The University of California, Irvine’s Samueli School of Engineering has received a “significant” philanthropic pledge from technology entrepreneur Hoang Nhu, CEO and founder of NousLogic Telehealth, and his sister, Thuc Trinh Thi Nhu.
The amount of the pledge was not disclosed in a statement issued by UCI today.
The gift will establish the Nhu Family Endowed Fund, a permanent source of flexible support for the department.
The endowment will empower department leadership to pursue high-impact priorities, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation and breakthroughs.
In recognition of the commitment, the unit will be named the Hoang Nhu Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
