Junaid Zubairi, professor of Computer and Information Sciences, gave a presentation, "Flight Data to Earth,” at a seminar hosted by the IEEE Buffalo Section on Thursday, May 3, in Buffalo.

In his talk, Dr. Zubairi explained salient features of this patented Flight Data Tracker technology that could potentially save lives. He cited a recent example, the Southwest flight in April 2018, in which the engine caught fire and one passenger was killed. Such mishaps can be avoided, Zubairi believes, through the FDT-based monitoring and data mining that can generate alerts for any abnormal sensor values in real time.

Zubairi also reported to the audience that the Fredonia Technology Incubator has established an ADRL (Advanced Data Research Lab) to implement a prototype FDT system.

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology.
