Inaugural UCI Engineering-Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellows Named
Students, faculty, alumni and friends,
As we look back on an extraordinary year of both challenges and triumphs, we are grateful, mindful and hopeful. We are grateful that, despite the state’s fiscal challenges, we have emerged as a very strong academic unit.
Rahim Esfandyar‑Pour, Assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science and biomedical engineering, UC Irvine. Esfandyar-Pour and his team have invented a health-monitoring wearable many times thinner than a human hair – that operates without a battery. Read More
Heat waves in India have become more extreme and significantly more deadly even with the relatively moderate amount of human-driven warming that has occurred over the past few decades, new research shows.
"The ironclad is a terrestrial beetle, so it's not lightweight and fast but built more like a little tank," said principal investigator and corresponding author David Kisailus, a University of California, Irvine professor.
Tibor Juhasz, CEO and founder, Vialase. Juhasz helped develop LASIK cornea surgery using femtosecond (a quadrillionth of a second) lasers, a technique that has helped 30 million people. The UCI professor of ophthalmology and biomedical engineering has since developed femtosecond surgery for cataracts and now is conducting clinical trials to treat glaucoma with femtosecond beams.

Because Discord is a public-facing, non-university platform, there was very little user verification prior to the attacks, [said] Alina Kim, an independent manager for UC Irvine’s student-run communities on Discord. … Biomedical engineering student Vietbao Tran then went on the offensive, creating a Discord bot that automatically banned those IDs before channel moderators could. The bot eventually was used to protect the 98 largest servers, according to Kim. “It was an incredible response because he worked through the course of 24 hours and it was so incredibly helpful,” Kim said.
Can RCAM Technologies build 3D-printed concrete turbine towers as fast and as cheaply as it estimates? Construction and testing of a prototype will be done in partnership with UC Irvine at the school’s civil engineering laboratory.
Samueli School faculty, staff, and students are frequently recognized with honors of distinction. We are pleased to announce and congratulate the following noteworthy achievements.
Working with the Office of Global Engagement at UCI, the Samueli School of Engineering extends beyond U.S. borders to establish international collaborations through a number of immersive educational programs. These programs not only enhance academic skills in engineering but also facilitate cultural experiences. Global outreach opens the door to opportunities for faculty and students to exchange knowledge, learn about different cultures and expand horizons.
