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.
Neville C. Luhmann Jr., a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Davis, and a towering figure in the fields of plasma physics and vacuum electronics, died on Sept. 5, 2025. He was 82.
A multilayer film that reflects heat while letting through light needed for photosynthesis could make greenhouse agriculture more energy- and water-efficient. Such a film has been developed by engineers at the University of California, Davis, and is described in a recent paper in Advanced Energy & Sustainability Research.
This month’s Face to Face With Chancellor May features Splash Tech, a forward-thinking startup tackling one of the most overlooked problems in home maintenance: swimming pool chemical management. The company grew out of a senior design project from electrical and computer engineering students at UC Davis.
Comstock’s Magazine highlights The Make Box, an education startup founded by UC Davis electrical and computer engineering alum Kavya Khare, as this month’s promising startup from California’s Capital Region.
Electrical and computer engineering professors lead an educational program at the University of California, Davis, rethinking STEM education from kindergarten to college through a focus on experiential learning and workforce development opportunities in semiconductor technologies, information systems and data science.
Two teams of electrical and computer engineering students have received top honors for their work at hackathons during the 2025 Design Automation Conference, the leading global conference for chips to systems research.
Thomas Liang has received the M.S. Poster Award from the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for his innovative work on a wearable and affordable at-home diagnostic tool for sleep apnea.
For an implantable device improving outcomes of rotator cuff surgery and an IoT waste sorting system, two undergraduate engineering teams have received the Sandia Engineering Design Award for their senior design projects at UC Davis.
As researchers continue to shrink the size of mechanical devices, controlling the Casimir force has become the first priority. At UC Davis, Calum Shelden, a Ph.D. candidate in electrical and computer engineering, is beginning groundbreaking experimentation to test the theories.
