Soroosh Sorooshian, UC Irvine Distinguished Professor and director of the Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing and chair of the UC ANR Rosenberg International Forum on Water Policy: “Mr. Richard Rosenberg was passionate about the well-being of the environment in addition to his responsibilities managing one of the largest financial institutions in the world.
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, have made a breakthrough with a bio-inspired research project that they say is the first step towards intrinsically translucent tissue. The team was inspired by octopuses, squids, and other sea creatures that can disappear by using specialized tissues in the body to manipulate the transmission and reflection of light. The scientists have been able to engineer human cells that have similar transparent abilities.
It’s been 20 years since professor Iryna Zenyuk left Ukraine, but even as time passes all she remembers is the peaceful childhood she had. “It was very peaceful,” said the UC Irvine engineering [associate] professor. … Recently, Zenyuk, launched a $100,000 fundraising campaign to make UCI the host for at least four Ukrainian scholars and their families. … To help with the fundraiser, the university said it will match donations up to $150,000 and will accept scholars from various disciplines.
The mission of the UCI Engineering Alumni Society is to support and develop the engineering alumni of the University of California, Irvine within the global community. This body will serve to foster mutually beneficial relationships between working engineers, faculty and students. It will also serve to implement programs that embody the entrepreneurial spirit and technical excellence of the campus and alumni.
The following are UC & UC Irvine Policies & Procedures related to travel, gifts, awards, meetings, entertainment, and purchasing.
From cutting-edge research and clinical trials focused on cancer care to creating a new center devoted to protecting personal data privacy, University of California, Irvine scholars, scientists and physicians are blazing new paths to help change the world. … “This research funding milestone surpasses our campus strategic plan goal of $500 million while accelerating UCI's ascent among its Association of American Universities peers as a world-class research university,” [says UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman].
On Wednesday, I’m taking a break my from chemical engineering research to join other UC graduate students in Sacramento. Our message to lawmakers: Graduate students are the engines that drive California innovation – think Tesla, but a whole lot cheaper.
The California Energy Commission has released a UC Irvine roadmap for the buildout and deployment of renewable hydrogen production plants in California to support policy decisions and inform stakeholders. The study concludes that, with appropriate policy support, the renewable hydrogen sector can reach self-sustainability (price point at parity with conventional fuel on a fuel-economy adjusted basis) by the mid- to late-2020s.
"[The program] will enable focused collaboration among biomedical engineers, public health experts, psychological and behavioral scientists, and community members in training a new cadre of professionals devoted to access and equity in cardiovascular health and healthcare," Naomi Chesler, PhD, principal investigator and UC Irvine professor of biomedical engineering, said.

It’s been 20 years since professor Iryna Zenyuk, [engineering associate professor], left Ukraine, but even as time passes all she remembers is the peaceful childhood she had. … Recently, Zenyuk launched a $100,000 fundraising campaign to make UCI the host for at least four Ukrainian scholars and their families. … “For now this is an opportunity for them to come here to continue their research and continue their scientific activities until the war ends,” she said.
Jack Brouwer, an engineering professor at UCI who’s been working with SoCalGas on the project, told students he doesn’t believe we can reach a net-zero carbon climate without hydrogen. And of the pilot project, he said: “I can guarantee you that it will be safe,” … he noted his teams have been safely handling hydrogen in their laboratories for 25 years. …University spokesman Tom Vasich said via email that the school responded to student concerns by verbally directing SoCalGas to move the project out of student housing and dining facilities.
