What if you could have a sheet of solar cells so flexible, thin, and clear, that you could simply roll it onto the side of a building? Or even a window? What if solar cells could even be painted on?

The UCLA Samueli School of Engineering welcomes 16 new professors in 2018-19 to a roster that includes more than 30 affiliated faculty members who are part of the National Academy of Engineering and 70 winners of the NSF CAREER Award.

This year was highly competitive for the entering freshman class (read why they selected Samueli here). We received more than 26,200 applications for 775 spots; of those offered admission, 31 percent selected Samueli–a number that continues to increase each year.

UCLA receives $3 million NSF grant for a new graduate education program at the crossroads of data science, mathematics, cryptography, artificial intelligence, genomics, behavior science and social science

3D printers, a virtual reality system, electronics fabrication tools and more will be available, free of charge, for personal projects and group activities.

With the successful launch of their ELFIN satellites, UCLA students’ work studying space weather is just beginning

Scientists have long known that circulating tumor cells, rare cancer cells that are released into the bloodstream, have the potential to provide vital information about a person’s specific cancer.

Five years ago, a group of UCLA undergrads came together with a common goal — to build a small satellite and launch it into space.

Alumnus Mukund Padmanabhan, an accomplished electrical engineer who now works in finance, has made a gift of $500,000 through his foundation to create a new scholarship at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering.

How do we save the planet for future generations? We can start by cleaning up our oceans and bringing potable water to areas that desperately need it–which is exactly what the engineers at UCLA Samueli are pursuing.

UCLA algorithm could lead to next-generation smartphones and other communication devices that send and receive information faster and at higher volumes. Research group has received $2.4 million grant from DARPA to expand the tool’s capabilities.

Materials scientists from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have developed a highly efficient thin-film solar cell that generates more energy from sunlight than typical solar panels, thanks to its double-layer design.
