The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century demonstrated for the first time that fusion can be a viable source of clean energy. But a whole host of engineering challenges must be addressed before fusion can be scaled up to become a safe, affordable source of virtually unlimited clean power. In other words, it’s engineering time.
Ramesh Rao, director of the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute, sits down with Shane Cybart, director of CalIT2 Riverside, for a wide-ranging discussion on quantum and other advanced computing methods.
Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a groundbreaking method for generating highly realistic computer-generated images of fluid dynamics, in elements such as smoke.
Sonoma State University Chemistry Professor and Chair Mark J. Perri has been awarded nearly $1M from the U.S. National Science Foundation to enhance ChemCompute, a free online platform he created for undergraduate students to perform advanced computational chemistry experiments.
At the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), part of the School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences (SCIDS) at UC San Diego, students in the Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program aim to address critical local challenges through data-driven research.
University of California San Diego electrical and computer engineering professor Yuanyuan Shi has been named a 2024 AI2050 Early Career Fellow by Schmidt Sciences. This honor recognizes Shi’s pioneering work in developing AI and control models for sustainable energy systems–particularly, AI-driven building control systems designed to optimize indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption.
