To investigate the functional properties of electronic and magnetic materials, Assistant Professor Roopali Kukreja leverages the coherent and highly stable x-ray beams available at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis is excited to welcome Kari E. Watkins as an Associate Professor. Watkins is a leading expert in transit, whose research contributes to the goal of expanding mobility options by improving transit, walking, bicycling, and other alternatives to driving.

With heart disease remaining the number one cause of death in the United States, Chen-Izu lab’s research into heart diseases is as relevant and urgent. The lab’s mission is to translate breakthrough research findings to develop new drug therapies to prevent and treat heart diseases more effectively.

ECE professor William Putnam’s lab receives National Science Foundation and Department of Energy awards to explore quantum and ultrafast photonics.

Each year, the award recognizes world-renowned researchers from all disciplines whose fundamental discoveries, theories and findings have had a lasting effect on their field. The awardees are then invited to German institutions as visiting scholars. Devanbu is known for his groundbreaking work on the “naturalness” of software.

The University of California, Davis, Office of Research is pleased to announce the appointment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Professor Cristina Davis as the new associate vice chancellor of Interdisciplinary Research and Strategic Initiatives (IRSI) effective April 11, 2022.

Enabling anyone to see the site's code is "a bit senseless," said Vladimir Filkov, a computer science professor at the University of California, Davis, because very few people can understand how Twitter's code base works to produce what they see on their screens.

Civil and environmental engineering professor Sabbie Miller has received $1.5M in federal funding from the Department of Energy’s ARPA-E agency to advance the methods and metrics necessary to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration in building materials.

Professor Emeritus Wilfried Brutsaert was awarded the 2022 Stockholm Water Prize for his groundbreaking work on quantifying terrestrial evaporation and its role in the energy balance of Earth.
