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.
The Cyber Security Club at UC Davis will compete for the crown of top network protector in the western region, while hosting workshops, speakers and competitions of their own to connect students with skills in system defense.
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 Computer Science, and learn how they inspire inclusion in engineering.
As machine learning and artificial intelligence become more involved with decision-making, Professor Ian Davidson is on a quest to integrate fairness into human-AI systems.
The assistant professor of computer science aims to develop novel methods that can predict the properties of quantum mechanical systems, a challenge for classical computers, with this early faculty award.

A multidisciplinary research team in communication and computer science at the University of California, Davis, performed a systematic audit of YouTube’s video recommendations in 2021 and 2022. They tested how a person’s ideological leaning might affect what videos YouTube’s algorithms recommend to them.
UC Davis computer science major Ashwin Chembu collaborated with fellow UC students to develop Echo, an app that uses biometric information to authenticate identities online. The app took first prize in the Interactive Media track at HackMIT 2023.
