Connecting the Dots Between Computer Engineering and AI

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.

New Microscope Offers Faster, High-Resolution Brain Imaging

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.

Outstanding Senior Spotlight: Noah Wagner

After taking an AP physics course in high school, Noah Wagner was inspired to pursue electrical engineering. It is no surprise, then, that Wagner has created a body of work at the University of California, Davis, with a strong gravitational pull.
