This includes such topics as social epistemology, intellectual virtue, political epistemology, epistemology of law, medical epistemology, epistemology of cognitive science,…

Movement science encompasses a wide range of traditionally separate research fields, including muscle biochemistry, molecular biology and biophysics, materials science, neuroscience, biomechanics, kinesiology, exercise physiology and sports science, rehabilitation medicine, rehabilitation engineering, mechatronics, and bio-inspired robotics. We aim to bridge the gaps between ‘top-down’ approaches that focus on whole-organism behavior and ‘bottom-up’ approaches that characterize…

As and informal interdisciplinary group, the center currently brings together faculty and researchers from the departments civil and environmental engineering and earth system science in the university of California, Irvine. Our group jointly conducts research aiming to advance the knowledge of the water and energy cycle at scales ranging from the local watersheds to continental…
