Matt Bishop, a computer science professor at the University of California, Davis, leads a unique coalition of top-ranked universities, community colleges and cybersecurity organizations in launching an innovative new educational initiative to improve the country's software security: The Strengthen Workforce Education for Excellence in Programming Securely, or SWEEPS, program.
Watch Jerry Baldwin in conversation with Bill Ristenpart, professor of chemical engineering and director of the UC Davis Coffee Center. Baldwin reflects on his professional journey, the evolution of the coffee industry and his hopes for the future of coffee.
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and his lab have demonstrated a method for controlling the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical effect that draws small objects toward each other. The force can be so strong as to tear components inside a device apart.
The University of California has awarded nearly $6 million in state funding to eight research teams co-led by a UC researcher and a state firefighter to find out why cancer rates are so high among their ranks and help design possible solutions.
As a multidisciplinary hub for innovative research and unique educational experiences, the Coffee Center in the College of Engineering collaborates with the $28 billion U.S. coffee industry to tackle key challenges in sustainable farming, roasting, brewing and more.
This fall, UC Davis broke ground on a first-of-its-kind bird flight research center, which will allow students and researchers in the College of Engineering and School of Veterinary Medicine to study how birds fly to advance scientific understanding and aerial system design.
Before Judy Chang was overseeing the country's energy transmission as the first Asian American woman Commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, she was an undergraduate engineer walking through Kemper Hall. She talks about laying the groundwork for her career in energy policy and how her love of electronic music brought her to UC Davis.
Professor Chen-Nee Chuah leads AI/ML efforts within a multidisciplinary team that has received a $6 million grant from the National Institute on Aging to deepen the understanding of the neuropathologic landscape of Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on individuals who identify as Hispanic/Latino.
From capturing the cosmos through astrophotography to being boots on the ground as a NASA intern, aerospace and mechanical engineering undergraduate student Aidan Guerra is driven by exploring humanity's connection to space.
The materials science and engineering researcher and an interdisciplinary team formed at the Research Corporation for Science Advancement's Scialog have received funding to investigate water-free mining of valuable metals like iron and lithium.
From healthcare innovation to online communication, the associate professor's research in human-computer interaction aims to create effective, user-friendly tools that address complex societal challenges.
Erik Contreras, a UC Davis mechanical engineering graduate student, paused their degree to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Design. In this Q&A, Contreras discusses their interdisciplinary journey, creative hacking and their work on autonomous vehicles.
Professor Stephen Robinson’s childhood obsession with flying objects shaped a career that led him to becoming one himself as a NASA astronaut. On this week’s Face to Face hosted by Chancellor Gary S. May, hear Robinson detail lessons from his 37-year tenure at NASA.
Cheemeng Tan and Sean Collins, associate professors at UC Davis, are part of a national effort to develop a novel device for inflammatory bowel disease. The technology will function like a pharmacy inside the body, producing and releasing engineered cells as a real-time response to flare-ups.
