What if you could talk Shakespeare’s Macbeth out of violence? A new UC Davis-developed game lets players do just that, using AI to simulate dialogue and teach real-world conflict de-escalation skills through interactive storytelling rooted in some of the greatest dramas in the English language.
A computational program trained on U.S. meal records identified simple food substitutions that improve nutritional quality and lower costs, according to a new study led by UC Davis computer scientists.
Computer science senior Reina Itakura found community and purpose through competitive programming at UC Davis. From organizing coding competitions to qualifying for the ICPC North America Championship, Itakura developed a passion for theoretical computer science and collaborative problem-solving.
For Ethan Ng, cybersecurity became more than coding and competition. Through leading the Cyber Security Club at UC Davis, he built spaces for students to learn, collaborate and explore practical computer security skills while shaping his own future in the field.
Premkumar Devanbu has been elected a Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea for his extensive record of award-winning and influential contributions and long-term collaboration with European institutions. His research focuses on the impact of large language models on software development.
Climate models generate billions of data points, and traditional analysis methods can't keep up. UC Davis Ph.D. student Yuya Kawakami developed ClimateSOM, an interactive visualization tool that helps scientists explore thousands of climate futures and uncover patterns that current methods can miss.
Three College of Engineering undergraduate students recount their journeys majoring in CS, CE and CSE, detailing defining coursework, future career paths and plans.
Viet-Thy Tran is a computer science major who is also key to the success of the UC Davis women’s soccer team. No matter the pressure of the game, her classes or her future career as a computer programmer, Tran is prepared to take her shot at every opportunity.
Members of Aggie Sports Analytics and AggieWorks aren’t just learning to code — they are creating tools to better their campus community, whether it’s tracking UC Davis athlete performance or connecting students seeking roommates, carpools and classes.
Associate Professor of Computer Science Mohammad Sadoghi investigates the concept of consensus from moral, ethical, epistemological, theological and societal perspectives in the book, The Problems of Consensus: An Ethical Inquiry into Democratic and Decentralized Principles.
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Marina Radulaski and Associate Professor of Computer Science Mohammad Sadoghi are among this year’s class of Chancellor’s Fellows at the University of California, Davis. The distinction is given to early academics doing exemplary work in their fields.
Kim, an assistant professor of computer science, has been named a 2026 Sloan Research Fellow by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The two-year, $75,000 fellowship will support his work on understanding quantum entanglement of multiple particles, a key step in developing quantum computers.
What if a smartphone could see what the human eye misses? A new UC Davis-designed app uses machine learning to track subtle hand movements during stroke rehabilitation, giving clinicians more specific data to assess recovery and tailor patient care.
Sortify is a tech business emerging out of UC Davis, co-founded by Agarwal and fellow students Yash Nadge and Yahya Habibi. The idea is simple: attach a small camera to disposal bins that alert individuals where a piece of trash is supposed to go. Powered by AI, these cameras will either use voice, a screen or lights to signal proper disposal.
What if your next STEM teacher were an AI agent in virtual reality? UC Davis computer scientist Michael Neff combines movement science, gesture modeling and deep learning to create lifelike digital instructors — paving the way for more human embodied learning experiences.
