New York’s leading public research universities are on the forefront of education and scientific innovation.


Only sixty-five years young, Stony Brook University is recognized as one of the nation’s top research universities, serving as a powerful engine for economic development, technological innovation and clinical care. SBU is not only transforming lives by revolutionizing cancer prognosis and advancing life-saving technologies for cardiac patients but also by offering a world-class education to students from all socio-economic backgrounds, providing them unmatched social and economic mobility.

The University at Buffalo was recognized as a research powerhouse back in 1989, when it became the first public university in New York invited to join the AAU, and its impact has only grown over the years. From developing new ways to treat memory loss in Alzheimer’s to pioneering minimally invasive surgical techniques, UB is making discoveries that lead to longer, healthier lives.

Tool Protects App Users from Privacy Leaks

Today’s mobile apps are increasingly aggressive at collecting users’ private data. App users have very limited control over how and when apps should be allowed to access sensitive sensors or personal data, ranging from cameras and GPS to contacts and app usage history. The problem is further complicated as more and more apps integrate “data-hungry” components, such as advertising, analytics and user trackers.
