With three decades of experience in wireless communications, new adjunct professor Jin Yang discusses how she aims to bridge industry and academia while preparing students to lead the next generation of wireless innovation in this Q&A.
When researchers study cells, they are often unable to see the surrounding tissues, which means key information about health and disease goes unseen. UC Davis biomedical engineers have developed a new imaging technique that shows the full picture, aiming to provide unparalleled insights into cellular health.
UC Davis researchers are working with the dairy industry to transform cheese byproducts into biodegradable plastics for packaging and other products. The team aims to lower production costs, reduce processing waste and create new sources of revenue for dairy farmers.
For the first-ever UC Dialogue Fellows, Amir Saeidi, assistant professor of teaching in materials science and engineering, will help students navigate disagreements to strengthen teamwork and prepare them for professional practice.
Ali Moghimi, associate professor of teaching in biological and agricultural engineering at UC Davis, has been honored for his support of student success with an Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award from NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising.
Sabyasachi Sen, professor and chair of materials science and engineering at UC Davis, is the 2026 recipient of the American Ceramic Society’s George W. Morey Award, which celebrates outstanding, original contributions to glass science and technology.
Biomedical engineers are investigating how cells know when to stick together and when to separate to allow wounds to heal, laying the groundwork for potential treatments for cancer and heart disease. The research is made possible by a more than $3 million award from the NIH.
The UC Davis professor of biomedical engineering and surgery has been elected to the 2026 class of Biomedical Engineering Society Fellows. The honor is reserved for members who demonstrate outstanding achievement and have made significant contributions to the field of biomedical engineering and the BMES community.
Nick Pant joins UC Davis as a new assistant professor of materials science and engineering. He will use computational tools to understand materials at the atomic scale and find new ways to improve the electronic devices that rely on them.
A soft actuator and flexible wings allow a butterfly-sized flying robot co-developed by UC Davis engineer Wenzhong Yan to recover from collisions and crushing, bringing resilient micro-aerial vehicles closer to operating outside the laboratory.
