Berkeley Mechanical Engineering
@BerkeleyME
Berkeley Mechanical Engineering is one of the top-ranked ME programs in the nation, and our faculty and students represent the best & brightest.
Our new publication "Flaming vs. smoldering emissions of pine needles under limited oxygen and fuel moisture conditions" is out in the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute. We show how emissions vary under changing conditions often experienced in fires. buff.ly/4fmAb8l
Last October, #BerkeleyME had our 2nd Annual Alumni Event during @Cal Homecoming Weekend. We hope you'll join us again this year on October 3rd! #MEgaGive #CalBigGive give.berkeley.edu/me
We love hearing from #BerkeleyME alumni! #MEgaGive #CalBigGive give.berkeley.edu/me Thank you to alum Ike Hsu for his contributions!
Jasleen & Hardeep Gulati give to Cal bc of "the aerospace clubs and labs that have provided incredible opportunities to be hands-on." Their generous support helped the department acquire a 3D metal printer and wind tunnel. #CalBigGive #MEgaGive give.berkeley.edu/me
POV: Bingo is staring at you while she's patiently waiting for you to hit that donate button for #CalBigGive #MEgaGive Act Meow! give.berkeley.edu/me
Your #MEgaGive donations can make a lasting impact on ME students! We're grateful for donors like Joe Decuir who, in honor of his father, enabled the department to acquire a 3D metal printer with his generous gift. What will your impact be? give.berkeley.edu/me #CalBigGive
In the wise words of #BerkeleyME Prof. Schutzius' daughter Mae, "You got this!" Go Bears! 💙💛 #MEgaGive #CalBigGive Let's goooo! give.berkeley.edu/me
Today is the #CalBigGive! Help #BerkeleyME reach 25 donations to unlock a #MEgaGive donation from Arthur and Luisa Li, which will support department needs like lab equipment and professional conferences for students! give.berkeley.edu/me

I am happy to share that I will be starting a new position as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at @UCBerkeley in January 2025. @BerkeleyME @Cal_Engineer
In nature, one life ends when another begins. Material degradation becomes functional repurpose and upgrade, mediating natural ecology. A new project from @MorphingMatLabled by @Dr_Qiuyuand Semina Yi, @BerkeleyME @Cal_Engineer @UCBerkeley morphingmatter.org/projects/dtf
#BerkeleyME is seeking candidates for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in the core areas of Dynamics or Fluid Mechanics. Apply by November 15th! me.berkeley.edu/faculty/me-ope…
Results of our collaboration with @ICAPneu published in ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. Prolonged exposure to wildfire smoke, which we helped re-create in the laboratory, results in decreased lung function, similar to what occurs with emphysema. dx.doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

Engineering Student Services is hiring a peer adviser majoring in **mechanical engineering** for the Fall 2024-Spring 2025 academic year! Applications will be open until July 28: bit.ly/3VZWpVL.
This week, on The (Not So) Secret Guide to being a Berkeley Engineer podcast, ESS advisor Kendra Van Nyhuis and student, Simon Gonzalez share with us the amazing experience that awaits you studying abroad. Listen now: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or website, bit.ly/4cil3qx.
Berkeley Fire Lab members are presenting 5 papers at @Combustion_Intl #40thISOC in Milan this week. Fire whirls, wildfire emissions, microgravity fires, WUI fire spread models, and ember generation.
New publication out on the Smoldering ignition and transition to flaming in wooden mulch beds exposed to firebrands under wind in the Fire Safety Journal. First in a series of work where we investigated the flammability of wooden mulches in California. doi.org/10.1016/j.fire…
First experiment of the @UCBerkeley -led Material Ignition and Spread Test on the @ISS_Research is getting ready to start in the next ~15 minutes. science.nasa.gov/biological-phy… Will post updates once we start! @NASA
