Neurons are fundamental units of computation in the brain. A central tenet of the neuron doctrine is that neurons are specialized to perform specific functions.
During NASA internships, three graduates of the mechanical and aerospace engineering department at UC Davis contributed their knowledge and skills to the development of a new tool that quantifies battery failure and won the organization's 2023 Commercial Invention of the Year award.
As Rachita Rana says farewell to the chemical engineering department, the fifth-year Ph.D. student reflects on her research at UC Davis and the tools and lessons she will take with her.
Toluwanimi Odemuyiwa is one of ten doctoral students to receive the 2024-2025 NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship. The award includes a scholarship of up to $60,000 to support innovative research that may lead to major advances in accelerated computing.
To investigate the structures and dynamics of catalytic and biological processes at an atomic level, computer simulations can be useful since they can serve as a computational microscope.
The Oroville Dam in California is the largest embankment dam in the United States and is primarily operated for water supply, hydroelectric power generation and flood control.
The State Water Project (SWP) is a multi-purpose water storage and delivery system that delivers water to 27 million Californians, 750,000 acres of farmland, and businesses throughout California. The SWP's water supply depends on various hydrologic, operational, and regulatory variables.
Chemical engineering researchers at UC Davis could make exploring treatments for cancer, viruses and neurodegenerative disorders more efficient with a new approach to pairing imaging techniques and analysis.
