.@UCmerced Mechanical engineering (@UCMEngineering) Professor Ricardo Pinto de Castro has turned a penchant for systems-level thinking and a longtime love of cars into a climate-resilient research mission @citris_ucmerced. Read more: ucm.edu/v3062i
The @UCMerced team (advised by mechanical engineering Professor Francesco Danzi) won the CITRIS Aviation Excellence award for a simulation for a proposed air transport system among University of California campuses @UCMEngineering @citris_ucmerced. More: ucm.edu/c3l8r2
A @ucmerced @UCMEngineering team competing in a U.S. Department of Energy (@ENERGY) contest won its division with a proposal to use floating solar panels to power the campus's Experimental Smart Farm | with EE Profs. Cheng (advisor) and Kurtz (mentor). ucm.edu/bduz5r
A study published in @CommsEarth by @UCMerced Professors Adebiyi and Abatzoglou (@UCMEngineering @climate_guy) finds that the Central Valley accounts for about 77% of fallowed land in CA and is associated with about 88% of major human-caused dust events. ucm.edu/z82n0n
Digital supply chains use data and analytics to manage flow of goods, services and information; these chains are increasingly interconnected and vulnerable to disruption. More on @UCMerced @UCMEngineering management of complex systems Prof. Yeo's research-ucm.edu/uurwht
U.S. Department of Energy's RENEW (Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce) funds $1.1M program - led by @UCMerced @UCMEngineering CSE Prof. Lu, @UCMerced_NatSci physics Prof. Chien, in collaboration with @BerkeleyLab - to train quantum science workforce. ucm.edu/xvskbu
Innovate To Grow (#I2G) is the School of Engineering's marquee event showcasing @UCMerced @UCMEngineering student ingenuity & entrepreneurship #UCEngineer. Join us today 5/15/25 @ the Gallo Recreation Center/Gym (all day). Schedule: i2g.ucmerced.edu
A team of @ucmerced @UCMEngineering @citris_ucmerced students and their adviser, mechanical engineering Professor Francesco Danzi, have entered the second phase of the 2024-25 CITRIS Aviation Prize design contest! More: ucm.edu/pbsw7t
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted many facets of life (healthcare, school, work etc). A new study by @UCMerced @UCMEngineering researchers shows evidence that the pandemic also fueled an elevated number of wildfires in the U.S. that year. More: ucm.edu/qu1vhb
.@UCMerced @UCMEngineering 's fire and health experts (joined by founder of info app Watch Duty @watchdutyapp) participated in a seminar looking at the dangers of wildfire and importance of reaching people who could be in danger (2025 fire season): ucm.edu/vt81t7
Some of UC Merced’s fire and health experts, joined by the founder of Watch Duty, took part in a seminar on wildfire dangers, the importance of timely information and what the 2025 fire season might look like.🔗 ucm.edu/vt81t7
Congratulations to @UCMEngineering @UCMerced computer science Prof. Pengfei Su on receiving a @NSF CAREER Award for his research on cross-layer performance tuning to enhance deep learning model efficiency. More: ucm.edu/b28zg1
Electrical engineering and computer science Professor Pengfei Su has received a CAREER award for his research on cross-layer performance tuning to enhance deep learning model efficiency. He's the 41st UC Merced researcher to earn an @NSF CAREER award. 🔗 ucm.edu/b28zg1
U.S. News & World Report ranks @ucmerced's School of Engineering and several of its programs in its 2025 Best Graduate Schools rankings. Read more ucm.edu/eddogg 🎉
#InTheNews via @ABC30: Project Nexus stems from a '21 research project by UC Merced alumni and project scientist, Brandi McKuin. Her study found that covering canals with solar panels reduces evaporation while generating power, and brings other benefits. 🔗ucm.edu/ojmyj3
Project Nexus looks to expand solar-over-canal projects statewide. The CA state funded consortium is a public-private-academic partnership between Turlock Irrigation District, Solar AquaGrid, @UCMerced @UCMEngineering and the CA Dept of Water Resources. ucm.edu/8yz5gt
UC Merced's electrical engineering major only started a year ago. But it's already made some significant accomplishments and attracted researchers digging into exciting projects. 🔗ucm.edu/wzj640
A $3.5 million, five-year grant will fund bioengineering Professor Joel Spencer's lab, which is investigating the thymus, a key organ in the human immune system that could help cancer patients and others live longer, healthier lives. 🔗 ucm.edu/1o6u66
Join our final day of #Eweek2025 Engineering Project Technical Demo. @UCMerced @UCMEngineering Vanguard is hosting 8 different 15 minutes presentation in COB1-120 from 6-8PM today.
