From healthcare innovation to online communication, the associate professor's research in human-computer interaction aims to create effective, user-friendly tools that address complex societal challenges.
Cheemeng Tan and Sean Collins, associate professors at UC Davis, are part of a national effort to develop a novel device for inflammatory bowel disease. The technology will function like a pharmacy inside the body, producing and releasing engineered cells as a real-time response to flare-ups.
Professor of Chemical Engineering Adam Moulé and his lab have developed a novel method of patterning semiconducting polymers, a notoriously difficult material, using existing tools, paving the way for endless possibilities for sensors and optics.
At UC Davis, the chemical engineering Ph.D. student and iCAMP researcher aims to lower the production costs of cultivated meat, making it a sustainable, affordable solution for a global problem.
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.
In collaboration with materials company Homerun Resources, Inc., UC Davis engineering researchers have developed a one-step laser technique that purifies raw silica sand to over 99.99% silica. This is the first step in a multiphase project to create a clean-energy pathway to producing silicon.
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.
A UC Davis study analyzes roasting techniques to provide key insights into the acidity of coffee beans, paving the way for coffee roasters to better control the quality and flavor of their coffee.
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Weijian Yang and his team have developed a new microscopy approach to capture high-speed images of brain cell activity with less harm to brain tissue than previous methods.
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.
