Ekaterina Shanina, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis, has won the Physics in Medicine & Biology Early Career Researcher Award for her research paper describing a novel brain phantom for positron emission tomography (PET).
The Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies, or SAOT, has honored Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Alba Alfonso García for her outstanding research record in optics, photonics and optical technologies.
For an implantable device improving outcomes of rotator cuff surgery and an IoT waste sorting system, two undergraduate engineering teams have received the Sandia Engineering Design Award for their senior design projects at UC Davis.
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue has received NSF's prestigious award honoring early-career faculty members. Funding from the CAREER Award will support her research on a multimodal microscopy system that can shed light on the mechanisms behind neurological diseases.
Biomedical engineering senior Claire Hsu has received a 2025 Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research for her innovative work on Alzheimer’s disease in Assistant Professor Audrey Fan’s lab at UC Davis.
Biomedical engineering senior Saahil Sachdeva is driven by and exemplifies outstanding engineering with a direct and positive impact. It makes sense, then, that he first came to study engineering out of a desire to work on his bike pedals.
Biomedical engineering senior Tiffany Chan received a Hanson Family Award for research on free student-faculty lunches that foster community in STEM. Her work blends empathy with evidence to shape a more inclusive academic culture — one lunch (and data set) at a time.
Rachel Mizenko, who earned her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from UC Davis in 2024, has been selected by the College of Engineering to receive the Zuhair A. Munir Award for best doctoral dissertation for her research with extracellular vesicles.
Biomedical Engineering doctoral candidate Alita D'Almeida receives the 2025 Excellence in Graduate Student Service & Leadership award for her outstanding contributions across her department and the College of Engineering at the University of California, Davis.
Each year, the College of Engineering celebrates outstanding faculty with awards that recognize their dedication to ensuring the future of engineering through teaching and research.
