A fully automated tool for species tree inference

A team of engineers at UC San Diego is making it easier for researchers from a broad range of backgrounds to understand how different species are evolutionarily related, and support the transformative biological and medical applications that rely on these species trees.

Self-assembling Molecules Take the Spotlight at Research Expo 2025

UC San Diego materials science and engineering Ph.D. student Liya Bi won the grand prize at the 43rd annual Jacobs School of Engineering Research Expo for his work studying how molecules organize themselves into ordered patterns on metal surfaces, which could transform how microchips are made.

Min Proteins for Max Efficiency During Cell Division

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers from UC San Diego have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

UC San Diego Humanities Scholars Make Sense of Complicated Histories

Three faculty in the School of Arts and Humanities were recently selected by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to receive $60,000 fellowships for their research project. Annually, the NEH chooses a small number of projects to support, each going through a rigorous peer-review process.

Helping High-Performance Computers Multi-task

A joint team of computer scientists from UC San Diego and Purdue University took an in-depth look at how well CPUs can coordinate valuable computational work with incoming requests and proposed a practical method to carry out parallel tasks with speed and efficiency.

UC San Diego Engineer Miroslav Krstic Named Fellow-Ambassador of CNRS

Krstic joins world leaders in their research fields as a Fellow-Ambassador with France’s national research organization.

Report Details the Widespread Impacts of Dust on California

Researchers from several University of California campuses have collaborated to create a report on dust in California, which comes at a time of great need for the public to understand the issue. "We want to get our legislators to take the increase in dust pollution more seriously," said one.
