The program drew from the expertise of more than two dozen speakers from film and television studios, law firms, talent agencies, new media powerhouses and venture capital companies.
The annual awards recognize technology projects that demonstrate the program’s values, including innovation, collaboration and operational efficiency, and that advance UC’s teaching, research, health care,and public service missions.
Anke Audenaert, an assistant adjunct professor of marketing at UCLA’s Anderson School, never planned on working in the tech industry. But after spending more than 15 years working at various tech companies, she has charted a path to success in that field.
The University of California was honored Tuesday as one of the world’s most innovative institutions by Clarivate Analytics, a data and analysis company that spun off from Thomson Reuters.
The device, developed by UCLA’s Aydogan Ozcan and colleagues in Sweden, could be manufactured for less than $500 each — far less expensive than the equipment that labs use for the same tests.
