The associate professor of computer science is among just five researchers from across the nation to have received the award in support of foundational AI research. Huang aims to give AI agents a way to adapt mid-workflow and prove their plans are safe before acting.
In a new study published in Nature Communications, UC Davis researchers detail an infrared sensor that excels above freezing temperatures. The sensor combines a membrane-based design and radio frequencies to increase performance, detecting signals as low as 740 picowatts in room temperature environments.
The UCPRC turns research data into tools and practices used to improve California’s roads. Somayeh Nassiri, the center’s new director, is driven to advance the state’s leadership in pavement innovation and collaborating with transportation agencies across the nation.
Led by the UC Davis Department of Computer Science, the AI for Health Initiative will connect researchers and clinicians across disciplines to advance responsible AI use in medicine, support student training and strengthen partnerships with UC Davis Health.
UC Davis researcher Rich Whittle joined an international team aboard a parabolic flight to study how microgravity affects blood flow to protect astronauts during long-duration space missions.
Professor Michele Barbato co-authored a chapter in the book recognized with a State-of-the-Art Civil Engineering Award by The American Society of Civil Engineers. The award celebrates the most gifted civil engineers who review and interpret scientific and technical information for the benefit of their colleagues.
UC Davis engineers Isaac Kim and Mingwei Zhang were among the recipients of the inaugural awards granted through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission — a national program leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, discovery science and national security.
Researchers found that the structure and composition of materials can dramatically increase how often fusion happens at low energies. With a better understanding of the mechanism behind that effect, we may eventually be able to design materials that improve neutron sources or other fusion-based technologies.
A new study from UC Davis materials science and engineering researchers shows how combining AI with laboratory experiments could speed up the development of more durable, stable materials, ultimately leading to reliable, low-cost solar energy technologies.
In its first year, the UCOP Early Career Faculty Research Excellence Awards seek to advance the university’s commitment to the scholarship and creative activity of early career faculty across all 10 UC campuses. Engineering professors Hyoyoung Jeong and Jie Zheng help make up the inaugural cohort.
