A new chatbot developed by UC Davis researchers will help the public and industry identify, manage and treat weeds thanks to a robust set of training data, including papers, books and journals on invasive plants.
Assistant Professor Yi Wang is part of a new NSF-funded engineering research center using biomanufacturing as a means to shift the manufacturing industry toward zero or negative emissions by converting carbon dioxide into environmentally friendly chemicals and products.
Biological systems engineering master's student Willian Klippel-Huber hopes to take what he learns in his research at the UC Davis Coffee Center back to help his home community in Brazil, where he grew up on a coffee farm.
Extreme weather spurred by climate change, including droughts and heavy rains, may increase the risk of nitrates from fertilizers ending up in groundwater, according to a recent study from researchers at the University of California, Davis. The study found heavy rains after a drought caused nitrates to seep 33 feet under farm fields in as little as 10 days.
The biological and agricultural engineering researcher speaks with International Comunicaffe about the role of technologies like AI and sensors in revolutionizing coffee research, enhancing sustainability and addressing global challenges in coffee production and processing.
As a new assistant professor of teaching in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at the University of California, Davis, Vivian Vuong aims to establish a curriculum that balances engineering expertise with human-centered design principles.
A UC Davis study analyzes roasting techniques to provide key insights into the acidity of coffee beans, paving the way for coffee roasters to better control the quality and flavor of their coffee.
An accessible mosquito repellant device and an updated military aircraft earn the 2024 Sandia Engineering Design Award during the UC Davis College of Engineering Design Showcase.
The State of California, through the University of California Office of the President, has granted $1 million for the Aggie Climate Action for Equity (ACE) initiative to enable the transition of early-stage climate-based projects to the next phase of tangible development.
