Dean Corsi and his team have tested the durability and effectiveness of his codesigned Corsi-Rosenthal Box, a low-cost DIY filter that removes harmful air particles from wildfire smoke and indoor air pollutants. He’ll share his team’s new findings at the ACS Spring 2025 Spring Digital Meeting.
Assistant Professor Alexander Gamero-Garrido and Ph.D. student Nishant Acharya, both of computer science, have been selected for the Internet Society’s Pulse Research Fellowship and Mentorship program. Their work aims to enhance internet resilience by analyzing disruptions to critical network hubs and improving global connectivity.
Ilias Tagkopoulos, director of the AI Institute for Next-Generation Food Systems at UC Davis, is harnessing AI to revolutionize food and health. From mapping food chemistry to optimizing sustainable production, his research aims to create smarter, healthier and more accessible nutrition for all.
UC Davis researchers, including Dean of the College of Engineering Richard Corsi, are tackling indoor air quality — an often-overlooked factor in health and productivity. From ventilation strategies to airborne disease transmission, their work is shaping cleaner, healthier indoor spaces in homes, schools and workplaces.
On February 19, College of Engineering Dean’s Distinguished Speaker Rebecca Richards-Kortum presented her talk, “How Can Engineering Address Needs in Low-Resource Settings? Sustainable Solutions for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health,” at the UC Davis Walter A. Buehler Alumni Center.
The Cube³ Lab, part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has developed a new course for first-year students to build community as they learn about and find solutions to the issues women face in STEM fields.
Engineers Without Borders breaks down barriers internationally and on campus at UC Davis by providing a space for people across majors to get hands-on experience on real-world projects.
At the UC Davis College of Engineering, the concept of "engineering for all" is more than a slogan — it is a call to action, exemplified by programs like Cheng’s Center for Integrated Computing and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Education.
Assistant Professor of Biological and Agricultural Engineering Shamim Ahamed leads a technical assistance and educational effort for the soilless approach to agriculture in the Golden State. The method lets farmers get more out of their water and put less pressure on the state water budget.
Renewable energy sources like wind and solar need a storage system capable of charging and discharging to relieve the power grid. Instead of building new infrastructure, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering imagines a system built from half-used EV batteries.
