From bioengineering and medical device development, the next chapter of UC Davis' innovation story is set to unfold at Aggie Square. Here is a look at three innovative teams and programs connected to the College of Engineering that are getting ready to call it home.
A UC Davis team is combining muscle bulge and electrical signals to make prosthetic hands smarter and more natural. With 97% gesture accuracy, their EMG-FMG fusion could be a game-changer for prosthetics, robotics and virtual reality control.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a fast and cost-effective microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
UC Davis engineering researcher Cristina Davis and UC Davis Health scientists used breath analysis to uncover how smoking, vaping and marijuana affect lung inflammation. Their findings reveal unique biological markers for each substance, offering a noninvasive tool to monitor airway health.
Dateline UC Davis sat down with Tech Foundry Director Steven Lucero about the development facility’s focus and how a second location at Aggie Square will open new possibilities.
Working with a team of researchers at the University of Michigan, the computer science undergraduate will survey her engineering peers to learn more about their mental health to help drive the national conversation about wellness in engineering.
UC Davis researchers have developed low-cost, portable sensors to help California communities detect harmful air pollutants. Their goal is to provide real-time data on toxic metals, empowering residents and regulators to identify pollution sources and push for cleaner air.
Dean Corsi and his team have tested the durability and effectiveness of his codesigned Corsi-Rosenthal Box, a low-cost DIY filter that removes harmful air particles from wildfire smoke and indoor air pollutants. He’ll share his team’s new findings at the ACS Spring 2025 Spring Digital Meeting.
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.
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.
