Greetings!
We would love to share our most novel and exciting technologies happening right now in Engineering and the Sciences at UC Santa Barbara. Please feel free to click the links to learn more about each research theme or reply to this newsletter if you have any questions about how to get involved with research with our campus!
UCSB Robotics brings together faculty, students, and visitors affiliated with departments across the UC Santa Barbara campus. The group facilitates cooperation in robotic systems, design, and control and their various interdisciplinary applications.
It provides a foundation for expertise in these disciplines through courses, events, and publications. You are invited to explore our site to learn about the research conducted by our faculty and students and to find out about the group's activities in research and education.
This research facility is dedicated to understanding the structure, function and dynamical properties of the human brain. Directed by Dr. Scott Grafton, the center supports a state of the art 3-Tesla (3T) Siemens PRISMA magnet resonance imaging system with a 64 channel head coil as well as MRI compatible high density electroencephalography hardware. The main purpose of the Center is to support basic research in cognitive/mind neuroscience using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
The Center for Bio-image Informatics is an interdisciplinary research effort between Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, Multimedia and Engineering. The overarching goal of the center is the advancement of human knowledge of the complex biological processes which occur at both cellular and sub-cellular levels. To achieve this core objective, the center employs and develops cutting edge techniques in the fields of imaging, pattern recognition and data mining.
SSLEEC is focused on new semiconductor based technologies for disinfection, advanced mobile displays, energy efficient lighting, and power electronics. The objective of the SSLEEC is to provide a forum for its members - key industry partners and the faculty and student researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara - to work in collaboration and across scientific disciplines to address the most challenging problems in these important and timely areas of research.
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need for scalable solutions around disinfection. Existing UVC systems are bulky, inefficient, and costly. For over 15 years, SSLEEC has been actively researching materials growth, simulation, and characterization, as well as device design and fabrication, needed to achieve high-efficiency LEDs operating in the UVC wavelength band.
