AirUCI Project Scientists Dr. Lisa Wingen and Dr. Veronique Perraud have organized regular meetings to discuss using the IGOR lab apparatus after a very successful meeting in late August.  The goal is to hold these tutorials on the first Tuesday of each month through December, with the next meeting to be held on November 5th from 3 - 4:30 pm in Rowland Hall room 390. 

On November 4th, AirUCI faculty Sarah Finkeldei will give a Special Chemistry Seminar:entitled "Insights into the role of complex oxides in nuclear energy applications".  The talk will be held at at 4:00 pm in ISEB 1200.

AirUCI faculty Jack Brouwer will speak on hydrogen as an energy source as part of the Newport Beach Public Library's speakers series. The talk, entitled "California's Energy Future: Is Hydrogen the Answer?" is free of charge and will be held at 7:00 pm on October 16th. Details and registration

The 40th Annual Informal Gathering on Atmospheric Science and Photochemistry (IGASP), formerly ISKPPA, will be held at UC San Diego on October 4th, 2024.  Numerous AirUCI researchers will attend the conference and present their research findings. IGASP is a one-day symposium and a cherished tradition that unites the Southern California (and southwest) region in highlighting our outstanding research in air pollution, atmospheric science, and photochemistry.  Early registration is encouraged as there is always limited space available at...

On October 3rd, AirUCI will host a visit from Dr. Yaowei Li of NOAA who will visit with AirUCI researchers and give a talk entitled, "New Insights into Aerosol Properties, Perturbations, and Radiative Effects in the Stratosphere and Upper Troposphere".  The lecture will be held at 3:00 pm in Rowland Hall room 390.

AirUCI faculty Andrea de Vizcaya Ruiz will be among the presenters at the fall regional meeting of the Southern California Chapter of the Society of Toxicology (SCCSOT). This year’s meeting, themed “Modern Perspectives in Toxicology,” will be held October 3, 2024 at Edwards Life Sciences in Irvine, CA.  Andrea will present the findings from our collaborative brakes and tires project. Additional details regarding the agenda will be provided soon. Please ...

On August 8th the annual UC Irvine SoCal Undergraduate Chemistry Symposium was held at the ISEB.  This all-day event is a presentation of the latest in chemistry research conducted by undergrads, and three of AirUCI's students in the Finlayson-Pitts group participated:  Katelyn Pacaud, Mariam Parvinian, and Ellie Wingen.  All three had quite a lot of interest in their poster presentations among symposium attendees.

On July 12th AirUCI will host a visit from high school students from the ALMA Academy in Santa Ana.  ALMA is an educational organization under GREEN-MPNA, AirUCI's non-profit partner.  About a dozen of their science students will tour five of our labs in Chemistry and ESS and will hear presentations about our research projects.
