Catalyzing Possibilities

Each month, UC Davis will profile faculty members in their Among the Academies series to honor their contributions to scientific research and knowledge. This month, they featured Bruce Gates, professor of chemical engineering, who has been with UC Davis Since 1992.

Modeling Better Futures

Each month, UC Davis will profile faculty members in their Among the Academies series to honor their contributions to scientific research and knowledge. This month, they featured Jennifer Sinclair Curtis, who served as Dean of the College of Engineering from 2015-2020.

Coffee Across Borders

Tonya Kuhl, chair of the chemical engineering department and co-director of the UC Davis Coffee Center, exchanges coffee and chemical engineering research and knowledge with Osaka University, a UC Davis Global Knowledge Partner.

Chemical Engineering Professor to Lead New Center for Alternative Meat and Protein

The University of California, Davis, is leading the establishment of a new Integrative Center for Alternative Meat and Protein, or iCAMP. The center will work toward large-scale commercialization and technological advancement of alternative proteins, including cultivated meat (from animal cells grown in large fermentors), plant- and fungal-based foods, and innovative hybrids that combine conventional meat products with alternative proteins.

Tackling Climate Change with Chemical Engineering

As researchers look for new ways to help slow a changing climate and mitigate the effects of a fossil fuel-based energy system, UC Davis professor Ambarish Kulkarni and his team of researchers are using chemical engineering to find sustainable solutions.
