Since 1874, the American Association for the Advancement of Science honors researchers who have made significant contributions to science by electing them as fellows each year.
Each month, UC Davis will profile faculty members in their Among the Academies series to honor their contributions to scientific research and knowledge. This month, they featured Bruce Gates, professor of chemical engineering, who has been with UC Davis Since 1992.
Authoritarian regimes exert control over the internet through transit networks that operate largely out of public view, according to a recent study by researchers in the U.S. and Germany. The work, published in PNAS Nexus, also shows how more sophisticated authoritarian regimes extend their influence by providing network access in poorer but politically similar countries.
The NSF has recognized Mitrović with the prestigious early faculty award. The assistant professor of computer science designs algorithms to efficiently solve tasks on large networks with data distributed across multiple machines and data centers.
As artificial intelligence gains momentum, University of California researchers are identifying discrimination in the algorithms that are shaping our society, devising solutions, and helping build a future where computers do us less harm and more good.
Researchers at the UC Davis Coffee Center in the College of Engineering, through a partnership with cloud service provider Fabscale, have engineered a new way to analyze coffee for quality control, at a low cost. Their new photo-based app Roastpic is launching on April 12 to give anyone with a smartphone a better picture of the quality of their coffee beans.
Gozde Goncu-Berk, an associate professor of design at the University of California, Davis, is forging partnerships with professors from the College of Engineering to realize innovative research in wearable technology.
The State of California, through the University of California Office of the President, has granted $1 million for the Aggie Climate Action for Equity (ACE) initiative to enable the transition of early-stage climate-based projects to the next phase of tangible development.
When it comes to innovating within applied electromagnetics, Assistant Professor William "Billy" Putnam has found that the best way to move forward is to look toward the past.
Each month, UC Davis will profile faculty members in their Among the Academies series to honor their contributions to scientific research and knowledge. This month, they featured Jennifer Sinclair Curtis, who served as Dean of the College of Engineering from 2015-2020.
