YEARS of INNOVATION 1945 -2015

FROM THE DEAN The Birthplace of the Internet and reverse osmosis water treatment technology. The launching pad of pioneering work in aviation and aerospace engineering, clean energy, and the development of semiconductors that have changed the way the world communicates. These are just a few of the achievements of what is today the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, and was at first – 70 years ago – the UCLA College of Engineering. Perhaps most importantly, UCLA Engineering has produced more than 40,000 rigorously trained engineers who have made and continue to make profound contributions around the globe. And we are only getting started. As the 2015-16 academic year begins, we have the largest number of students in our history. We have the highest number of full-time faculty in our history. The north wing of our new building, Engineering VI, is open, adding some of the most advanced engineering research space in the world.

We have just completed a record-breaking year in fundraising. Alumni and friends of the school contributed nearly $42.6 million in 2014-15 to support our mission. Providing an excellent engineering education, conducting groundbreaking research, and performing vital service to society and the nation – these are the goals of UCLA Engineering. For the past 14 years, it has been my honor and privilege to champion these goals as leader of the school. At the end of this calendar year, I will leave the dean’s office and turn my full attention again to teaching and research. I’d like to thank all who contribute to the school’s remarkable success – students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, industry partners and the University of California. I am confident that UCLA Engineering’s greatest achievements are yet to come.

BREAKTHROUGHS

A BIG STEP TOWARD BETTER FUEL CELLS YU HUANG, Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering

ddressing problems that have stalled the adoption of fuel-cell technology,

researchers have developed a more efficient and durable nanostructure for

a catalyst in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. An alloy of platinum, an

expensive material, and nickel is typically used to catalyze chemical processes in this technology, which produces electricity by causing oxygen from the

air and hydrogen fuel to react, producing only water as its exhaust. UCLA

researchers used a technique called “surface doping,” in which they added a

third metal, molybdenum, to the platinum-nickel nanostructures. The change

made the alloy surface more stable, and the metal compound is 81 times more efficient than catalysts made from a commercial compounds. n

A platinum-nickel-molybdenum compound could be used for eco-friendly automobiles and other clean-energy applications.

Finding the Key to TOUGHER GLASS AND CEMENT MATHIEU BAUCHY, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering

esearchers have identified the optimal conditions for strengthening the

molecular bonds in liquid materials cooled into a stable state, such as glass

and cement. The breakthrough could lead to more durable display screens,

fiber optic cables, windows and construction materials. By performing UCLA ENGINEER |

computer simulations to test the molecular dynamics of these materials,

researchers at UCLA and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie identified a

range of pressures in the manufacturing process best for achieving “thermal A rendering of the molecular structure of sodium disilicate glass. Researchers have identified optimum conditions for producing more durable glass.

reversibility,” in which a material retains the same properties it had when it was produced even if it has been exposed over time to variations in temperature. n

MONITORING FOOD INTAKE for Better Nutrition MAJID SARRAFZADEH, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science

necklace developed by UCLA researchers can monitor food and drink

intake, unobtrusively helping wearers track and improve their dietary habits.

The device, called WearSens, could help battle obesity, heart disease and

diabetes. The necklace rests loosely above the sternum, using piezoelectric

sensors to capture vibrations from the action of swallowing. The information is translated using a spectrogram, which offers a visual representation of the vibrations. Researchers also created an algorithm that

app. WearSens can differentiate with high accuracy

between solids and liquids, hot and room-temperature

drinks, and food items with different textures. n

QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT to Tap the Power of Photons CHEE WEI WONG, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering

esearchers have demonstrated a method of harnessing photons that are

connected to each other and act in unison, no matter how far apart they are

— a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement.

Quantum entanglement could allow users to know immediately whether

cepted or altered.

A pair of photons, or light particles, can be sliced and entangled into

multiple dimensions using quantum properties such as the photons’ energy

and spin. This method, called hyperentanglement, could allow each photon

pair to send much denser packets of information along existing networks. n

YOU CAN HELP BUILD THE FUTURE! Support the Alumni Legacy Campaign for Engineering VI and See Your Name on Display in the Lobby The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science completed the first phase of Engineering VI, a state-of-the-art education and research facility, in early 2015. The second and final phase of construction is under way, and is scheduled to be completed in 2017. Engineering VI will be a showcase for the school, and a catalyst for developing the engineering leaders and technological solutions to address the great challenges of our times. With limited support coming from the

state, the majority of funding for Engineering VI must come from private donations. You can help build on UCLA Engineering’s history of excellence by contributing to the Alumni Legacy Campaign for Engineering VI.

MILLION

The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science had a recordbreaking year for fundraising in 2014-15, bringing nearly $42.6 million to the school. The funds support student scholarships, faculty chairs, research, and the school’s cutting-edge new building, Engineering VI. The $42.6 million surpassed UCLA Engineering’s previous record of nearly $37 million, set in 1999-2000, when Henry Samueli ’75, MS ’76, PhD ’80 and Susan Samueli made a landmark $30 million gift. Several donors committed to gifts in excess of $1 million. They include: ■■

B. John Garrick MS ’62, PhD ’68, and Amelia Garrick, $9 million to support the B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences in Engineering VI

Stepping Up to STEM Education Giving tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineers a head start, the UCLA Henry Samueli School of

Engineering and Applied Science hosts several programs for youth through its Engineering Science Corps.

High School Summer Tech Camp allows teens to work on a design

engineering project and get a taste of college life under the guidance of UCLA Engineering faculty and undergraduate mentors. The camp is held at the

Student Creativity Center, a 5,000-square-foot technology sandbox on campus. The High School Summer Research Program is designed for high school

juniors preparing to pursue an engineering education. In this eight-week

program, participants work alongside faculty and students in UCLA Engineering labs, attend faculty presentations and meet with the dean of the school.

UCLA Engineering also offers an Online Tutoring and Mentoring Program to

high school students taking STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) courses. Mentors visit high school campuses and host the twice-annual UCLA Engineering Day.
