Brouwer directs UCI's Clean Energy Institute and is a national voice on hydrogen and fuel cell technology. His research on electrolysis, renewable hydrogen storage and zero emission power systems informs California utilities and US federal energy policy on how to decarbonise industry, transportation and the electric grid.
Randerson studies wildfires and the global carbon cycle, co-creating the Global Fire Emissions Database used worldwide to track burning and its climate impact. A highly cited member of the US National Academy of Sciences, his satellite based analyses link deforestation, Arctic lightning and permafrost carbon to climate change.
Yassa directs UCI's renowned Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, studying how the hippocampus stores memories and why memory fails in ageing and Alzheimer's disease. His team's neuroimaging and intervention studies, from exercise to olfactory enrichment, translate basic neuroscience into practical strategies for brain health.
