Marking a breakthrough in the field of nanophotonics, a team of researchers from UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has unlocked a new way to power nanoscale light-generating devices with electricity while preserving the delicate optical properties needed for efficient operation.
UC Berkeley and UCSF have launched a joint program called the Bakar Computational Biomedicine Initiative to develop the frontier of AI and biomedicine, tremendously accelerating advances in clinical care. The new partnership brings together world-class faculty expertise in computing, AI, statistics, biology and medicine, to speed discovery in everything from disease prevention, to early-detection and new therapeutics in healthcare.
A UC Berkeley-led project trained an AI system on hundreds of thousands of EKGs. The resulting risk predictions are much better than existing methods, paving the way to save lives at scale.
A transformational $13.5 million commitment from longtime UC Berkeley supporters Matt Sonsini and Lisa Sonsini will dramatically expand the university’s capacity to translate cutting-edge academic research into ventures that address society’s most pressing challenges.
On May 22, the UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society held two commencement ceremonies at the Greek Theatre to recognize more than 2,000 students graduating from the college with bachelor of arts degrees in computer science, data science and statistics.
UC Berkeley faculty and key benefactors gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 13 to celebrate nearing completion on the Barbara and Gerson Bakar Gateway building, the new home of the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS). Since becoming Berkeley’s newest college in the spring of 2023, CDSS has supported a diverse array of researchers and scholars who are not only developing cutting-edge...
Highlights from the Barbara and Gerson Bakar Gateway ribbon-cutting ceremony at UC Berkeley on May 13, 2026. The new state-of-the-art home of the UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS) will bring together more than 1,325 faculty, students, researchers, partners and staff to spark AI-driven discovery and interdisciplinary collaboration across campus and beyond. Guests enjoyed interactive research and education exhibits, guided tours...
Michael I. Jordan will speak at UC Berkeley’s College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS) undergraduate commencement ceremonies on May 22. Jordan is the Pehong Chen Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) and the Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley. His research interests bridge the computational, statistical, cognitive, biological and social sciences.
Researchers from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco are trying to address healthcare needs with artificial intelligence – part of a growing trend in medicine of using AI to augment providers’ work while addressing challenges such as the rising cost of healthcare and disparities in access to medical care. In 2025, Berkeley and UCSF researchers launched Voio, a startup that aims to build AI models...
Researchers from UCSF UC Berkeley Computational Precision Health (CPH) and the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) have been awarded a Laude Moonshots seed grant in support of Edge Medicine, an initiative to bring intelligent, always-on AI tools to frontline healthcare in order to improve patients’ everyday lives.
