Ten UC researchers have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), among the highest honors in the field.

The awardees represent four University of California campuses — UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UCLA and UC San Diego — along with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Fifteen UC alumni from six campuses are also included in this year’s distinguished group.

NAE membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions in engineering practice, research or education. This includes the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering and fostering innovative approaches to engineering education.

The 2025 class includes 128 members and 22 international members who will be formally inducted in a ceremony at the academy’s annual October meeting.
