SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has elected Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday to the status of fellow, following his promotion to senior member in 2023.
Professor Saif Islam will translate groundbreaking cybersecurity research into a viable commercial solution, thanks to a new award from the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute, launched in partnership with the Academic Innovation Catalyst.
The National Academy of Inventors has elected Junshan Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, as a fellow. The fellowship is the highest professional distinction awarded solely to inventors.
The University of California, Davis will be part of a new, $285 million nationwide institute dedicated to advancing research and manufacturing of American semiconductors.
Renetta Garrison Tull, vice chancellor of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University of California, Davis, has been elected president of the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI). Her term will begin on January 1, 2025.
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and his lab have demonstrated a method for controlling the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical effect that draws small objects toward each other. The force can be so strong as to tear components inside a device apart.
Researchers in the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offer insights on devices that operate like solar cells in reverse and can generate power even in the absence of sunlight, offering an alternative route for energy production.
Islam will focus on furthering the department's position as a national leader uniquely positioned to meet the challenges of the nation's CHIPS and Science Act, which seeks to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing by up to 50%.
More than 7,500 miles separate Nepal and the University of California, Davis. That distance becomes imperceptible in a lab at Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu, the country's capital.
The honor from UC Davis Graduate Studies celebrates the associate professor of electrical and computer engineering work to ensure the academic success, professional development and personal well-being of graduate students.
Anthony Thomas, a new assistant professor of teaching in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Davis, wants to help students understand the fundamental principles, from computer hardware to mathematical theories, that underpin artificial intelligence.
Researchers at UC Davis have developed a new microscope to capture high-speed images of brain cell activity with less harm to brain tissue. The new approach could be used in research with mice to provide a clearer view of how neurons communicate in real time, leading to new insights into brain function and neurological diseases.
Autonomous vehicles can struggle when confronted with unforeseen events, such as a car driving on the wrong side of the road. To address this issue, Professor Junshan Zhang is rethinking how researchers design AVs by letting the machine learning models train themselves.
Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Hyoyoung Jeong explores the use of wireless wearable devices for health monitoring. Jeong believes the technology can offer a more practical and economical option for health management compared to current hospital-bound machinery.
A luminary in control systems engineering, Mayne's legacy encompasses distinguished scholarship, pioneering research and dedicated mentorship. He was a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from 1989 to 1996.
