Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

The NorCal Control Workshop is a collaborative event organized by researchers from UC Davis, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC Merced, and UC Santa Cruz.

In preclinical studies, which often involve over 10 years of laboratory and animal testing, only 0.1% receive approval for human trials.

Mechanical filters in electronics have come a long way since their introduction in the 1920s. Modern cell phones have more than 40 micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) filters based on acoustic cavities formed by piezoelectric materials.

How can a tiny microcontroller board combined with AI solve a real-life food system problem? Are you ready to take on the challenge?

Undergrads and grad students are invited to join the AIFS x Sony AI AgTech Challenge!

This seminar is for MAE faculty and graduate students only.

Technology has made health seemingly quantifiable and trackable, but does it actually improve our well-being? Co-presented with UC Davis Grand Challenges, this Open Question session invites you to explore the intersection of technology, fitness, and happiness.

Most incredible animal adaptations, such as aerial control, have been shaped by natural selection in which the fluid environment has played a fundamental role. Similarly, at sub-millimeter scales, some tiny organisms use other phenomena, such as electrostatics, to their biological advantage.

We are pleased to invite you all to this seminar on the aerodynamics and fluid-structure interaction of small flyers presented by Professor Chandan Bose from Birmingham University.
