Matt Bishop, a computer science professor at the University of California, Davis, leads a unique coalition of top-ranked universities, community colleges and cybersecurity organizations in launching an innovative new educational initiative to improve the country's software security: The Strengthen Workforce Education for Excellence in Programming Securely, or SWEEPS, program.
From healthcare innovation to online communication, the associate professor's research in human-computer interaction aims to create effective, user-friendly tools that address complex societal challenges.
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia. AFib is the most common type of heart arrhythmia and predisposes patients to an increased risk of stroke. It has a significant global impact — affecting nearly 40 million individuals worldwide and over 6 million in the United States.
Matt Bishop, a professor of computer science at UC Davis and an expert in cybersecurity, answers a crucial question for the 2024 presidential election in a feature in UC Davis Magazine.
The UC Davis College of Engineering has hired five new faculty members to join the Department of Computer Science this fall. The assistant professors will investigate increasing memory and energy efficiency in software, improving security and system performance and how large foundational models can be used in fields like psychology and agriculture.
Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Mathematics Peter Linz was instrumental in the department's founding and retired from UC Davis as department chair in 1994.
A $1.85 million grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation connects UC Davis researchers with peers from five other UCs to build a system-wide network of open source program offices to better educate and sustain the UC open source software community.
With new internet privacy regulations demanding compliance from data systems, computer science researchers from UC Davis and UC Irvine have partnered with a UC Davis law professor to translate the regulations into technical language. The next step to protecting people's privacy is to build a system that ensures existing systems can comply.
The NSF has recognized Mitrović with the prestigious early faculty award. The assistant professor of computer science designs algorithms to efficiently solve tasks on large networks with data distributed across multiple machines and data centers.
As artificial intelligence gains momentum, University of California researchers are identifying discrimination in the algorithms that are shaping our society, devising solutions, and helping build a future where computers do us less harm and more good.
