Message from Magnus
Collaboration is a bridge that spans ideas, concepts and opportunities connecting the Samueli School with external partners in mutually beneficial alliances. To that end, I am happy to report that we have launched the "UCI-National Labs Connections" initiative, with our first partner being Los Alamos National Laboratory.

By leveraging the talent, expertise and commitment across our respective organizations, we will be able to address some of the most important challenges we are facing as a nation. Read on to learn more about this inaugural partnership, as well as other exciting news from the Samueli School.

Best,
Magnus Egerstedt, Ph.D.
