The associate professor of computer science is among just five researchers from across the nation to have received the award in support of foundational AI research. Huang aims to give AI agents a way to adapt mid-workflow and prove their plans are safe before acting.
UC Davis researcher Mingwei Zhang will use an NSF CAREER Award to connect atomic arrangements in complex alloys to their mechanical properties, advancing materials for aerospace, energy and other extreme environments.
The UCPRC turns research data into tools and practices used to improve California’s roads. Somayeh Nassiri, the center’s new director, is driven to advance the state’s leadership in pavement innovation and collaborating with transportation agencies across the nation.
Led by the UC Davis Department of Computer Science, the AI for Health Initiative will connect researchers and clinicians across disciplines to advance responsible AI use in medicine, support student training and strengthen partnerships with UC Davis Health.
UC Davis researcher Rich Whittle joined an international team aboard a parabolic flight to study how microgravity affects blood flow to protect astronauts during long-duration space missions.
A new study from UC Davis materials science and engineering researchers shows how combining AI with laboratory experiments could speed up the development of more durable, stable materials, ultimately leading to reliable, low-cost solar energy technologies.
The Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering will be led by incoming chairs Sanjeevi Sivasankar and Vinod Narayanan, respectively.
Concrete, the second-most-used material in the world, after water, requires significant resources for its production. A study in the journal Nature Sustainability from UC Davis researchers shows that global concrete production requires far more resources than previously estimated.
UC Davis researchers have received a nearly $4 million grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to develop the world’s first standardized method for measuring and describing the neurotoxicity of nanoplastics inhaled as part of air pollution.
UC Davis researchers found that red-tailed hawks adjust their wing and tail movements during molt to maintain flight performance despite missing feathers. The findings could improve wildlife rehabilitation practices and inspire more resilient drones and uncrewed aerial vehicles.
