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.
At the University of California, Irvine, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering is buzzing with activity as students immerse themselves in hands-on learning. At the heart of UCI’s engineering program is the philosophy of translating theory into practice. The help realize this philosophy, the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) offers more than 20 interdisciplinary project courses …. The goal of these projects is to prepare well-rounded engineers who can tackle real-world problems.
Brett Sanders, is a UCI professor of civil and environmental engineering, urban planning and public policy.

“People have heard coral reefs are suffering, but they don’t know that the ecosystems in their own backyards are too,” said Kristen Davis, head of UC Irvine’s Coastal Dynamics Laboratory. … “Sea life is feeling the pressure of warming waters and sea-level rise, but we can’t see that,” Davis said. “If the oil spill can make people more aware of the other effects of fossil fuels, that would be helpful. This oil spill is just one of the threats.” Read More
Desktops made by a small California company demonstrate that it is possible to build a PC that performs well and isn’t an eyesore. … Founder and Chief Executive Officer Johnny Hou started NZXT in 2004 to sell a colorful, robot-themed computer case he designed when he was an engineering student at University of California, Irvine. In an interview earlier this month, the entrepreneur explained how the venture brought together his lifelong passions for gaming, design and technology.
On Sunday evening, SPIE 2022 President Anita Mahadevan-Jansen opened this year’s SPIE Optics + Photonics plenary program with her welcome to both the attendees and the return to full in-person operations of the event. However Dr. Mahadevan-Jansen, who is Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University, also had the solemn duty to announce that the scheduled speaker – Dr.
Engineers push nanostructure properties to new extremes. Researchers at University of California, Irvine increased the energy absorption and strength of nanoarchitected structures by fabricating interpenetrating phased composites. Read More
Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan, said in June that they are donating an additional $50 million to the University of California, Irvine.
For many years, Alon Gorodetsky, Ph.D., [associate professor, chemical & biomolecular engineering] and his research group have been working on materials inspired by squid.
