Dr. Rita Blaik is the Education Director of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, where she assists in Education and Outreach activities for MIP.
Professor Chemistry and Biochemistry UC Los Angeles
Boyer Hall 659
We are working toward a sustainable, carbon-negative chemical industry by building robust enzyme systems to convert simple biomass into more complex chemicals.
Professor Chemistry and Biochemistry UC Los Angeles
Boelter 4531K
We study life-like biochemical systems to understand their fundamental properties and address emerging challenges in biotechnology and infectious disease.
Distinguished Professor Chemical Engineering UC Santa Barbara
3105 MRL Building
The Fredrickson group has pioneered a new class of computer simulation techniques based on molecularly-informed statistical field theories. Such field-theoretic simulations enable the investigation of classical soft material and quantum many-body systems at an unprecedented range of length and timescales.
Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering UC Santa Barbara
EII 2332
Our research focuses on the intersection of design, mechanics, and materials. We develop novel mechanisms and apply non-traditional materials to solve challenging problems in robotics, medicine, and biomechanics.
Professor Chemical Engineering UC Santa Barbara

Prof. Helgeson is an expert in rheological and structural characterization of soft materials, including the development of new high-throughput methods for microrheology.
Outreach Lead, UCSB Center for Science and Engineering Partnerships UC Santa Barbara
1205 Elings Hall
Fostering collaborations between science and engineering researchers and the larger community to promote STEM education and career awareness to a diverse student population.
I am broadly interested in the functional particles that are influenced by and adapt to the complex environment they are in, and how an understanding of these systems enable us to design functional soft materials.
Research Computing Administrator Center for Scientific Computing UC Santa Barbara
MRL, 2066B
I focus on facilitating varied and optimal usage of high performance computational resources to a diverse scientific audience, all the while keeping the hardware happy.
Ellie works with program coordinators to help them clarify their goals, and determine what kind of outcomes to expect when program goals are accomplished.
Professor Chemical Engineering UC Santa Barbara
