ENGINEER CHANGE
After a high school classmate committed suicide, Sahen Rai, a first-year computer science student, is using his skills to help boost mental health. We are committed to helping our students engineer change.

Watch how else we are engineering change.

 


BREAKTHROUGHS

research with next-gen membranes

In the 1950s, UCLA engineers developed the first reverse osmosis membrane. We are continuing their research with next-gen membranes.
 

understand and control the body's autoimmune response

In autoimmune disease, the immune system goes into overdrive. We are researching better ways to understand—and control—the body's autoimmune response.
 

energy efficient computing systems

With a $5.9 million DARPA grant, we are trailblazing energy efficient computing systems to process data faster than what’s currently possible.
 

enhancing CAR T-cell therapy

By heating solid tumors, we are enhancing CAR T-cell therapy that could improve the prognosis for people with hard-to-treat cancer.
