First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your knowledge of the Arboretum’s plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending […]
Home gardens, small farms, and wildland-agricultural interfaces can often be areas of increased water, food, and habitat resources for wildlife. Many people are interested in seeing wildlife on their properties, […]
Many scientific applications produce repeated point pattern realizations across subjects, regions, or time. While such point patterns exhibit individual variation, we assume they arise from related point processes that share […]
Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting can improve final-answer performance, but it does not guarantee that intermediate reasoning steps are faithful, valid, or checkable. This proposal studies how formal methods can make natural-language […]
Learning to be Community-Minded How do children learn to be part of a community, attentive to what’s going on around them and pitching in to help out? Barbara Rogoff builds […]
AI is advancing faster than ever. Join Praveen Krishna, chair of the AI Program Advisory Board, for a discussion of the latest developments shaping the field, from Agentic AI and AI […]
Working Hard Isn’t Enough: The Unspoken Rules That Shape Your Career With Ricky Koo Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026 | Noon PT Virtual via Zoom Hosted by UCLA Alumni Association, open […]
As datacenters scale up and become more geographically distributed, wide-area network inter-datacenter traffic, which typically consists of data-heavy tasks, has become increasingly prevalent. Some of the noteworthy challenges raised by […]
The rapid electrification of transportation is creating new interdependencies between power and transportation systems, particularly during extreme events and disasters. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption increases, evacuation-related charging demand, infrastructure […]
The Graduate Preparation Program (GPP) is a four-week intensive non-credit course offered in person on the main campus prior to the fall quarter, which is open to all current and […]
Medical image representation has long been dominated by voxel-grid matrices. While their inherent structure and order work efficiently for various linear transformations and provide a seamless visualization method on monitors, […]
Genomes are often viewed as cooperative systems in which genes work together to support organismal function. Yet genetic elements can also act in ways that favor their own transmission or […]
Join us for an interactive discussion on current industry trends, emerging skills, and career opportunities, and learn how our Silicon Chip Design & Semiconductor Engineering courses are designed to help professionals build […]
This thesis explores iterative methods for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), which are used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model a wide range of physical phenomena. The primary […]
Deep learning models trained on simulation and reanalysis data can now emulate turbulent geophysical flows at a small fraction of the computational cost of numerical solvers. Their scientific utility depends […]
Host-microbe systems are core to some of biology’s most consequential interactions, from the pathogens that drive infectious disease to symbionts affecting agricultural pest control and vector-borne disease transmission. Yet unlike […]
Interested in becoming a Special Education Teacher Assistant? Join us for an informative session to explore the courses designed to prepare you for success in inclusive and special education classrooms. […]
Join UC Santa Cruz Healthcare Pathways for a live online information session to learn about our Premed Postbacc Cohort, Premed and Pre-Health DIY Pathways, and other program offerings. We’ll provide an overview […]
Advances in microscopy have enabled the collection of high-quality single-cell datasets, providing new opportunities to identify the mechanisms underlying complex biological processes. In this work, we develop machine-learning frameworks using […]
This PhD research focuses on developing reliable medical foundation models capable of reasoning across textual, visual, and interactive clinical information. The work investigates three complementary directions: improving medical reasoning through […]
