Jean-Luc Gaudiot Honored with the IEEE...
Jean-Luc Gaudiot, UC Irvine Distinguished Professor of electrical engineering and computer science, was honored with the Richard E. Merwin Award for Distinguished Service from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society. Named after Merwin, a pioneer in the field of digital computer engineering, the service award recognizes those who contribute outstanding service to the profession, the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society.
Can Wearable Tech Finally Get Blood...
Blood pressure is one of the most important measurements in healthcare. Yet how we track it hasn’t changed much in more than a century.
Is This the Breakthrough Drug Development...
Modern drug discovery is better than it’s ever been. We can sequence genomes in hours, predict how proteins behave, and design molecules with increasing precision.
From Concept to CAREER Award
Funding from the National Science Foundation plays an essential role at UC Irvine in advancing critical research spanning topics from brain health and AI to wildfire mitigation, water quality and shifting social dynamics. Securing this highly competitive funding, however, requires navigating a complex pathway – one that can be daunting for early career faculty members working to bring new research ideas from concept to award.
Grosberg Creates Way to Research Sex-based...
Anna Grosberg, UCI professor of biomedical engineering, and Ph.D. student Mary Tran have made the first characterization of the difference between male and female neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) in vitro tissues. Their work was just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and offers a way to study sex-based variations in cardiac tissues and function.
A Smartphone App Could Change How Stroke...
In assessing stroke patient rehabilitation, clinicians have largely relied on their eyes to measure how well a stroke patient can move, grasp and let go. But what if a pocket-sized tool could capture every motion, quantify progress and provide new insight — all in the time it takes to open an app?

Aghasi’s Team Wins a Student Paper...
Electrical engineering and computer science graduate student Md Hedayatullah Maktoomi received second place for his research paper in the 2026 IEEE MTT-S Student Paper Competition. The award was announced at the IEEE Radio Wireless Symposium (RWS) in January 2026 in Hollywood.
Widening Beaches Make California 500...
Southern California's beaches have grown more than 500 acres over the past four decades despite being one of the most heavily urbanized and dammed coastal regions in the world, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, the U.S. Geological Survey and other institutions. The conventional wisdom-challenging revelation about coastal erosion and replenishment is the subject of a study published recently in Nature Communications.
UC Irvine Researchers Develop an ML-powered,...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a multimodal, bioelectronic wrist-worn device for objective, continuous, real-time monitoring of stress. Outlined in a paper published in Nature Communications, the Smart Quantitative and Comprehensive Stress Assessor and Sub-Classifier simultaneously tracks molecular stress biomarkers alongside physiological stress indicators, providing a complete and precise picture of how stress is experienced by humans.
