Inspired by the farming communities where he grew up, electrical and computer engineering undergraduate Luis Blas developed an AI-powered platform that assesses crop quality in real time.
Nick Pant joins UC Davis as a new assistant professor of materials science and engineering. He will use computational tools to understand materials at the atomic scale and find new ways to improve the electronic devices that rely on them.
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 engineers Isaac Kim and Mingwei Zhang were among the recipients of the inaugural awards granted through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission — a national program leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, discovery science and national security.
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.
UC Davis undergraduate teams captured three of four major awards in the 2025-26 CITRIS Aviation Prize, developing innovative software and simulation tools to support California’s future advanced air mobility network and electric air taxi transportation systems.
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.
What if you could talk Shakespeare’s Macbeth out of violence? A new UC Davis-developed game lets players do just that, using AI to simulate dialogue and teach real-world conflict de-escalation skills through interactive storytelling rooted in some of the greatest dramas in the English language.
Premkumar Devanbu has been elected a Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea for his extensive record of award-winning and influential contributions and long-term collaboration with European institutions. His research focuses on the impact of large language models on software development.
Climate models generate billions of data points, and traditional analysis methods can't keep up. UC Davis Ph.D. student Yuya Kawakami developed ClimateSOM, an interactive visualization tool that helps scientists explore thousands of climate futures and uncover patterns that current methods can miss.
