Using an innovative process, engineers at UC Davis are growing “myco-foods” — small balls of edible fungi that can be processed into products like boba and lab-grown caviar with a wide range of textures, colors and flavors.
After Dean Richard Corsi’s recent participation on a panel at the White House, don’t be surprised if you hear the current occupants followed the dean’s lead and built a Corsi-Rosenthal box for cleaner air in their home, like a lot of people have done during the pandemic.
Richard Corsi's concept of a low-cost and effective do-it-yourself air cleaner to combat virus-laden aerosol particles and wildfire smoke has become known worldwide as the Corsi-Rosenthal Box. Corsi, dean of the College of Engineering, shares his thoughts on community-engaged research.
When Dr. Richard Corsi floated an idea on Twitter for a highly effective, inexpensive, DIY air purifier to help lower the risk of Covid, his light-bulb moment went viral in the best possible way.
Biological Systems Engineering Ph.D. student Alice Dien was this year’s winner of the UC Davis Grad Slam, a Public Scholarship and Engagement (PSE) co-sponsored event that occurred on April 6. Dien’s winning research presentation “Cooling Down with the New Hot Air: The Future of Drying in Agriculture” earned her a $2,500 prize for first place, as well as the PSE’s Public Impact Prize.
Public Scholarship and Engagement is proud to announce the inaugural cohort of UC Davis graduate students who were accepted into the competitive Public Scholars for the Future fellowship.
Biological systems engineering Ph.D. student Alice Dien won the 2022 UC Davis Grad Slam with her 2-minute, 54-second presentation on her research into a new, sustainable way of drying food, “Cooling Down With the New Hot Air: The Future of Drying in Agriculture.”
For the first time in university history, the W.M. Keck Foundation has awarded two research teams at the University of California, Davis, with $1 million each in the same award cycle.
The halls just outside the Leadership in Engineering Advancement Diversity and Retention (LEADR) Student Center in Kemper Hall radiated with energy and creativity. During a friendly design competition, held on February 15, undergraduate engineering student teams gathered to build Corsi-Rosenthal air filters.
