Two teams of researchers led by Marina Radulaski, assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, recently won University of California grants that promise to give scientists a better understanding of quantum information sciences—a rapidly-emerging technology that stands to transform the way society interacts with computers and technology.
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Jeremy Munday recently received a $2.2 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to deepen our understanding of the quantum forces at work in nanotechnology.
Assistant professors Marina Radulaski and William Putnam, both electrical and computer engineers recognized in 2021 with CAREER awards from the National Science Foundation, have been using these prestigious grants to educate and inspire new generations of researchers.
Assistant Professor William “Billy” Putnam joined the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in November 2018. His area of research is in optics and photonics. Specifically, he works on understanding and controlling electron and photon interactions at ultrafast timescales and ultrasmall spatial dimensions.
