A study published by researchers at Brown University and the Silent Spring Institute has found the Corsi-Rosenthal boxes developed by Dean Richard Corsi to be effective at preventing the spread of additional indoor air pollutants.
A team from Brown University’s School of Public Health, School of Engineering, and Silent Spring Institute analyzed boxes installed at the School of Public Health.
Dean of the College of Engineering Richard Corsi was recently invited by the White House to speak as part of an expert panel at the Summit on Improving Indoor Air Quality on October 11, 2022.
With a new $3.97M project, Chemical Engineering Distinguished Professor Karen McDonald and her team of collaborators will explore the viability of a range of biomanufacturing technologies to produce antigens for rapid COVID-19 serological test kits.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Soheil Ghiasi's lab has built a transabdominal fetal pulse oximeter to measure a baby's blood oxygen saturation levels non-invasively.
With heart disease remaining the number one cause of death in the United States, Chen-Izu lab’s research into heart diseases is as relevant and urgent. The lab’s mission is to translate breakthrough research findings to develop new drug therapies to prevent and treat heart diseases more effectively.
Doctors already rely on a patient’s medical history to prescribe the right treatments and medications, but Computer Science Distinguished Professor Kwan-Liu Ma and Dr. Shin-Ping Tu at the UC Davis School of Medicine think they can also use it to improve how the entire medical system works together.
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Associate Professor Seongkyu Lee’s group will apply their expertise in predicting rotorcraft noise to help industry leader Supernal identify noise sources in their aircraft designs and recommend strategies to reduce it.
Ultra-high temperature ceramic materials can withstand extreme heat loads, which makes them ideal for building hypersonic vehicles and platforms, but they can be difficult to process reliably.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 31% of all baby deliveries in the U.S. were by C-section in 2018. While some C-sections are necessary, any surgery comes with risks. Therefore, both medical professionals and insurance companies would like to avoid unnecessary C-sections.
An interdisciplinary team of UC Davis scientists and plastic and reconstructive surgeons is collaborating to help improve quality of life for patients with upper limb amputations. They are utilizing a novel amputation surgical procedure and smart prosthetics to help patients better control their residual muscles, receive sensory feedback and reduce limb pain.
