A collaboration between engineering and veterinary medicine, the new Center for Animal Locomotion and Innovation at UC Davis will use cutting-edge technology to understand birds of prey in flight, advancing the design of uncrewed aerial vehicles and the treatment and rehabilitation of birds.
Biomedical engineers at UC Davis have developed a platform to isolate the surface proteins of extracellular vesicles, the body’s biological messaging system. This research is a significant step toward building tools that transform extracellular vesicles into next-generation drugs for cancer and other diseases.
Assistant Professor Mohsen Habibi is part of a collaborative effort to develop a new 3D printing technique that uses sound waves for printing tiny structures onto soft polymers with intricate precision, paving the way for manufacturing microscale devices with greater detail than ever before.
Recent alum Tim Linke leveraged ties between UC Davis and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to conduct his computational research and develop a new framework that couples atom-scale simulations with code that describes the macroscopic world, all within a single simulation.
What if a smartphone could see what the human eye misses? A new UC Davis-designed app uses machine learning to track subtle hand movements during stroke rehabilitation, giving clinicians more specific data to assess recovery and tailor patient care.
Slippery, drippy goop makes Ralstonia bacteria devastating killers of plants, causing rapid wilting in tomato, potato and a wide range of other crops, according to new research. The work, published Jan. 22 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, comes from an unusual collaboration between plant pathologists and engineers at the University of California, Davis.
A recent study led by electrical and computer engineers at UC Davis, and reported in Advanced Photonics, has demonstrated that the power of a spectrometer can be replicated on a microscopic chip. This innovation paves the way for next-generation medical diagnostics and agricultural and environmental remote sensing.
Between her biological systems engineering research and her job as assistant grower at Gotham Greens, aka her “living lab,” master's student Grace Algeo is focused on developing practical tools that support growers, strengthen sustainability efforts and point toward a more resilient future for agriculture.
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.
Research led by UC Davis Professor of Biological and Agricultural Engineering Isaya Kisekka is using real-time data and smarter irrigation strategies to keep farms productive while safeguarding California’s long-term agricultural resilience.
