Henry Samueli, Distinguished Adjunct Professor of electrical engineering and computer science and namesake of the Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, has been named a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The organization, which inducted 15 innovators for 2026, recognized Samueli for his achievements in the field of advanced broadband communications, including developing technologies that have allowed affordable, high-speed digital data transmission to homes and businesses.
Three Engineering Faculty Named Highly...
UC Irvine Chancellor’s Professor Amir AghaKouchak, and Distinguished Professors Xiaoqing Pan and A. Lee Swindlehurst have been named Highly Cited Researchers by the Clarivate Web of Science. The award honors professors who have published papers that rank in the top 1% by citation in their field, demonstrating significant influence and leadership in their field.
ASUCI President Ethan Martinez’s Message...
Ethan Martinez is a biomedical engineering senior and leads the 37,000-strong undergraduate student body as president of the Associated Students of UC Irvine (ASUCI). What would you like to say to new Anteaters?
UCI Team Collaborates on $15M Grant...
Each week, people in Los Angeles and San Francisco are taking more than 100,000 rides in self-driving vehicles, known as robotaxis. “As autonomous cyber-physical systems, such as autonomous cars, drones, and rovers, are increasingly used in everyday life, the security vulnerabilities of such systems are becoming more exposed to real-world attackers,” says Alfred Chen, a professor of computer science at UC Irvine.
UC Irvine Scientists Track and Analyze...
In the chaos of a wildfire, heat, wind, flames and fuel interact to produce embers that are lofted into surrounding areas, starting new spot fires and spreading destruction and property loss in California’s wildland-urban interface. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have conducted first-of-their-kind field experiments to better understand the physics of these firebrands, and their results can help authorities better model the outcomes of disasters that are happening with greater frequency in a warming climate.
Engineering Students Showcase Musical...
The Creophone, Wube Tubes and Saxatars were just some of the cool creations by engineering students who had to meet a challenge: invent a new musical instrument for a UCI contest. Their inspirations included harnessing brainwaves, capturing the wind and upcycling instrument parts.
Air Force Grants 1.5 Million to UCI...
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research, under its Defense University Research Instrumentation Program, has granted materials scientists at UC Irvine $1.5 million for the acquisition of sophisticated nanomechanical and chemical characterization equipment for biomaterial analysis and a 3D printing platform to be used and biomimetic processing. Combined with existing tools in the laboratory of principal investigator David Kisailus, UCI professor of materials science and engineering, these new instruments will facilitate high-speed nanomechanical testing of materials under extreme temperatures (from cryogenic to ultrahot), nanometer-resolution Fourier transform infrared mapping via an atomic force microscope and a high-resolution, direct-ink-write multimaterial printer.
