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.
New AI Agent Could Transform How Scientists Study Weather and Climate
Computer scientists and weather scientists have taken the first steps toward creating an AI agent capable of analyzing and answering questions in natural language, such as English, about data from AI-driven weather and climate forecasting models.
UC San Diego Students Learn HPC Skills via SDSC’s Expanse
At UC San Diego, high performance computing (HPC) is being woven directly into undergraduate engineering education by giving students early, hands-on experience with the same tools that drive modern research and development.
Team Led by UC San Diego Researchers Selected for Prestigious Global Cancer Prize
With up to $25 million from Cancer Grand Challenges, an international team led by UC San Diego professor Ludmil Alexandrov will unlock the secrets of DNA's "fingerprints."
UC San Diego Paper Defining Vision for 6G ISAC Among Most Downloaded in Proceedings of the IEEE
UC San Diego electrical and computer engineering professor Nuria González-Prelcic has co-authored a paper that outlines the future of 6G wireless networks and has been recognized as one of the most downloaded and cited articles of 2025 in Proceedings of the IEEE.
Improve Prostate Cancer Care with AI
Electrical engineers are key members of a team developing a new artificial intelligence model of the male urinary tract that could make prostate cancer radiation therapy more precise and help reduce side effects, such as urinary complications.
