Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite leads a team of UC Davis researchers in an AI-driven project to build foundational knowledge of halide perovskites, a promising material for solar cells.
After seeing the gaps in robotics in the automotive industry, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Iman Soltani is teaching robots to adjust their sight line using active vision and machine learning, hoping to push robotics one step closer to widespread adoption.
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and his lab have demonstrated a method for controlling the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical effect that draws small objects toward each other. The force can be so strong as to tear components inside a device apart.
The University of California has awarded nearly $6 million in state funding to eight research teams co-led by a UC researcher and a state firefighter to find out why cancer rates are so high among their ranks and help design possible solutions.
As a multidisciplinary hub for innovative research and unique educational experiences, the Coffee Center in the College of Engineering collaborates with the $28 billion U.S. coffee industry to tackle key challenges in sustainable farming, roasting, brewing and more.
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.
