Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite leads a team of UC Davis researchers in an AI-driven project to build foundational knowledge of halide perovskites, a promising material for solar cells.
The National Academy of Inventors has elected Junshan Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, as a fellow. The fellowship is the highest professional distinction awarded solely to inventors.
Jeong is one of 12 early-career faculty members who will receive a boost as this year's class of Hellman Fellows at UC Davis. The fellowship includes funding that will directly support Jeong's research into autonomous seizure management.
After seeing the gaps in robotics in the automotive industry, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Iman Soltani is teaching robots to adjust their sight line using active vision and machine learning, hoping to push robotics one step closer to widespread adoption.
Matt Bishop, a computer science professor at the University of California, Davis, leads a unique coalition of top-ranked universities, community colleges and cybersecurity organizations in launching an innovative new educational initiative to improve the country's software security: The Strengthen Workforce Education for Excellence in Programming Securely, or SWEEPS, program.
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and his lab have demonstrated a method for controlling the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical effect that draws small objects toward each other. The force can be so strong as to tear components inside a device apart.
The University of California has awarded nearly $6 million in state funding to eight research teams co-led by a UC researcher and a state firefighter to find out why cancer rates are so high among their ranks and help design possible solutions.
This fall, UC Davis broke ground on a first-of-its-kind bird flight research center, which will allow students and researchers in the College of Engineering and School of Veterinary Medicine to study how birds fly to advance scientific understanding and aerial system design.
The materials science and engineering researcher and an interdisciplinary team formed at the Research Corporation for Science Advancement's Scialog have received funding to investigate water-free mining of valuable metals like iron and lithium.
From healthcare innovation to online communication, the associate professor's research in human-computer interaction aims to create effective, user-friendly tools that address complex societal challenges.
