A third-year Ph.D. candidate at UC Santa Barbara, Alex Dinkelacker received the Best Paper Award at the 21st European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC) in London, for his presentation of, “A Concurrent D-Band Radar and O-Band Lidar FMCW Receiver in 45-nm CMOS-Photonic.” 

Advised by James Buckwalter, a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering, Alex is integrating radar and LiDAR onto a single chip. Alex’s work points toward compact, multi-modal sensing for autonomy and beyond — with potential applications in self-driving cars and drones helping them navigate challenging conditions like smoke, fog and rain.

UCSB CHEMICAL ENGINEERING IS MAKING WAVES!

For pioneering clean energy solutions to shaping a more sustainable future, Professor J. Tyler Mefford has been named a 2026 Packard Fellow for Science and Engineering! 🎉

One of the most prestigious honors for early-career scientists and engineers, the fellowship provides $985,834 over five years to support bold, innovative research. And Professor Mefford is putting that opportunity toward a challenge that matters to us all: making renewable energy more reliable and affordable. 

His research explores electrochemical methods to store renewable energy in liquid organic molecules — helping tackle the challenge of saving excess energy when the sun shines and the wind blows, so it can be used when we need it most.

Big ideas. Groundbreaking science. A cleaner energy future. And one incredible Gaucho pushing the boundaries of what's possible!

Congratulations Professor Mefford! 👏

UCSB engineering students took on a real-world challenge — designing an autonomous delivery system combining a drone and a ground vehicle. The result? Three consecutive West Coast division wins in Raytheon’s Autonomous Vehicle Competition!

From AI to robotics, students are turning classroom knowledge into real-world solutions and building skills for the future.

What skill do you think matters most when taking an engineering project from concept to reality? Tell us in the comments!

What happens when researchers put AI to work across different fields? At UCSB Library’s AI in Action event, researchers explored how artificial intelligence was transforming the way we understand, learn, and conduct research.

The conversation featured Miguel Eckstein, Mellichamp Chair in Mind and Machine Intelligence and Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Arpit Gupta, Assistant Professor of Computer Science. They shared insights into how AI was being applied to research while exploring its possibilities, challenges, and broader impact.

💡 Different disciplines. Different questions. One rapidly evolving technology.

☀️ A warm welcome, UCSB ECE style!

Our ECE first-years kicked off their UCSB journey with a special Welcome Lunch at Goleta Pier—good food, ocean views, and plenty of opportunities to connect with classmates, faculty, and the ECE community. 🌊

From meeting new friends to soaking in the Santa Barbara sunshine, it was the perfect way to celebrate the start of a new chapter. Here’s to a year filled with curiosity, connection, collaboration, and unforgettable memories!

Welcome to the ECE family, Gauchos!

Two perspectives. One powerful conversation. Where does research meet real-world impact?

At the UCSB Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Symposium, keynote speaker Jagdeep Singh, Ph.D., brought together the twin perspectives of industry and academia, highlighting the journey from groundbreaking research to real-world application.

A materials science and process scale-up expert, Singh draws on extensive experience in polymers, membranes, filtration, surface engineering, and manufacturing scale-up to explore how ideas move beyond the lab and become practical solutions.

🔬 For graduate students, the message is clear: Research is only part of the journey. Understanding how to translate scientific discoveries into scalable, real-world applications is just as important.

🤝 By bringing academia and industry into conversation, the symposium creates opportunities to exchange ideas, build connections, and explore how research can shape the future.
