Clinicians and engineers at the University of California, Davis, are collaborating on AI-driven tools to analyze vast digital archives of brain tissue scans — work that cannot be done at scale by humans alone — to better understand dementia and improve diagnosis and treatment.
Chemical engineering graduate student success gains momentum with an investment by UC Davis alum Howard Stone and his wife, Valerie, to renovate graduate student office space and establish an endowment supporting collaboration and research.
With cocoa crops increasingly threatened by climate change, UC Davis engineers are helping develop cultured chocolate grown directly from plant cells. The burgeoning technology could transform how chocolate is produced while making the treat more sustainable and resilient.
At UC Davis, graduating seniors in materials science and engineering spend their final year solving real problems for professional sponsors, emerging with the hands-on skills, mentorship and workplace-ready experience that traditional coursework rarely provides.
UC Davis will soon open the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Center for Agricultural Innovation, where Fadi Fathallah, professor and chair of biological and agricultural engineering, is leading robotics research to develop practical, field-ready technologies that improve efficiency, sustainability and resilience in modern agriculture.
The EPiC project is rethinking where biomanufacturing can happen, from remote deserts to space. With plant-based “mini factories,” 3D-printed handheld bioreactors and innovative training, the team is building a more sustainable future for making food, medicine and more.
As cybercrime surges, UC Davis computer scientist Matt Bishop aims to build a stronger frontline. His SWEEPS initiative trains developers to write secure, resilient software from day one — shifting cybersecurity from patching crises to proactively defending our digital lives.
UC Davis alum and industry leader John Wasson reflects on how his chemical engineering degree prepared him to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges and highlights the value of supporting engineering education and research at UC Davis to help the next generation tackle the biggest issues of tomorrow.
Designed for students without an engineering background, a new master’s program at UC Davis prepares graduates to meet the rising demand for the workforce across energy, biotech and advanced manufacturing.
A dynamic digital twin designed by researchers at UC Davis was launched into Earth’s orbit on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The payload is expected to send data about the satellite’s state of health over the next month.
At the inaugural AI Innovation Showcase and Prem Jain Symposium, hosted by the UC Davis College of Engineering, faculty, students, alumni and industry partners explored cutting-edge research, startups and programs, emphasizing the importance of collaboration to advance AI.
At LBNL’s mechanical engineering summer internship, undergraduate student Jack Hervey learned how much he enjoys the hands-on aspects of engineering, from modeling support structures to vibration testing, which involves hitting things with a sledgehammer.
The Faculty Fellows Program has selected Assistant Professor Surl-Hee (Shirley) Ahn and Associate Professor Jiandi Wan, who will collaborate with investigators at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on research and workforce development in the fields of energy resilience and battery technology.
UC Davis Ph.D. candidate Nicole O’Shea is forging new discoveries in ternary metal alloys through a fellowship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, while also cultivating community on campus and inspiring peers in the collaborative materials science field.
