With a Seed Grant for International Activities from UC Davis Global Affairs, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Yayoi Takamura is collaborating with researchers from Chile to use plasma-enhanced pulsed laser deposition to synthesize and characterize thin films for sustainable energy technologies.
Alumna Anna Shelyug studies materials from a thermodynamic perspective, a pursuit that was strengthened during her time conducting research at the University of California, Davis. Once curious about the workings of the world as a child, now she uncovers answers for herself.
Tanaya Sahoo, a second-year international graduate student in the materials science and engineering master's program, aims to deploy advanced, sustainable technologies to solve real-world problems.
Two Ph.D. candidates in materials science and engineering at UC Davis will reside at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to conduct research as part of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Program.
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Scott McCormack is part of a multi-university team awarded $7.5 million over five years from the Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative, or MURI, program.
Through teaching, mentorship and outreach, the assistant professor champions accessible materials science education, emphasizing real-world connections and hands-on experiments to inspire future scientists.
In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, the University of California, Davis, College of Engineering recognizes women in engineering, their journey to and in the field, and how they promote a diverse, equitable and inclusive world.
Meet some remarkable women in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and learn how they inspire inclusion in engineering.
As editors and members of editorial boards for academic journals, materials science and engineering professors at UC Davis are contributing their expertise and knowledge to influence the field and stay on trend with the newest, cutting-edge research.
New research published in Physical Review Letters shows how an experiment with lasers and magnets resulted in the domain walls within ferromagnetic layers moving at previously unheard-of speeds, paving the way for more sustainable and energy-efficient data storage.
Equatic, co-founded by UC Davis materials science engineer Erika La Plante, was recognized for its cutting-edge technology that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and creates hydrogen, a clean energy alternative.
