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.
The assistant project scientist receives the UC Davis Academic Federation distinction for groundbreaking biomedical imaging research, particularly in the area of total-body positron emission tomography, or PET imaging.
Carney is one of eight faculty members to join this year’s class of Chancellor’s Fellows at the University of California, Davis. The distinction is given to early academics doing exemplary work in their fields.
Biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Ekaterina Shanina discusses her experience as a first-time conference presenter at the IEEE Medical Imaging Conference, where she received a prestigious award for her research in positron emission tomography.
Cheemeng Tan and Sean Collins, associate professors at UC Davis, are part of a national effort to develop a novel device for inflammatory bowel disease. The technology will function like a pharmacy inside the body, producing and releasing engineered cells as a real-time response to flare-ups.
Abigail Humphries is working on a National Institutes of Health-funded project to improve health outcomes of spina bifida at the University of California, Davis — where she was treated for the condition as a newborn over twenty years ago.
