Walter Mérida discusses how high-tech data could speed transit buses, save fuel and time
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2016/11/17 4:29)
|
Walter Merida, Director of the UBC Clean Energy Research Centre, and MECH prof was interviewed by the Vancouver Sun about the future of transit.
He said next-generation electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles should be the next step for transit agencies to improve efficiency and sustainability, and utilizing the ?Internet of Things? should also be a priority.
?The basic premise is that right now vehicles are already connected; already communicating with other vehicles, but the next logical step is, of course, the vehicles (getting) connected to the city?s infrastructure,? he said.

November 2016 Student Spotlight: Dylan Feldman,?16
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2016/11/3 6:39)
|
Name: Dylan Feldman
Major: Double major in Theater & Performance Studies and Computer Science
Year: 5th Year Senior
When did you first become interested in lighting design?
I?ve been involved in theater lighting since my freshman year of high school. My theater teacher basically said, ?We need another lighting designer because ours is graduating.? So I said yes on a whim, and then ended up loving it and deciding to pursue it professionally. I knew when I entered Cal that I wanted to study lighting design, so I sought out TDPS and enrolled in all the design courses I could.
What is it about lighting design that attracts you?
I?ve actually thought about this a lot. Halfway through tech week, I always get really tired and grumpy, thinking, ?Why am I doing this? It?s so stressful and long and I could be doing so many other things.? But what I?ve realized is that I really like coming together with a bunch of different people, often strangers, to make something ...

Julia Fawcett, Assistant Professor and Performance Studies/History scholar, is the newest member of TDPS’s faculty. She comes to UC Berkeley from Ryerson University in Toronto.
Picture a venn diagram. If the circle on the left is Theater History and the circle on the right is Performance Studies, the overlapping section in the middle is the research home of Julia Fawcett, the newest member of TDPS?s faculty. Julia, who comes to UC Berkeley from Ryerson University in Toronto, self-identifies as a ?Performance Historian? and her research interests focus primarily on theater history and performance studies in the context of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Says Julia, ?I?m interested in what was happening onstage during this time period, but I am also interested in performances that were taking place outside of the theater.?
Julia?s research requires her to be part researcher, part detective, and part investigative journalist. For example, her current research pro ...
