A tiny titanium nut that had been removed from inside the reactor was just the kind of material needed to prove that this new technique, developed at MIT and at other institutions, provides a way to probe defects created inside materials, including those that have been exposed to radiation, with five times greater sensitivity than existing methods.
Michelle Khine’s latest medtech startup was inspired by one of the scariest moments of her life. In 2018, Khine, a UCI biomedical engineering professor and entrepreneur, was watching her newborn baby being treated for a collapsed lung when she noticed that doctors weren’t monitoring his breathing. As she soon discovered, respiration has long been a neglected vital sign. State-of-the-art monitors are often bulky and can be inaccurate. “I went back and told my students: ‘This is ridiculous!’” she recalls.

Assistant Adjunct Professor in Materials Science and Engineering
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for an assistant adjunct professor in the Non-Senate Adjunct Professor Series.
The UC Irvine Samueli School of Engineering has reorganized the Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science (ChEMS) into two new departments, effective July 1, 2018: Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) and Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE).
All engineering programs combine science, engineering fundamentals, design principles and application, and a culminating design experience, however, students are encouraged to participate in research and hands-on engineering design opportunities to develop the practical skills needed for graduate study or employment. A variety of programs are available to broaden and enhance your engineering educational experience including study abroad, multidisciplinary research and design programs, campus honors and a program in international engineering.
