As Professors for the Future Fellows, chemical engineering Ph.D. candidates Ece Goktayoglu and Joaquin Mogollon Santiana will strengthen leadership and teaching skills to prepare for a career in academia.
Professor of Teaching Jason White is reimagining a chemical engineering course to create a classroom that is welcoming and accessible for neurodivergent learners. Discover how he is using Universal Design for Learning to make engineering education inclusive for all.
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 UC Davis pre-college program helped Sofia Jordana discover her passion for chemical engineering. Now a second-year undergraduate, she’s all in, leading AIChE events and showing how enthusiasm and curiosity can shape an engineering journey.
The EPiC project is rethinking where biomanufacturing can happen, from remote deserts to space. With plant-based “mini factories,” 3D-printed handheld bioreactors and innovative training, the team is building a more sustainable future for making food, medicine and more.
UC Davis alum and industry leader John Wasson reflects on how his chemical engineering degree prepared him to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges and highlights the value of supporting engineering education and research at UC Davis to help the next generation tackle the biggest issues of tomorrow.
Designed for students without an engineering background, a new master’s program at UC Davis prepares graduates to meet the rising demand for the workforce across energy, biotech and advanced manufacturing.
The Faculty Fellows Program has selected Assistant Professor Surl-Hee (Shirley) Ahn and Associate Professor Jiandi Wan, who will collaborate with investigators at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on research and workforce development in the fields of energy resilience and battery technology.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have been awarded a $3 million National Science Foundation grant to develop new technologies and workforce training programs to grow plants in low-resource environments both on Earth and in space.
