As silicon-based computing approaches its limits, materials science and engineering researcher Seung Sae Hong is studying oxide membranes, an emerging material platform with unusual electronic properties that could power more energy-efficient electronics and future computing technologies.
At UC Davis, graduating seniors in materials science and engineering spend their final year solving real problems for professional sponsors, emerging with the hands-on skills, mentorship and workplace-ready experience that traditional coursework rarely provides.
New types of semiconductor devices that respond to light could be possible using materials called perovskites, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work shows that halide perovskite crystals reversibly change shape when exposed to light.
Magnetism is essential for computing technologies like magnetic hard drives, memory and spintronics. With two recent research breakthroughs, Associate Professor Roopali Kukreja shines the light on how magnets provide a pathway to next-gen computing.
Selected by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, the award supports the professional development of promising early-career researchers in structural materials.
Professor Yayoi Takamura’s lab has been named this year’s winner of the Grand Prize for Lab Safety at UC Davis. Undergraduate Lab Manager Bill Doering was also recognized with this quarter’s Safety Star.
The organization recognizes Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering Subhash Risbud with its highest honor for his prolific contributions to the ceramic and glass fields as a scientist and educator.
Professor Sabyasachi Sen is the next chair of the UC Davis Department of Materials Science and Engineering. A leader in the field of glass science, Sen looks forward to fostering a collaborative research environment and strengthening partnerships across the college and university.
Each year, the College of Engineering celebrates outstanding faculty with awards that recognize their dedication to ensuring the future of engineering through teaching and research.
