UC Davis researchers model the future of lithium supplies and find battery recycling could dramatically reduce the need for new mines. The team calls for smarter policies and faster action to make EV adoption greener, cleaner and more resilient.
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering Simon Cherry's career spans more than three decades. His work has centered around understanding human health and disease as well as pursuing novel ways to develop faster and more sensitive imaging technologies that may benefit patients all over the world.
UC Davis civil and environmental engineering researchers have contributed to a new economic analysis that shows the high cost of inaction on California's perpetual water supply challenges. "We've done the math — and the costs of inaction are high economically and environmentally," says Professor Jay Lund.
Each year, the College of Engineering celebrates outstanding faculty with awards that recognize their dedication to ensuring the future of engineering through teaching and research.
From bioengineering and medical device development, the next chapter of UC Davis' innovation story is set to unfold at Aggie Square. Here is a look at three innovative teams and programs connected to the College of Engineering that are getting ready to call it home.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a fast and cost-effective microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
UC Davis engineering researcher Cristina Davis and UC Davis Health scientists used breath analysis to uncover how smoking, vaping and marijuana affect lung inflammation. Their findings reveal unique biological markers for each substance, offering a noninvasive tool to monitor airway health.
