“We used a combination of fundamental physics, nanofabrication and machine learning to make hidden distortions easier to detect and correct,” says Abdoulaye Ndao of UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering and Qualcomm Institute.
In addition to UC San Diego’s well-known ties to space — producing astronauts such as Jessica Meir and Kate Rubins, offering K-12 offerings from Sally Ride Science, and sending health research to space, to name but a few — researchers are conducting space-related research in unexpected ways.
Eight years ago this month, my former colleague, friend and predecessor as Dean of Social Sciences, Jeff Elman passed away. He left behind a tremendous legacy not only as dean but also as a founding member of the first Cognitive Science Department in the world.
What happens when federally funded research suddenly becomes part of the national conversation? The campuswide Behind Every Breakthrough campaign set out to explain what was really at stake — from cancer care and earthquake safety to the future of scientific discovery.
Engineers have developed an optical device that reveals hidden images and changes colors in response to different levels of humidity. The technology could lead to the development of new anti-counterfeiting labels, secure data storage, interactive displays and environmental sensors.
NIH funding will expand NEMAR's AI capabilities, integrate petabyte-scale neuroelectromagnetic datasets with SDSC supercomputing, and support new foundation models for brain research and broader community access.
