With three decades of experience in wireless communications, new adjunct professor Jin Yang discusses how she aims to bridge industry and academia while preparing students to lead the next generation of wireless innovation in this Q&A.
Inspired by the farming communities where he grew up, electrical and computer engineering undergraduate Luis Blas developed an AI-powered platform that assesses crop quality in real time.
Electrical engineering major and men’s water polo captain Tim Kerr finds energy in pursuing both of his passions, bringing curiosity, perseverance and a sense of fun to the lab, the pool and whatever comes next.
Nathan Gonzalez, a student studying scalable quantum technologies in the College of Engineering, has received a UC Noyce Graduate Student Fellowship for outstanding doctoral research. The program supports doctoral students at the forefront of computational health, quantum information science and cybersecurity.
The department is saddened to announce the passing of Professor Emeritus Bill Gardner, a pioneering scholar whose groundbreaking research, mentorship and dedication to education have left a lasting impact at UC Davis and on the field worldwide.
In a new study published in Nature Communications, UC Davis researchers detail an infrared sensor that excels above freezing temperatures. The sensor combines a membrane-based design and radio frequencies to increase performance, detecting signals as low as 740 picowatts in room temperature environments.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has honored graduate and undergraduate students with awards and scholarships, celebrating excellence in academics, leadership, research and more.
Research led by a UC Davis Ph.D. student shows that AI models can maintain response quality while using far less energy on existing hardware. The work received the Best Paper Award at MLSys 2026, a leading machine learning and AI systems conference.
Researchers found that the structure and composition of materials can dramatically increase how often fusion happens at low energies. With a better understanding of the mechanism behind that effect, we may eventually be able to design materials that improve neutron sources or other fusion-based technologies.
