Many of UCLA’s most well-known energy and sustainability experts- including Grand Challenges leader, Associate Vice Chancellor for Environment and Sustainability Mark Gold, and James Liao (department of Chemistry and Biochemistry), and Rajit Gadh (UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) – participated in the UCLA-Tata Global Forum. The event, which was jointly initiated by UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and Chairman of Tata Trusts Ratan Tata, demonstrates how UCLA’s research on the environment, energy and sustainability- showcased in the Sustainable LA Grand Challenge- is relevant to megacities worldwide.
