Students who arrive at UC Merced planning on specific careers often discover along the way that their interests — and strengths — are broader than they first imagined.
A new initiative called Education Tracks, or EdTracks, is designed to give students a flexible, low‑risk way to...

Editor’s Note: As of mid-February, UC Merced’s graduate student applications increased by 6.6 percent over last year. This press release reports a 41 percent increase, which at the time (Jan. 18) was...
The small-scale, cutting-edge work of graduate student Eric Josephs and chemistry Professor Tao Ye is providing an up-close look at the behavior of biomolecules.
The two UC Merced researchers hope to...
Ph.D. candidate Emily Wilson discovered her passion for research in the natural sciences as an undergraduate student, fueled by a collaboration with the engineering dean and her powerful creative...
Professor Carolin Frank is concerned with the inner lives of trees.
She looks inside them to see whether microbes are part of – and perhaps even critical to – life functions such as growth.
“It’s a...
Professor Christine Isborn is doing quantum chemistry at the speed of graphics.
Isborn is using the same graphics computer cards (graphical processing units, or GPUs) that make your Playstation...
Counting the number of species that live in the Earth’s oceans sounds as impossible as counting the grains of sand on a beach.
But a global collaboration involving a UC Merced researcher and a...
More than two dozen UC Merced undergraduates spent the summer exploring a tiny but hot topic — materials 100,000 times slimmer than a human hair that are poised to revolutionize sensing, data...
Chemistry Professor Jason Hein and his students make a lot of compounds in the lab.
They also make a lot of chemical waste.
But Hein found a way to clean up the waste and reuse it, saving money and...
Professor Fabian Filipp is trying to put up roadblocks. But instead of stopping cars, he’s trying to keep cancers from growing.
Filipp, a systems biology professor who started at UC Merced this fall...
