Q&A: UCR Assistant Professor Stan Oklobdzija explains the broader policy issues behind the city of Riverside's rejection of a homeless housing project.
Is the internet losing its soul? A collaborative study by UC Riverside computer and social scientists suggests so. As artificial intelligence increasingly answers our online questions with quick summaries and polished explanations, we may be gaining efficiency while losing something distinctly human in the process. The study found that large...
UC Riverside is launching a fully online Master of Business Administration program this fall, opening the door for students across California, the nation, and around the world to earn a University of California MBA degree remotely while continuing their careers and personal responsibilities. The program marks a major expansion of...
Computer scientists at UC Riverside have identified troubling flaws in a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed to take over routine computer chores while users are away — sorting emails, organizing files, analyzing data, and handling other everyday digital tasks that might otherwise consume hours. The researchers found...

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing is outpacing the ability of many community water systems to deliver large bursts on the hottest days of the year, and building the necessary infrastructure is expected to cost billions of dollars.
UC Riverside computer scientists identify major security weaknesses in the Wi-Fi networks we rely on at work, at home, in airports, and in coffee shops, among other locations. Even the most advanced “enterprise-grade” encryption systems used by universities and corporations were found to be vulnerable.
California should regulate broadband internet providers like public utilities — imposing rate controls, universal access requirements, and reliability standards to ensure every resident has affordable, high-speed internet access, according to a new UC Riverside public policy report. The recommendation comes from a position paper by Edward Helderop, associate director of...
UCR-led study finds that tiny, invisible gases long thought to be irrelevant in cloud formation appear to play a major role in determining whether clouds form—and possibly whether it rains. This realization runs counter to more than a century of assumptions about the physics behind cloud droplet formation.
A study by UC Riverside and USC education scholars found that Black and Latino teens are significantly more adept than their white peers at detecting online disinformation—particularly content related to race and ethnicity. These youth are quicker to identify false claims and racist propaganda and also more likely to verify...
UCR researchers develop a method called Test-Time Matching, an approach that significantly improves how AI systems interpret relationships between text and images, especially when presented with unfamiliar combinations.
The UCR-developed Tango mandarin has established itself as a symbol of innovation and sustainability in the global citrus market, generating more than $70 million in cumulative economic value for the university.
UCR chemical engineering researchers have completed construction of a pilot biomass processing facility that transforms forestry and agricultural waste into pulp that can be made into textiles and building construction products.
A UCR study finds that federal rental financial assistance distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent evictions unintentionally improved the mental health of the aid recipients.
A report from UC Riverside’s Center for Community Solutions maps out tax-defaulted parcels across Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and it explores how land banking—acquiring and holding distressed land for future use—could support local housing strategies.
A report based on surveys and interviews with high school principals across the United States finds that federal immigration enforcement efforts are creating a climate of fear on campuses—driving down attendance, increasing bullying, and forcing contingency plans. The report, “The Fear is Everywhere: U.S. High School Principals Report Widespread Effects...
Expanding the time between company acquisitions improves the integration of the new assets and increases corporate values, study finds.
A decade after enticing its first group of 27 graduate students with full tuition support, the UC Riverside School of Public Policy (SPP) has grown into a major force shaping public policy across California and beyond. With the theme “Creating a Thriving, Prosperous, and Abundant World,” the school is now...
