COVID-19: School Updates and Resources As the COVID-19 virus has increased its spread within our communities, we must recommit to previously stated safety precautions and be especially vigilant. Read More Training the next generation of scientists Our students bring dynamic ideas, and form the bedrock of our bustling culture of research and discovery. read more Black Lives Matter We empathize with the pain, sadness, and anger that many are feeling and stand in unity with the Black community at this campus and beyond. We also understand that actions speak louder than words, and we vow to do our part to combat anti-Black racism. As a public university, we have the responsibility to support all our communities, including our Black students, alumni, faculty and staff. READ MORE Congratulations to the Class of 2020! This year, UCI granted degrees to 9,907 undergraduate students. And in a testament to the university's dedication to access and affordability, 47 percent of those bachelor’s degrees went to first-generation college students. In place of the large commencement event that normally takes place at the Bren Events Center, graduates were honored during virtual ceremonies. READ MORE Hispanic Heritage Month at Physical Sciences It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, which means from now until October 15th, we’ll be shining lights on the Hispanic and Latinx members of the School of Physical Sciences community, who themselves cast new…read more The People of Physical Sciences, Ep. 2 — Sanjana Sen, Emily Sanders and Kristin GabrielThis is the second episode of The People of Physical Sciences –- a show that’s my chance to hear about who the scientists at our School are, and how they came to be doing the science that they’re…read more Don t rush into a hydrogen economy until we know all the risks to climateThe use of hydrogen as a fuel could make global warming worse by affecting chemical reactions  in the atmosphere, write researchers Michael Prather and Graeme Pearman.read more The UCI School of Physical Sciences advances humanity through a deeper understanding of the physical science that governs the world. Our flagship projects not only directly address some of today’s most fundamental and existential problems, but also strive for their impactful applied solutions. We are dedicated to developing scalable solutions for the problem of climate change. We are home to the the nation’s first Department of Earth System Science, established to quantify changes to our environment and discover ways we can adapt. read more The most exciting frontiers of scientific understanding lie at opposite extremes of size: the microscopic realm of quantum mechanics and macroscopic realm of the galaxy and the universe itself. read more Mathematics, physics, and chemistry provide invaluable 21st-century biomedical tools that allow us to comprehend biology at the most fundamental level and to treat disease with new technologies and a deeper physical understanding than ever before. read more The UCI Department of Chemistry is ranked among the best in the nation. From synthesizing natural products and new nano-materials to discovering molecular mechanisms that regulate the decoding of genetic information, UCI chemists lead cutting-edge research to solve health and environmental problems facing our planet. Learn More The UCI Department of Earth System Science (ESS) was the first in the nation established to quantify changes to our environment and discover ways we can adapt. Research in ESS focuses on how the atmosphere, land and oceans interact as a system and how the Earth will change over a human lifetime. Learn More The UCI Department of Mathematics is home to prominent scholars engaged in teaching, fundamental research, and service to the local community with outreach efforts to foster success in STEM disciplines. The department is a leader in cutting-edge research in pure and applied mathematics. Learn More The UCI Department of Physics Astronomy has a tradition of excellence and is home to world-renowned physicists. Research in the department aims to decipher the makeup of the universe as a whole, to understand the behavior of quantum materials, and to build novel approaches to medical imaging. Learn More University in the nation doing the most for the American dream – The New York Times Departments under UCI Physical Sciences — Chemistry, Earth System Science, Mathematics, Physics Astronomy UCI Physical Sciences was one of the founding schools and opened in the same year with 212 undergraduate students, 55 graduate students, and 22 faculty members across the Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics Astronomy. ESS became the first department in the world dedicated to studying climate change. Dean of Physical Sciences, Chancellor of UCI, and President of the National Academy of Sciences Ralph Cicerone was Dean of Physical Sciences, Chancellor of UCI, and President of the National Academy of Sciences. Through his visionary leadership he brought together top scientists from various disciplines to study and evaluate climate change and, with that, established the Department of Earth System Science. The largest and most advanced private fusion company in the world, TAE Technologies, was founded on ideas developed by UCI physicist Norman Rostoker. Fred Reines received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the neutrino, a new elementary particle that was thought to be undetectable. He was the founding dean of UCI Physical Sciences. F. Sherwood Rowland received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) deplete the ozone layer, work that sparked a worldwide and triumphant effort to close the ozone hole. He was the founding chair of the UCI Department of Chemistry. Ed Thorp, founding professor, Department of Mathematics, is a pioneer of modern probability theory, author of Beat the Dealer, and hedge fund manager.The School of Physical Sciences plays a vital role in Brilliant Future: the campaign for UCI. We seek a historic philanthropic commitment – a school naming gift. Funding of this magnitude will empower the school to elevate its strong academics and research to elite levels of excellence. A naming gift would ensure that we are able to grow our flagship projects, hire the most dynamic and modern faculty to support our students and research growth, provide premier research facilities, attract and support the best students, and deliver comprehensive innovation through intellectual property protection and commercialization. A naming gift would honor the intrepid spirit and interdisciplinary innovation at the heart of our school. Additionally, the impact of a naming gift for Physical Sciences at UCI will have the ability to completely transform our school. Our 50 years of precedence has established a prestigious level of scientific tradition while allowing great flexibility in shaping future outcomes for our school. They chart the farthest corners of the cosmos, and they solve problems right here on Earth, making our faculty truly universal. read more Our students bring dynamic ideas, and form the bedrock of our bustling culture of research and discovery. read more Each of our four top-ranked departments has a tradition of excellence and a vibrancy all its own. read more
