Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, Colorado School of Mines, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have received a $2 million grant from the Department of Energy to develop solar-powered desalination membranes

A research team led by a UCLA bioengineer has developed a model to predict the extent to which new laboratory-designed antibodies will be able to combat specific human diseases.

With the funding, the new UCLA-led Synthetic Control Across Length-scales for Advancing Rechargeables center, or SCALAR, will help accelerate research on new types of chemistry and materials for rechargeable batteries. The researchers will seek to increase battery capacity, stability and safety.

Using graphene, one of science’s most versatile materials, engineers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have invented a new type of photodetector that can work with more types of light than its current state-of-the-art counterparts. The device also has superior sensing and imaging capabilities.

The UCLA Samueli School of Engineering held its 2018 commencement on Saturday, June 16, at Pauley Pavilion. Approximately 770 bachelor’s degrees, 425 master’s degrees, and 110 doctoral degrees were conferred at the ceremony. More than 9,000 family members and friends of the graduates attended.

Each year the seven departments of the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, and the school as a whole, bestow honors on graduating students who have had distinguished accomplishments and made special contributions .

We are pleased to announce the Honorable Heidi Shyu MS ‘81, Engr ‘82 will address this year’s graduating class at commencement on June 16 at Pauley Pavilion.
