"We developed a novel technique to differentially map phonon momenta with atomic resolution, which enables us to observe nonequilibrium phonons that only exist near the interface," said co-author Xiaoqing Pan, UCI professor of materials science and engineering and physics, Henry Samueli Endowed Chair in Engineering, and IMRI director.
The Post-Award Team works closely with Principal Investigators (PI), the Office of Research, Beall Applied Innovation (BAI), Contracts & Grants Accounting, Other University Units, and Sponsors to ensure compliance and to provide outstanding support from award set-up through award close-out.
The UCI Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the Samueli School of Engineering is anticipating openings of postdoctoral scholar positions (Levels 0-IV). These positions require a Ph.D. in Materials Science or closely related field and subject-matter expertise in one or more of the following areas:
The American Chemical Society featured the mitochondria research being conducted by Professor Peter J. Burke in a recent issue of “Chemical and Engineering News.” Below is an excerpt:
It’s OK to be cautious, but to be so fearful of failure that you stop trying is deleterious. … a panel of successful people discussed failure. The participants were … Michelle Khine, an associate professor of biomedical engineering, chemical engineering and materials science at UC Irvine ... Khine talked about having hundreds of bad ideas in science for every great idea.
The Clean Energy Institute (CEI) in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering is anticipating openings of postdoctoral scholar positions from the basic science of energy (e.g., electrochemistry, combustion kinetics) to applied energy research (e.g., fuel cells, gas turbines, smart grids). These positions require a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and/or Aerospace Engineering.
While autonomous cars aren’t as expensive as they used to be, they’re not exactly competitive with midrange family sedans. … Dr. Shaoshan Liu says it doesn’t have to be that way. The University of California Irvine graduate … is the founder and CEO of PerceptIn, a robotics startup headquartered in Santa Clara, California that’s been developing an in-house self-driving car platform since 2016. It today unveiled the DragonFly Pod, an autonomous vehicle priced at just $40,000 that’ll go on sale in November.
The following boilerplate text was developed for SSoE PIs. The text is not tailored specifically to a particular call or project, and must be modified by the PI to follow the agency’s guidelines.
Dr. Zoran Nenadic, a neurologist at the University of California, [Irvine], said in a statement: “We’ve been able to, for the first time, allow a person to walk hands-free without pressing buttons. It’s a short distance, of course, but in terms of significance, it’s a very exciting step.”
The UC Irvine Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Department of Otolaryngology seek a full-time Assistant Project Scientist with an experience in building micro medical devices that will be placed in the ear. Such devices will be used for hearing research in animals. The salary would be $100,400 – $229,000 per year based on qualifications and experience. The successful candidate should have a background in Electrical Engineering.
