Update: Joe Charbonnet wins UC-wide 2018 Grad Slam Championship [video]
CEE PhD student Joe Charbonnet was named the winner of the UC-wide 2018 Grad Slam Championship.
Last month, Charbonnet placed first, and was the People's Choice winner, in Berkeley's 2018 championship. As Berkeley's champion, he advanced to the UC-wide competition.
Competing students had to explain their research and its value in 3 minutes or less to an audience that was savvy, but unfamiliar with the field.
Scott Moura and Marta Gonzalez co-author Nature Energy article on Electric Vehicles
CEE Professor Scott Moura and CEE Affiliated Professor Marta Gonzalez co-authored "Planning for electric vehicle needs by coupling charging profiles with urban mobility,” which was recently published in Nature Energy, a Nature research journal.
Given the increasing ubiquity of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in the Bay Area, the article aims to assist planning decisions by providing timing recommendations and assigning monetary values to modulations of PEV start and end charging times.
Undergraduates honored with CEE Scholarships and Awards at ASCE Spring Banquet
Each year the CEE Department honors recipients of the CEE Undergraduate Scholarships. These awards, unlike the undergraduate awards available through Berkeley's Financial Aid Office, are awarded by the Department.
This year CEE awarded a total of $26,800 to 14 deserving undergraduates.
Inspired by an MEng assignment, Nelly Alandou pursues art as well as engineering
Nelly Alandou, CEE MEng '18, used a MEng "Career Odyssey" assignment to pursue her alternative life of being an artist, as well as a career in transportation engineering.
Alandou hosted an art exhibition titled "Action Reaction" in April at the International Hotel in San Francisco.
