The University of California, Davis, Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering will soon be led by new incoming chairs.
Two first-generation UC Davis engineers, Rui Ming Yu and Krystle Catamura, are honored for their perseverance, purpose and impact. From mentoring in STEM to championing environmental justice, their journeys show how curiosity and courage can help shape California's future.
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.
Each year, the departments recognize 13 graduating seniors for showing exceptional leadership, academic achievement and service both in and out of the classroom.
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.
Every two years, the College of Engineering proudly recognizes alumni whose professional and personal achievements bring special honor to the college by awarding the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Medal.
