Researchers found that the structure and composition of materials can dramatically increase how often fusion happens at low energies. With a better understanding of the mechanism behind that effect, we may eventually be able to design materials that improve neutron sources or other fusion-based technologies.
In its first year, the UCOP Early Career Faculty Research Excellence Awards seek to advance the university’s commitment to the scholarship and creative activity of early career faculty across all 10 UC campuses. Engineering professors Hyoyoung Jeong and Jie Zheng help make up the inaugural cohort.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has established the Ding Prize for Scholarly Excellence in Electrical and Computer Engineering to recognize the top graduating student in electrical or computer engineering. Vivian Nguyen, a computer engineering student, is the award’s first recipient.
Clinicians and engineers at the University of California, Davis, are collaborating on AI-driven tools to analyze vast digital archives of brain tissue scans — work that cannot be done at scale by humans alone — to better understand dementia and improve diagnosis and treatment.
The University of California, Davis, has been selected as a core member of the Pacific Intermountain Network for Education in Semiconductors, a regional node of the National Network for Microelectronics Education, or NNME, designed to strengthen and scale the semiconductor workforce across the western United States.
Each year, the UC Davis College of Engineering celebrates the graduating seniors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, academic achievement and service both in and out of the classroom. These outstanding Aggie Engineers share their most impactful moments and fondest memories from their time at UC Davis.
For a master’s thesis describing a processing framework that achieved a 32 million-times improvement in speed and energy efficiency over NVIDIA, the College of Engineering celebrates Sagar Sajeev, a recent electrical and computer engineering alum.
For innovative research on chips that can sustain high speeds without sacrificing power or signal amplification, a feat necessary for realizing the wireless networks of tomorrow, Phat Nguyen has received the Zuhair A. Munir Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation in Engineering at UC Davis.
Each year, the College of Engineering celebrates staff members who consistently perform above and beyond expectations. Awardees exemplify exceptional service, innovative approaches, community engagement and commitment to the college's community core values.
