The UC Davis professor joined the 2023 class of leaders in cybersecurity and was honored for his contributions to the field through education and research.
Jie Zheng, a new assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, studies the cognitive mechanisms the human brain uses to structure and store memories. Through a deeper understanding of these processes, Zheng hopes to improve medical interventions for cognitive disorders like dementia.
When Associate Professor Emilie Roncali was a project scientist in the Cherry Lab, she developed a field-defining simulation model for nuclear medicine. Now, she’s working to level up the model with generative AI.
The University of California, Davis, is leading the establishment of a new Integrative Center for Alternative Meat and Protein, or iCAMP. The center will work toward large-scale commercialization and technological advancement of alternative proteins, including cultivated meat (from animal cells grown in large fermentors), plant- and fungal-based foods, and innovative hybrids that combine conventional meat products with alternative proteins.
With the prestigious early-career faculty grant, the assistant professor of chemical engineering will investigate complex fluid dynamics of microscopic particles and support underrepresented transfer students in their STEM education.
Professor Saif Islam has received the 2024 SPIE Aden and Marjorie Meinel Technology Achievement Award for his influential advancements in ultrafast and highly efficient photodetectors.
Research led by University of California, Davis, sheds new light on how to access the sugars locked up in plant materials to convert byproducts into new feedstocks to produce fuels, materials and chemicals.
A team of UC Davis researchers led by bioengineer Aijun Wang has designed and tested a supportive structure, called a scaffold, that can help large deep burn wounds heal faster. The promising new treatment was found to promote the formation of new blood vessels and reduce complications linked to open burn wounds.
UC Davis associate professor Jesús Velázquez got hooked on education during a sixth-grade science fair. Today, he helps others realize their academic goals by lifting up others and modeling the belief that empathy and scientific rigor can coexist.
As researchers look for new ways to help slow a changing climate and mitigate the effects of a fossil fuel-based energy system, UC Davis professor Ambarish Kulkarni and his team of researchers are using chemical engineering to find sustainable solutions.
