The UCI Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering is currently accepting applications for an assistant project scientist in the laboratory of Professor Naomi Chesler (cheslerlab.org), who directs the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation Cardiovascular Innovation and Research Center (circ.eng.uci.edu). The position
The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at UC Irvine is one of the nation’s fastest growing engineering schools, attracting talented faculty and students from across the nation and abroad. The Samueli School is dedicated to fostering an interdisciplinary community of learning, and is at the forefront of energy and environmental technology research and development, including advancements made in the Advanced Power and Energy Program, the National Fuel Cell Research Center, the Combustion Laboratory, the Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing, and the Urban Water Research Center.
Global warming is a potent instigator of deadly heat, with research from University of California, Irvine this month finding the probability of a heatwave killing in excess of 100 people in India has doubled due to a 0.5C increase in temperature over the past 50 years.
Neil Sahota, chief innovation officer at [Global AI Initiatives and a lecturer in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering], University of California, Irvine, says intelligent software opens the door to the deployment of AI designed for power grid use cases. Utilities are already employing AI to address the windfalls and fluctuations in energy usage.
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).
Now, [Ron] Davis and other scientists at Stanford and the University of California, Irvine, have created a device that could make diagnosing ME/CFS much simpler. The research was published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Known as a “nanoneedle,” the new device picks up on certain changes in electrical signals to identify people with ME/CFS.
Thank you for your interest in our Civil and Environmental Engineering graduate program at UC Irvine. The application for the Fall 2024 admission cycle will be available on Oct. 2, 2023. Applications must be completed, and all supporting material submitted by Jan. 31, 2024 (5:00 p.m. PT).
The department receives a large volume of graduate applications each year and the selection process is extremely competitive. Minimum requirements are as follows:
The shallow lake was at its most expansive in recent decades in the late 1990s …. But a 5-year dry spell that began in 1998 was coupled with increasing water diversion for irrigation. “We call it anthropogenic drought,” says Amir AghaKouchak, [professor of civil & environmental engineering], a hydrologist at the University of California (UC), Irvine, who first visited Urmia as a student in 1998. … In the past few years, such worries receded as ample precipitation helped boost lake levels by about 1.5 meters.
“I think it took a long time to convince people in Orange County that there was a need for it, that there was room for it and that it’s worth the money and the investment,” Sarah Catz, [lecturer], a researcher in the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Irvine and a former OCTA board member, said of light rail.
The Undergraduate Student Affairs Office offers academic advising from academic counselors and peer advisors in the School's Student Affairs Office, 305 Rockwell Engineering Center. Students are encouraged to consult with the academic counselors in the Engineering Student Affairs Office whenever they desire to change their program of study:
Hundreds of thousands of people in Los Angeles could experience at least a foot of flooding during a 100-year disaster, a new scientific study has found, highlighting the hazards of aging infrastructure in America’s second-largest city. This is a much higher estimate of flood exposure in Los Angeles than the one produced by the federal government. … The discrepancy is explained, in part, because the new study takes a more realistic view of the city’s water infrastructure, said the report’s lead author, Brett F.
UC Irvine ended up on the front line of this debate because it is home to the National Fuel Cell Research Center, which has been testing hydrogen for years. The center is led by Jack Brouwer, an engineering professor at UCI who has studied hydrogen for 25 years. Brouwer’s team has worked with SoCalGas on other projects. So he said previously that this next test seemed a natural fit after the CPUC asked gas companies back in 2019 to help develop standards for safely injecting hydrogen into the statewide natural gas system.
The Samueli School of Engineering offers undergraduate degrees in a wide range of traditional and emerging fields. All engineering programs combine science, engineering fundamentals, design principles and application, and a culminating design experience. Students are encouraged to participate in research and hands-on engineering design opportunities to develop the practical skills needed for graduate study or employment. The school currently offers 12 majors and two minors.
