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.
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.
Authoritarian regimes exert control over the internet through transit networks that operate largely out of public view, according to a recent study by researchers in the U.S. and Germany. The work, published in PNAS Nexus, also shows how more sophisticated authoritarian regimes extend their influence by providing network access in poorer but politically similar countries.
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.
As machine learning and artificial intelligence become more involved with decision-making, Professor Ian Davidson is on a quest to integrate fairness into human-AI systems.
Assistant Professor of Computer Science Maike Sonnewald weighs in on gaining information from a recent onslaught of storms to provide intel on climate change and make long-range weather forecasts.
A multidisciplinary research team in communication and computer science at the University of California, Davis, performed a systematic audit of YouTube’s video recommendations in 2021 and 2022. They tested how a person’s ideological leaning might affect what videos YouTube’s algorithms recommend to them.
With the next step in computer evolution on our doorstep, researchers are grappling with how the technology of today can facilitate designing the computers of tomorrow. Enter gem5, a computer simulation tool that could become a gateway to future generations of supercomputers.
