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.
Among UC Davis’ top honors, these awards recognize and showcase faculty and staff not just for their expertise but also for their impact across campus, mentorship roles, excellence in teaching and overall public service.
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.
Mohsen Habibi has developed a groundbreaking 3D printing technique that uses holographic soundwaves to create structures in seconds from behind a physical barrier. This cutting-edge technique could revolutionize bioprinting, bringing science fiction closer to reality.
UC Davis engineering students take their thermodynamics class to the perfect setting — Iceland. Through field trips to geothermal plants, waterfalls and even an aluminum smelting facility, they see firsthand how engineering harnesses energy while exploring one of the most stunning landscapes on Earth.
As climate change becomes an evermore concerning issue, researchers are working to make carbon capture and storage technologies more accessible, stable and environmentally friendly. See how a team of students is taking on the challenge one cubic foot at a time.
Carney is one of eight faculty members to join this year’s class of Chancellor’s Fellows at the University of California, Davis. The distinction is given to early academics doing exemplary work in their fields.
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.
Professor Yayoi Takamura and her group participated in experiments that show applied voltages can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials, which could lead to energy-efficient methods for controlling magnetism in spintronic devices.
From ignition to spread, Jeanette Cobian-Iñiguez is using mechanical engineering to explore the science behind wildfire behavior, helping improve wildfire prediction, management and communication, especially in multilingual communities. Now at UC Davis, she’s building collaborations and inspiring the next generation of engineers.
