On Friday, April 8, UC Davis' electrical and computer engineering (ECE) department's alumni, students, and professors presented groundbreaking research, creative projects, and inspirational stories at the annual UC Davis ECExpo.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. contributed to lab upgrades. The upgrades include construction, audio and visual equipment and acquisition of state-of-the-art test and measurement instrumentation for 32 workbenches.
For the first time in university history, the W.M. Keck Foundation has awarded two research teams at the University of California, Davis, with $1 million each in the same award cycle. One grant will support the creation of new technology for communications and medicine that operates at wavelengths that are not currently utilized. Associate professors Josh Hihath and Sebastian Gomez-Diaz in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are leading the research.
James Nelson, a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Professor Andre Knoesen are developing electronic measurement techniques to study the behavior of yeast cells during the making of wine.
The use of Corsi-Rosenthal boxes and the wireless sensor system monitoring demonstrates the College of Engineering's commitment to the safety of ECE instructional labs. The pivot to increase safety in the labs could not have happened without the unique partnerships across faculty, students and industry.
More than 31% of all baby deliveries in the U.S. were by C-section in 2018. While some C-sections are necessary, any surgery comes with risks. Both medical professionals and insurance companies would like to be able to avoid C-sections when they are not needed.
“When I started working in this field, almost 13 years ago, the THz/mm-wave spectrum was one of the least-tapped frequency bands,” reflects UC Davis electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Omeed Momeni.
As a circuit and system designer Momeni finds this line of work exciting. Many innovative structures and ideas are needed to make circuits operational at that frequency range, and the potential future applications are promising.
UC Davis electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Marina Radulaski earned a OneQuantum award from QuEra Computing. Presented at a ceremony on December 7 at the Q2B conference in Santa Clara, the OneQuantum awards recognize “those who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of global quantum technology.”
Over many years of research, UC Davis electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Saif Islam has developed revolutionary new techniques to construct tiny and sensitive nanostructures for the massively parallel nano-manufacturing of electronics and photonics.
UC Davis electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Neville Luhmann and project scientist Yilun Zhu are carrying out research crucial to the operation of nuclear fusion energy. In particular, they are developing high-speed cameras capable of millimeter-wave imaging.
Two UC Davis Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) postdocs, Soheil Salehi and Matthew Drescher, were recently named 2020 and 2021 Computer Innovation Fellows (CIFellows), respectively, by the Computing Research Association (CRA) and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC).
The Radulaski group at UC Davis' electrical and computer engineering department (ECE) has completed an international project on quantum emitter integration into nanodevices whose results have been published today in Nature Materials in a manuscript entitled Fabrication and nanophotonic waveguide integration of silicon carbide colour centres with preserved spin-optical coherence.
Machine-learning algorithms, while not intended to replace human doctors, can be powerful tools to help process and make sense of patient data. Electrical and computer engineering professor Chen-Nee Chuah and computer science professor Xin Liu are preparing sensors and algorithms to work alongside doctors to treat patients.
UC Davis electrical and computer engineering (ECE) distinguished professor Ben Yoo recently won three grants related to his research into integrated photonics and a fourth related to quantum wrapper networking, which should bring us closer to a quantum Internet.
The first, from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) agency, for $2.4 million, focuses on building silicon electronic photonic integrated circuits in three dimensions to enable artificial intelligence
