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.
Assistant Professor Alexander Gamero-Garrido and Ph.D. student Nishant Acharya, both of computer science, have been selected for the Internet Society’s Pulse Research Fellowship and Mentorship program. Their work aims to enhance internet resilience by analyzing disruptions to critical network hubs and improving global connectivity.
Ilias Tagkopoulos, director of the AI Institute for Next-Generation Food Systems at UC Davis, is harnessing AI to revolutionize food and health. From mapping food chemistry to optimizing sustainable production, his research aims to create smarter, healthier and more accessible nutrition for all.
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.
In March 2022 the College of Engineering launched the Next Level Research Startup awards to support bold ideas in alignment with our research strategic vision.
As climate change becomes an evermore concerning issue, researchers are working to make carbon capture and storage technologies more accessible, stable and environmentally friendly. See how a team of students is taking on the challenge one cubic foot at a time.
UC Davis researchers, including Dean of the College of Engineering Richard Corsi, are tackling indoor air quality — an often-overlooked factor in health and productivity. From ventilation strategies to airborne disease transmission, their work is shaping cleaner, healthier indoor spaces in homes, schools and workplaces.
Professor Yayoi Takamura and her group participated in experiments that show applied voltages can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials, which could lead to energy-efficient methods for controlling magnetism in spintronic devices.
At UC Davis, undergraduate student Amelia Lipcsei tackles real-world challenges through hands-on research with aerogels. With a vision for improving public transportation, she hopes to build a future where engineering meets sustainability.
From ignition to spread, Jeanette Cobian-Iñiguez is using mechanical engineering to explore the science behind wildfire behavior, helping improve wildfire prediction, management and communication, especially in multilingual communities. Now at UC Davis, she’s building collaborations and inspiring the next generation of engineers.
