Get ready to Return to the Redwoods! Reconnect with friends, family, and fellow alumni as you explore the beauty of UC Santa Cruz. From the kick-off party and Stars & S’mores to hikes, workshops, and family-friendly fun, this weekend offers something for everyone. Ticket, housing, and registration details will be shared in early 2026—stay tuned! […]
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 coexistence and interaction between inter- and intra-datacenter traffic are the differences in their QoS requirements, link utilization, and round-trip times. To the best of […]
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 disruptions, and limited access to energy resources introduce challenges that conventional power system planning and operation frameworks were not designed to address. Wildfires provide a […]
Visit the IAS, UCSC’s premier art galleries, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian […]
On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. Prisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information, to intimacy, to community, to meaningful work, to nourishment of all kinds, and perhaps most cruelly, to care. This program […]
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, they fail to preserve the topology of the scan and to encode sparse information in a memory-efficient way. The recent emergence of machine learning-based continuous coordinate-based […]
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 persistence, creating conflict within the genome. In this talk, I examine the evolutionary and functional consequences of such genomic conflict across three systems. First, I […]
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 […]
What’s a family vacation without a little murder? Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes New York Times bestselling author Nina Simon (Mother-Daughter Murder Night) back to the store for a reading and […]
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 […]
Ready to explore new career opportunities? Join fellow UC alumni from across all 10 UC campuses at the HireUC Alumni Career Summit – Irvine, where you’ll have the opportunity to […]
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 […]
Join UC alumni from all ten campuses working and driving innovation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for an exclusive networking reception. Expand your professional network, […]

This exhibition brings together a range of analog games – including board, card, role-playing, and other participatory works – that engage social and political realities in different ways. The works […]
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 […]

We’ll provide an overview of the curriculum, discuss current industry trends and workforce demand, highlight career opportunities, and answer your questions about getting started. Your […]
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 of our programs and cover how to apply for our next admissions cycle, which opens August 7. We’ll also discuss the application process, admissions timeline, […]
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 test-time scaling, training multimodal medical models with verifiable rewards, and synthesizing high-quality visual question-answering data from biomedical literature using generator-verifier frameworks. Building on these efforts, […]
