The path to a world without dementia starts with a brain tissue sample. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, are developing AI-driven tools to analyze vast digital archives of brain tissue scans — work that cannot be done at scale by humans alone — to better understand dementia and improve diagnosis and treatment.
The University of California, Davis, has been selected as a core member of the Pacific Intermountain Network for Education in Semiconductors, a regional node of the National Network for Microelectronics Education, or NNME, designed to strengthen and scale the semiconductor workforce across the western United States.
For innovative research on chips that can sustain high speeds without sacrificing power or signal amplification, a feat necessary for realizing the wireless networks of tomorrow, Phat Nguyen has received the Zuhair A. Munir Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation in Engineering at UC Davis.
Electrical and computer engineers at UC Davis have theoretically demonstrated a thermophotovoltaic system, a renewable energy method whereby heat is turned into electricity, that can achieve a power conversion efficiency rate of 50%, more than double that of commercially available solar cells.
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Marina Radulaski and Associate Professor of Computer Science Mohammad Sadoghi are among this year’s class of Chancellor’s Fellows at the University of California, Davis. The distinction is given to early academics doing exemplary work in their fields.
In 2016, Aggie Engineers set the stage with a groundbreaking paper on the methodical implementation of deep convolutional neural networks. Now, one of the world’s largest international conferences on silicon semiconductor research, ASP-DAC, is recognizing the paper as the most influential article published over the last decade.
A recent study led by electrical and computer engineers at UC Davis, and reported in Advanced Photonics, has demonstrated that the power of a spectrometer can be replicated on a microscopic chip. This innovation paves the way for next-generation medical diagnostics and agricultural and environmental remote sensing.
Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention could be used, for example, to ventilate greenhouses or other buildings.
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.
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.
