From game nights to university committees, Doreen Joseph, a computer science Ph.D. candidate, fosters belonging and support for underrepresented students, shaping a more inclusive academic experience. Learn how she’s driving change at UC Davis.
Each year, nearly 1 million people worldwide are diagnosed with head and neck cancer, with many losing their ability to speak intelligibly due to treatment. UC Davis researchers are working to restore their lost voices with adaptive technology.
As the first academic research facility in the U.S. dedicated to coffee, the UC Davis Coffee Center is brewing up serious science. From roasting chemistry to flavor perception, Professor Bill Ristenpart talks with Atlas Obscura about the center’s mission to uncover what makes the perfect cup.
Janet Kwon is a doctoral student driven by research that advances human health and improves the treatment of animals at the same time. We spoke with Kwon to learn more about her organ-on-a-chip research and the significance of pursuing scientific work that is personally fulfilling.
A few miles southeast of Downtown Sacramento, amidst world-class hospitals, research buildings and teaching facilities, biomedical engineers are helping shape the future of research, scholarship and entrepreneurship at UC Davis.
UC Davis researchers have demonstrated an angle etching method for fabricating quantum photonic devices at the wafer scale in silicon carbide. This development has brought within reach the reality of producing quantum nanodevices at scale and, thus, the development of the quantum internet.
