More than 40 researchers from the University at Albany have been ranked among the world’s top researchers, according to a Stanford University study published annually through Elsevier.

The projects are the first five funded through the Center for Emerging Artificial Intelligence Systems (CEAIS), a $20 million UAlbany-IBM research collaboration announced last year by Gov. Kathy Hochul that included the installation of state-of-the-art prototype IBM AI hardware at UAlbany.

For the first time in 41 years, the University at Albany served as host institution for a meeting of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the preeminent organization advancing research and mathematics education in the United States.

The research grants will advance the efficiency and trustworthiness of artificial intelligence systems, and UAlbany was one of two SUNY Research Centers to receive four grants this year out of a total of 14 projects funded systemwide.

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University at Albany, State University of New York, invites applications for a faculty position in Data Science, beginning in Fall 2025.
