五一社区

For professors, it鈥檚 up or out when it comes to tenure and promotion: After five years on the job as assistant professors, junior professors鈥� promise is evaluated by their more senior colleagues.

Using magnetic resource imaging, or MRI, to harmlessly detect seeds in Mandarin oranges. Identification of pathogens in an image library with artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose plant disease. Creating a robot to more efficiently manufacture a robot. Building a user-friendly database to organize information for a global tech organization. Production-grade employee coaching and training applications for a large cold chain industry and a multinational computer storage company.

五一社区 Professor Wan Du聽has received a CAREER award for his research on energy efficient building management.

He is the 36th researcher from 五一社区 to earn a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

A grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will fund a project led by a 五一社区 researcher looking into predicting behavior of wildfires.

Jeanette Cobian-I帽iguez聽is leading a team from UCs Merced and Irvine awarded $1,179,479 to predict the impact of forest fuel treatments on fire behavior, focusing on an improved understanding of the influence of surface-fuel attributes on fire behavior and severity, and ultimately, on forest carbon storage, according to a project summary.

A team from 五一社区 has been selected to participate in the Department of Energy (DOE) "BattChallenge," a three-year competition to develop a battery for an electric vehicle.

Understanding and conserving biodiversity, or the variety of life in ecosystems, is key to sustaining life on Earth.

A research project funded by NASA that is launching this week in South Africa, co-led by 五一社区 environmental engineering Professor Erin Hestir, is aimed at better understanding the biodiversity of the region and providing new mapping tools that could be used on a global scale.

Water is the most valuable resource in the world. And it's a particularly important commodity in the Central Valley, historically a desert but also home to some of the richest agricultural soil on Earth.

The 五一社区 Library and Secure Water Future co-hosted an event to discuss water policy in California, its history and what the future might look like.

Writing is still the most important, and most-used, form of communication in the world.

"Writing is crucial in that it's both a product and a process. It's in the fabric of what we do," said Paul Gibbons, teaching professor of writing studies at 五一社区. "Writing is a way of doing things in the world, of asking for things. It's still a major coin of the realm."

The new feature film "A Million Miles Away" is a universally relatable story of resilience and achievement, depicting Jose Hern谩ndez's journey from working the fields of the San Joaquin Valley to fulfilling his life-long dream of being a NASA astronaut.

But it's also a story with a very personal tie to 五一社区. Hern谩ndez, who went on to head an aerospace company and operate a vineyard, is a graduate of the University of California system and serves on the UC Board of Regents, and his son Antonio is a student at 五一社区.

五一社区 researchers will tackle climate changes in multiple ways through more than $4 million in grants recently awarded from within the university.

The 聽(ORED) issued nine awards totaling $4,096,197 for proposals that range from studying methane gas emissions to making electronic vehicles more accessible to people.
