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.
Janet Kwon is a doctoral student driven by research that advances human health and improves the treatment of animals at the same time. We spoke with Kwon to learn more about her organ-on-a-chip research and the significance of pursuing scientific work that is personally fulfilling.
In the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis, a one-of-a-kind hub for vacuum electronic devices allows a community of researchers to build upon the past to discover the future.
Dean Richard L. Corsi sits down with Professor of Computer Science Ian Davidson and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Chen-Nee Chuah to discuss the current and near-future roles of artificial intelligence and its real and anticipated implications for society.
UC Davis researchers have demonstrated an angle etching method for fabricating quantum photonic devices at the wafer scale in silicon carbide. This development has brought within reach the reality of producing quantum nanodevices at scale and, thus, the development of the quantum internet.
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.
Biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Ekaterina Shanina discusses her experience as a first-time conference presenter at the IEEE Medical Imaging Conference, where she received a prestigious award for her research in positron emission tomography.
The College of Engineering alum and staff member discusses her path to engineering, how industry experience prepared her for her current role with the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab and the importance of a strong engineering community for growth and innovation.
Graduate student Xiaoyu Duan shares how her experience at the 2024 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference gave her a fresh perspective on research: discussing ideas with others enriches both the research and the researcher.
Before Judy Chang was overseeing the country's energy transmission as the first Asian American woman Commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, she was an undergraduate engineer walking through Kemper Hall. She talks about laying the groundwork for her career in energy policy and how her love of electronic music brought her to UC Davis.
