UCI Engineering Welcomes Over 1,800...
Interim Dean Faryar Jabbari kicked off Welcome Week by welcoming hundreds of new students at Engineering Gateway on Sept. 22. He congratulated them on making it into one of the most competitive and largest classes to date.
Curing disorders in the brain: Dion...
Imagine placing a neuroelectronic — a soft, transparent film with gold conductors — on a child’s brain and using it to cure that child of epilepsy.
UCI scientists tackle the hidden workforce...
UC Irvine researchers are playing a key role in a new $1 million collaborative project aimed at expanding the future energy workforce, an overlooked vulnerability of the nation's electric grid. The project, "Bridging the Canyons: Exploring Workforce Transitions in Power Generation for Energy Resilience," was recently awarded $1 million by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

UC Irvine Researchers Awarded $3 Million...
Researchers from the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (CALIT2) at UC Irvine have been awarded $3 million in funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to lead a four-year research initiative to transform how the electrical grid harmonizes with privately owned energy assets, such as rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, batteries, and electric vehicles (EVs).
Iryna Zenyuk Wins International Society...
Iryna Zenyuk, UC Irvine professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, has won the Zhaowu Tian Prize for Energy Electrochemistry, an annual global award bestowed by the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) to researchers under the age of 40 for outstanding achievements in electrochemical energy science, storage and conversion.
Tissue-like Implant to Bring Electricity...
Imagine someone charging their pacemaker not with the usual surgery but with just a brief prick of a thin needle. That could soon be possible with a groundbreaking sponge-like material called an Implantable Bioelectronic Outlet (IBO) created by UC Irvine researchers. The IBO is designed to live inside the body and aims to enable devices that are implanted in the body, like pacemakers, to be recharged without surgery.
