s Pick in the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B.

The team will use AI and quantum science to apply 2D materials to satellite sensors, radiation shields and quantum computing.

Highlights include making hydrogen fuel cell less expensive and keeping bridges open after earthquakes.

Electrical and electronics engineering research from universities across the U.S. shared their findings and celebrated some of the most significant achievements in electrical engineering during a three-day symposium on UB’s campus, last month.

It could reduce industry’s reliance on expensive platinum, which has hindered the growth of fuel cell electric vehicles, green power generation and more.
