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.

Urban air mobility, AI-driven aerospace design and what’s next in space exploration took center stage at the second annual Northern California Aerospace Symposium, which brought researchers, students and industry leaders to UC Davis to advance aerospace research and collaboration.

Theresa Maldanado, the vice president for Research and Innovation at the University of California Office of the President, discussed frameworks and mindsets that can best position engineers to make real impact.

The second annual research symposium was held May 9, 2023. It offered an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, junior specialists and other trainees to share their work relevant to neuroengineering in oral presentations, lightning talks and/or poster presentations.

The University of California, Davis College of Engineering and the Global Semiconductor Alliance's Women's Leadership Initiative are partnering to promote conversation about career paths and companies shaped by the semiconductor industry and expand the pipeline for a more diverse workforce.

Just under a year after the College of Engineering and Dean Richard Corsi launched the Next Level research vision, on March 16 the college hosted the 2023 Next Level Research Showcase to highlight 2022's award recipients, including their advancements in research and lessons learned.  

Throughout the end of 2022, the College of Engineering funded a series of nine presentations from scholars across the globe and one professional from Google as part of its inaugural Quantum Information Science and Technology, or QuiST, Colloquium. The college recognized the effort as part of its Next Level strategic vision, which uplifts research and education that engineers a better world for all.  

February 23 marked the return of the College of Engineering Dean’s Distinguished Speaker Series with a full crowd at the Student Community Center welcoming Linsey Marr to campus.  

Lynden A. Archer is the James A. Friend Family Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and David Croll Director of the Cornell Energy Systems Institute. Archer’s lecture, “Breaking Rules for Cost-Effective Storage of Energy,” focused on how rechargeable electrochemical cells based on earth-abundant metallic anodes offer the potential for transformative advances in cost-effective storage of electrical energy.
