With only days to act, UC Davis engineer Michael Gardner went to Southern California to co-lead a team investigating Hurricane Marie’s shoreline damage. We spoke with Gardner about the team’s findings and what they may reveal ahead of what could be the strongest El Niño on record.
Assistant Professor Bruno Carciofi’s lab has won a UC Davis Lab Safety Award for its hazard communication. Department co-safety coordinator Victor Duraj also earned a Safety Star.
When researchers study cells, they are often unable to see the surrounding tissues, which means key information about health and disease goes unseen. UC Davis biomedical engineers have developed a new imaging technique that shows the full picture, aiming to provide unparalleled insights into cellular health.
UC Davis researchers are working with the dairy industry to transform cheese byproducts into biodegradable plastics for packaging and other products. The team aims to lower production costs, reduce processing waste and create new sources of revenue for dairy farmers.
For the first-ever UC Dialogue Fellows, Amir Saeidi, assistant professor of teaching in materials science and engineering, will help students navigate disagreements to strengthen teamwork and prepare them for professional practice.
A fourth-year mechanical and aerospace engineering student and member of the UC Davis women’s water polo team, Lillie Vehling exemplifies the Aggie spirit through her academic achievements, athletic dedication and commitment to water safety. She is this month’s guest on Face to Face with Chancellor May.
The University of California, Davis will join other universities, trade groups and a leading global food company in a university-led collaborative agricultural research program that leverages the advanced capacities of American institutions to meet global challenges in coffee and cacao research.
