From fire-detecting drone swarms to optimally efficient human-autonomy collaboration, the UC Davis mechanical and aerospace engineering professor and a principal investigator at CITRIS uses complex technological systems to address complex challenges.
The UC Davis College of Engineering has established a new center focused on artificial intelligence, or AI. The UC Davis AI Center in Engineering will work to leverage AI for the betterment of humanity and the planet through advancements in foundational research, translational applications and educational efforts.
The biological and agricultural engineering researcher speaks with International Comunicaffe about the role of technologies like AI and sensors in revolutionizing coffee research, enhancing sustainability and addressing global challenges in coffee production and processing.
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia. AFib is the most common type of heart arrhythmia and predisposes patients to an increased risk of stroke. It has a significant global impact — affecting nearly 40 million individuals worldwide and over 6 million in the United States.
Anthony Thomas, a new assistant professor of teaching in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Davis, wants to help students understand the fundamental principles, from computer hardware to mathematical theories, that underpin artificial intelligence.
From electrifying off-road vehicles to finding a pathway to advanced decision-making in autonomous vehicles, the assistant professor is working on some serious vehicular upgrades starting with the foundation: control systems.
Autonomous vehicles can struggle when confronted with unforeseen events, such as a car driving on the wrong side of the road. To address this issue, Professor Junshan Zhang is rethinking how researchers design AVs by letting the machine learning models train themselves.
Technologies like ChatGPT have brought the potential of artificial intelligence into public awareness unlike ever before. In the College of Engineering, researchers show all that AI can and can be by pushing the boundaries of its foundational design and use in medicine and agriculture.
Halfway through their four-year challenge to design and customize a next-generation electric vehicle, the student-led UC Davis EcoCAR team is at full throttle.
Robots. Laundry. Emergency care. At the University of California, Davis, Center for Spaceflight Research, these topics and more are investigated as they relate to human spaceflight. The multidisciplinary research center is poised to become the preeminent resource for human spaceflight engineering research in the U.S.
