Blog: Step Into the Unknown, Take the Out-of-State Internship
What happens when a Davis-based chemical engineering student trades nanoscale research for manufacturing facilities in Iowa? Roanna Pham spent her summer learning predictive maintenance, building a machine-learning tool and embracing the unexpected.
$1 Million Fellowship in Coffee Science Established at UC Davis
A $1 million endowment from the Specialty Coffee Association will provide lasting support for graduate student researchers at the UC Davis Coffee Center and help prepare future leaders in coffee science.
State Grants Support UC Davis Students’ Research in Precision Medicine and Health Equity
Two M.D./Ph.D. students with a biomedical engineering focus have been awarded grants from the California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine. The grants support leading-edge research aimed at improving patient care and advancing health equity.
Beyond Silicon: Modeling the Materials Behind the Future of Electronics
Through a collaboration with Germany’s Max Planck Institute, UC Davis Ph.D. student Toulik Maitra is developing computational tools to accelerate the design of organic semiconductors that could help advance flexible electronics and more efficient OLED displays.
From Sketch to Prototype
When biomedical engineering students walked into a room full of clinicians at UC Davis Health, they carried two medical device prototypes. One was an alum’s late-night sketch, while the other was theirs. What unfolded in that room over several hours became the basis for First Bite, a medical device designed to safely secure breathing tubes for infants.
