UC Davis Tech Foundry signifies the facility’s evolution from a biomedical engineering makerspace to a device development center providing engineering services and education to all in need across two locations — one on the Davis campus and another at Aggie Square in Sacramento.
Meet the Materials Science Advantage Chapter, the UC Davis engineering club responsible for Picnic Day’s famous Materials Magic Show — and for bringing attention to the amazing things materials science makes possible.
UC Davis researchers have developed low-cost, portable sensors to help California communities detect harmful air pollutants. Their goal is to provide real-time data on toxic metals, empowering residents and regulators to identify pollution sources and push for cleaner air.
Meet the five Aggie Engineers on the 111th Picnic Day board who are bringing their skills, ingenuity and engineering acumen to the (picnic) table to ensure everything from the Doxie Derby to the Chemistry Show is a success at this annual event.
Michael C. and Renée Z. Child have made outstanding contributions to the University of California, Davis, including the College of Engineering where Michael received his undergraduate degree in electrical and computer engineering in 1976.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has elected Raissa M. D’Souza, associate dean of research for the College of Engineering at UC Davis, to its 2024 class of fellows for her distinguished efforts to advance science and its applications.
UC Davis Coffee Center researchers, in collaboration with the Coffee Science Foundation, are investigating how physical defects in green coffee affect flavor. By identifying sensory thresholds for defects, their work aims to refine coffee grading standards and improve quality assessment in the coffee industry.
The regional magazine has recognized Davis-based company Elve for its pathbreaking efforts to design and produce affordable millimeter wave amplifiers. The company was founded by Diana Gamzina, a three-time mechanical and aerospace engineering alumni at the University of California, Davis.
Dean Corsi and his team have tested the durability and effectiveness of his codesigned Corsi-Rosenthal Box, a low-cost DIY filter that removes harmful air particles from wildfire smoke and indoor air pollutants. He’ll share his team’s new findings at the ACS Spring 2025 Spring Digital Meeting.
Assistant Professor Alexander Gamero-Garrido and Ph.D. student Nishant Acharya, both of computer science, have been selected for the Internet Society’s Pulse Research Fellowship and Mentorship program. Their work aims to enhance internet resilience by analyzing disruptions to critical network hubs and improving global connectivity.
