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.
From fire-detecting drone swarms to optimally efficient human-autonomy collaboration, the UC Davis mechanical and aerospace engineering professor and a principal investigator at CITRIS uses complex technological systems to address complex challenges.
Researchers in the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offer insights on devices that operate like solar cells in reverse and can generate power even in the absence of sunlight, offering an alternative route for energy production.
Fifth-year biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Ben Mattison has found the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab an invaluable resource for realizing his research that eyes new territory in microscopy.
Producing materials such as steel, plastics and cement in the United States alone inflicts $79 billion a year in climate-related damage around the world, according to a new study by engineers and economists at the University of California, Davis. Accounting for these costs in market prices could encourage progress toward climate-friendly alternatives.
Professor of Chemical Engineering Adam Moulé and his lab have developed a novel method of patterning semiconducting polymers, a notoriously difficult material, using existing tools, paving the way for endless possibilities for sensors and optics.
The UC Davis College of Engineering has established a new center focused on artificial intelligence, or AI. The UC Davis AI Center in Engineering will work to leverage AI for the betterment of humanity and the planet through advancements in foundational research, translational applications and educational efforts.
Distinguished Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Dan Sperling is the 2024 recipient of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s S.S. Steinberg Award.
At UC Davis, the chemical engineering Ph.D. student and iCAMP researcher aims to lower the production costs of cultivated meat, making it a sustainable, affordable solution for a global problem.
A new video series developed by experts at the UC Davis College of Engineering and California Department of Public Health aims to help building and facility managers better understand how to manage indoor air quality. Better indoor air quality can reduce the spread of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 and improve productivity in schools and workplaces.
