Amir AghaKouchak, UCI associate professor of civil & environmental engineering and others write, “Scientists are also closely watching the impact that the rapid warming and drying is having on trees, worried that water stress could lead to widespread tree deaths.

Most of the time, the researchers found, the utilities fell back on carbon-emitting sources like natural gas and coal to fill their power needs.
Likewise, two doctors at University of California, Irvine (UCI) have joined with the Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic to build a “bridge" ventilator—a device that can be sold inexpensively, made quickly, and help relieve some of the pressure on intensive care units.
This intersection between AI and traditional engineering is rapidly becoming its own formal discipline called AI Engineering. To explore this, ZDNET had the opportunity to discuss AI Engineering with Pramod Khargonekar, distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science and vice chancellor for research at the University of California, Irvine.

Research: Dr. Shkel is interested in the design and advanced control of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for biomedical, communication and inertial navigation applications. His research interests center on the development of high-precision micro-machined gyroscopes; MEMS-enhanced optical systems, tools and prosthetic appliances; and the integration of electro-mechanical and machine-information systems. |
Mohammad Al Faruque, the director of UCI’s Advanced Integrated Cyber-Physical Systems Lab, led the team which showed that a simple device, such as a smartphone, can capture acoustic signals that carry information about the precise movements of the printer’s nozzle. These recordings can then be used to reverse engineer whatever object is being printed and re-create it somewhere else. Basically, this poses a huge security risk due to how easily detailed and confidential processes can be deciphered using common, everyday gadgets.
“If you invest in the beach and the sand protects the railroad, then the railroad protects the toe of the slope at Casa Romantica,” said Brett Sanders, a UC Irvine professor of civil and environmental engineering. “But then you have to think about the instability of the slope itself.
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in the Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) invites applications for a tenure- track faculty position at the assistant professor, or tenured faculty position at the associate professor level with a target start date of July 1, 2025. We seek candidates interested in building a strong, vibrant and diverse research group in macromolecular engineering.
