Please join us in celebrating the advancement of Dr. Zhi Ding to Distinguished Professor rank.   Consistent with the goal of recognizing outstanding Senate faculty, UC Davis established the title of Distinguished Professor for faculty in the professorial series who have achieved the highest level of scholarship. These are scholars whose work has been internationally recognized and acclaimed and whose teaching performance is excellent. The title Distinguished Professor is the highest campus-level faculty title.   Through the years, Prof.

Jane Gu, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis, has been recognized as a 2019-2020 Chancellor’s Fellow.

This distinction rewards Prof. Amirtharajah’s contributions to the field of electronics design and engineering, particularly for developing integrated circuits and embedded systems that harvest energy from the environment.

He is being recognized for the development of sensors and ultra-fast photodetectors.  

Please join us in congratulating ECE’s Prof. Houman Homayoun and his team for best paper award at 19th IEEE ICDM (International Conference on Data Mining) in Beijing, China.

Technology under development by UC Davis electrical and computer engineering Professor Chen-Nee Chuah potentially can make a direct impact on patients by providing earlier detections, streamlined interventions and better prognoses.

Please join us in congratulating Professor Houman Homayoun and ECE Ph.D. student Gaurav Kolhe and their team.

Professor Chen-Nee Chuah is a co-investigator on $3.5 million NIH grant for five years to develop novel video-based approaches for detection of autism risk in the first year of life.

The ECE Department would like to congratulate Prof. Houman Homayoun under whose lead the multi university project NSF CHEST (National Science Foundation Center for Hardware and Embedded Systems Security and Trust) has attained NSF grant of $750,000 for five years.

We are thrilled to announce two of our ECE faculty -- Professor Jane Gu and Professor Omeed Momeni -- as recipients of an NSF (National Science Foundation) grant up to $500,000 for their collaborative work on the project titled “Energy Efficient (sub)mm-Wave Transceiver Phased Array for High Speed and Secure Wireless Communications.”

The UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering welcomes Dr. Houman Homayoun and Dr. Jeremy Munday upon their appointment as Associate Professor and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, respectively.

Professor Houman Homayoun, a new faculty member at UC Davis ECE Department, was recently awarded the NSF EAGER award: a total of $237,134. 

Please join us in honoring and congratulating our very own Professor John Owens for receiving the 2019 High Performance Graphics Test of Time Award for the most influential paper “Task Management for Irregular-Parallel Workloads on the GPU” from HPG’s 2010 predecessor conferences!

The UC Davis Medal is the highest honor the campus bestows on individuals to recognize and celebrate extraordinary contributions that embody the campus’ Vision of Excellence.

“I’m surprised and thankful, and deeply appreciative of the recognition of my colleagues for the successes we’ve had in our research group. And what an honor to be part of an awards ceremony that recognized so many deserving students!”
