Postdoctoral Scholar Positions in Bioinspired Photonics – Laboratory for Cephalopod-inspired Materials
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 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UC Irvine invites applicants for up to three postdoctoral scholar positions in the Gorodetsky Group. The position requires a Ph.D. in materials science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or related fields. There are multiple openings for applicants with expertise in adaptive infrared and thermoregulatory materials, broadly defined. Expertise with nanostructure fabrication, specifically via glancing angle deposition or oblique angle deposition, is preferred. The start date is negotiable.
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 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UC Irvine invites applicants for one postdoctoral scholar position in the Gorodetsky Group. There is one opening for applicants with expertise in polymer synthesis, broadly defined. The position requires a Ph.D. in chemistry or a related field. Expertise with the synthesis of polyquinolines or quinolines, specifically via Povarov methods, is preferred. The start date is negotiable.
The researchers at the University of California, Irvine, used a brain-computer interface to bypass the damage in a man who had been paralyzed for five years. … One of the researchers, Dr. An Do, said: "We showed that you can restore intuitive, brain-controlled walking after a complete spinal cord injury.”
The double whammy of overlapping droughts and heat waves is happening more frequently than it used to, according to a new study by climate scientists. “Heat waves can kill people and crops while worsening air quality, and droughts exacerbate those serious impacts,” said lead author Amir AghaKouchak, an environmental engineer from the University of California, Irvine.
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:
