Clinicians and engineers at the University of California, Davis, are collaborating on AI-driven tools to analyze vast digital archives of brain tissue scans — work that cannot be done at scale by humans alone — to better understand dementia and improve diagnosis and treatment.
Chemical engineering graduate student success gains momentum with an investment by UC Davis alum Howard Stone and his wife, Valerie, to renovate graduate student office space and establish an endowment supporting collaboration and research.
As silicon-based computing approaches its limits, materials science and engineering researcher Seung Sae Hong is studying oxide membranes, an emerging material platform with unusual electronic properties that could power more energy-efficient electronics and future computing technologies.
The University of California, Davis, has been selected as a core member of the Pacific Intermountain Network for Education in Semiconductors, a regional node of the National Network for Microelectronics Education, or NNME, designed to strengthen and scale the semiconductor workforce across the western United States.
The Royal Society, the oldest continually operating scientific academy in the world, has elected Simon R. Cherry, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of biomedical engineering and radiology at the University of California, Davis, to the level of fellow.
White and rosé wines can turn cloudy due to protein instability, requiring time-consuming bentonite clay treatment. UC Davis chemical engineers are developing a faster, reusable resin-based method that reduces waste, minimizes wine loss and could transform how winemakers stabilize wines.
The Center for Animal Locomotion and Innovation hosted a grand opening ceremony at its UC Davis location in May. The afternoon event featured interactive research displays, technology demonstrations and meet-and-greets with experts (and their birds).
Farzaneh Khorsandi, associate professor of cooperative extension in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, has been recognized for her groundbreaking work improving agricultural safety through engineering innovations, AI-driven approaches and advancements in ATV and machinery safety.
The UC Davis College of Engineering honors four faculty members for excellence in teaching and research, recognizing innovations in engineering education, aerospace design, materials discovery and network science with outstanding faculty awards.
With cocoa crops increasingly threatened by climate change, UC Davis engineers are helping develop cultured chocolate grown directly from plant cells. The burgeoning technology could transform how chocolate is produced while making the treat more sustainable and resilient.
