Article Summaries:

  • Berkeley Engineering announced the appointment of five new tenure‑track faculty members this spring, expanding expertise across several departments. Associate Professor Henry Corrigan‑Gibbs (EECS) brings a background in privacy‑enhancing computer systems and cryptography. Professor Igor Jovanovic (Nuclear Engineering) adds experience in nuclear security and energy. Assistant Professor Asir Intisar Khan (EECS) focuses on energy‑efficient 3D integrated electronics. Assistant Professor Scott McCormack (Materials Science & Engineering) studies complex oxides for aerospace applications. Professor Kater Murch (EECS & Physics) works on quantum circuits, non‑Hermitian physics, and quantum sensing. These hires strengthen Berkeley’s research breadth in engineering and physics.
