Interdisciplinary Research Programs

• The Advanced Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology Center, in cooperation with state, federal, and private agencies, performs research and development on equipment and methods to make highway systems safer to construct, use, and maintain.
• UC Davis Air Quality Research Center
• The Biochemical Engineering Program (BEP) emphasizes multidisciplinary research and educational programs that integrate fundamental principles of modern biological science and engineering and apply them to the discovery of new biotechnology projects and the development of enabling biotechnology processes.
• Bodega Marine Laboratory
• Center for Computational Science and Engineering
• The Center for Environmental and Water Resources Engineering (CEWRE) combines the talents of engineers, toxicologists, and hydrologists to monitor water quality, manage water usage, and investigate methods for reducing hazardous wastes in water.
• The Center for Geotechnical Modeling performs physical and numerical modeling research and training using one of the world's largest geotechnical centrifuges and advanced numerical simulation tools. Applications include the study of the effects of earthquakes and subsurface contaminant transport processes.
• The Center for Polymeric Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies (CPIMA) investigates technology for novel electronics, mechanics, and chemistry based on layers of surface-active polymers deposited on surfaces.
• Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS)
• Micro Instruments and Systems Laboratory (MISL) Group
• Western Center for Agricultural Equipment
