In case of a Fire, pull the nearest Fire Alarm handle; call 911, and evacuate your space following the instructions of your Floor Warden and Building Coordinator. The listing below identifies the General Safety Condition. There is a Primary Contact to whom you should immediately report the condition, and the there is a follow up contact who will follow up to mitigate the unsafe condition.
"The applications range for our patented device range from imaging, sensing, spectroscopy, radar, and short-range indoor communications," Payam Heydari, UCI professor of electrical engineering and computer science, told EE Times in an exclusive interview.
Stacey Nicholas has donated $5 million to foster and support diverse representation at the schools of engineering and computer sciences at University of California, Irvine. “It’s so important to support underrepresented students so they’ll have the same chance of success as their more fortunate peers,” Nicholas said. … The $5 million donation brings the university’s total contributions to $813 million since 2015.
"This elegant and clever study describes a sustainable and biodegradable silk-based replacement for microplastic encapsulants, which are a pressing environmental challenge,” says Alon Gorodetsky, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of California at Irvine, who was not associated with this research.
"The ironclad is a terrestrial beetle, so it's not lightweight and fast but built more like a little tank," study co-author David Kisailus said in a news release. "That's its adaptation: It can't fly away, so it just stays put and lets its specially designed armor take the abuse until the predator gives up," said Kisailus, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of California, Irvine.

Broadcom Inc. Chairman Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan are donating an additional $50 million to the University of California, Irvine. Their latest gift is for engineering-focused research aimed at improving health, the environment and society as a whole, and will lead to the creation of three new multidisciplinary research institutes at the existing Henry Samueli School of Engineering [grouped together under the theme “Engineering+”] They include the Engineering and Health Institute, Engineering and Society Institute and Engineering and Environment Institute.
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and Columbia University have developed a groundbreaking biocompatible sensor implant capable of monitoring neurological functions as patients grow. … “For our innovation, we used organic polymer materials that are inherently closer to us biologically, and we designed it to interact with ions, because the language of the brain and body is ionic, not electronic,” said co-author Dion Khodagholy.

Contracts Services assists with the review, revision and execution of a variety of purchase agreements, professional service agreements, performance agreements and non-sponsored program revenue generating agreements. Contract Services analyzes and reviews terms and conditions to assure compliance with state and federal laws, and UC or campus policies.
“Far too many people have been misled into believing that electrification is the entire [carbon] solution” that is needed, says Jack Brouwer, an energy expert at the University of California, Irvine, who has been engineering solutions to his region’s dirty air for more than two decades. “And many of our state agencies and legislators have bought in,” without considering how to solve energy storage or to fuel industry, he says.

"We've observed a shift of approximately 0.6 degrees Celsius [1.0 Fahrenheit] between the first and the second half of the 20th century. But if you only include months classified as dry, you see that there's almost double the shift in temperature," said lead author Felicia Chiang, a graduate student researcher in civil and environmental engineering at UC Irvine.
