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.
Founded in 1965, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering educates more than 4,700 students (3,716 undergraduates and 1,032 graduates) with an integrative approach that blends fundamentals, research and hands-on experience. The school’s aim is to unleash innovation, create opportunities and inspire ingenuity. The Samueli School’s faculty members are leaders in their disciplines who have achieved worldwide recognition for their research and dedicated teaching.
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.
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.
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).
As Henry Samueli School of Engineering alumni, you are part of an exceptional technological community that continues to develop new traditions and welcome individuals worldwide. The School is in an exciting growth spurt, developing innovative advancements each year that help promote UC Irvine as an interdisciplinary, world-class research university.
