The College of Engineering Next Level Research Awards fund near-term research, conferences, symposia and planning for bold ideas that align with our strategic research vision. Funded projects are interdisciplinary, have the potential to advance national leadership and secure extramural funding, and articulate clear near-, mid-, and long-term goals.

Another round of funding will be available in 2024. A request for proposals will be announced in spring quarter.

Fashion is a powerful tool to express ourselves and our relationship to others. Wearable technology pushes that even further, advancing the human body’s potential through non-invasive augmentation of our abilities, from enabling us to communicate with devices with facial gestures to keeping track of our vital signs. Here are four intelligent wearables woven into reality by researchers in the College of Engineering.

My name is Greg Disse, and I am a third-year medical student in the UC Davis MD/PhD program. A few weeks ago, I completed my PhD in Neuroscience where, under the mentorship of Dr. Karen Moxon, I analyzed neural signals generated by populations of neurons in the cerebral cortex during movement and investigated how those signals change after spinal cord injury.

(SACRAMENTO) A new study by UC Davis Health researchers reveals that a new technology for three-dimensional (3D) movement analysis may have widespread use in health clinics and the community. Known as markerless motion capture (MLMC), the technology provides detailed 3D analysis of the body’s walking pattern, or gait, to help identify neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease.
