At the inaugural AI Innovation Showcase and Prem Jain Symposium, hosted by the UC Davis College of Engineering, faculty, students, alumni and industry partners explored cutting-edge research, startups and programs, emphasizing the importance of collaboration to advance AI.
At LBNL’s mechanical engineering summer internship, undergraduate student Jack Hervey learned how much he enjoys the hands-on aspects of engineering, from modeling support structures to vibration testing, which involves hitting things with a sledgehammer.
New co-directors of UC Davis’ AHMCT, Shima Nazari and Iman Soltani, will expand on implementing automation, electrification and AI technologies with Caltrans — building on a 30-year legacy of collaboration, mentorship and smarter transportation solutions.
Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Seongkyu Lee will contribute to the $9 million South Korea-based center with his expertise in high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics. His group will be the first to investigate and predict mid- and high-frequency tonal and broadband noise emitted from UAM vehicles.
ResearchQuest.ai is a new AI agent that scours academic papers for anything related to the query. The new tool, built by student researchers through E-SEARCH, could cut down a literature review from months to minutes.
The Faculty Fellows Program has selected Assistant Professor Surl-Hee (Shirley) Ahn and Associate Professor Jiandi Wan, who will collaborate with investigators at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on research and workforce development in the fields of energy resilience and battery technology.
With a quick leaf scan, the AI-powered Leaf Monitor delivers real-time nutrient insights for crops. By replacing weeks-long lab tests, the new tool, developed by UC Davis engineers, can help farmers boost yields, cut fertilizer waste and manage fields with precision and sustainability.
UC Davis Ph.D. candidate Nicole O’Shea is forging new discoveries in ternary metal alloys through a fellowship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, while also cultivating community on campus and inspiring peers in the collaborative materials science field.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have been awarded a $3 million National Science Foundation grant to develop new technologies and workforce training programs to grow plants in low-resource environments both on Earth and in space.
UC Davis researchers have created a miniaturized microscope for real-time, high-resolution imaging of brain activity in mice. The device is a significant step toward revolutionizing how neuroscientists study behavior and perception in the brain.
