Thermoradiative Photovoltaics

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.

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.

AI Is

Researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are pushing the possibilities of artificial intelligence. They’re exploring the furthest limits of neural network design and are creating next-generation advancements in medicine that are transforming patient care.

Breaking Down the Gut-Brain Divide

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, are taking the phrase “follow your gut” to a whole new level: They’re creating microfluidic technology that can map out and probe the neural pathways that form the gut-brain axis for the first time.

AAAS Elects Chen-Nee Chuah as Fellow

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.

Across the Spectrum

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.
