Eight UC San Diego Researchers Elected 2025 AAAS Fellows
Eight researchers at the University of California San Diego have been elected 2025 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS): Andrew D. Chisholm, Farinaz Koushanfar, Albert P. Pisano, Ravi Ramamoorthi, JoAnn Trejo, Emily Troemel, Meenakshi Wadhwa and Sheng Zhong.
Sound Waves Could Be Used to Remotely Reprogram Material Stiffness, Study Shows
A team of researchers co-led by UC San Diego engineers has demonstrated a new way to remotely control how a material behaves — using sound. The findings could lead to the development of protective gear, robotic muscles or medical implants that adjust their stiffness on demand.
Brain-inspired Device Could Lead to Faster, More Energy-efficient AI Hardware
A brain-inspired hardware platform could lead to the development of compact, low-power AI hardware. By mimicking how the brain processes information, the platform improved the speed, accuracy and energy efficiency of simulated tasks such as spoken-digit recognition and early seizure detection.
