Research @ UVA Engineering
Engineering for a Sustainable FutureEngineering a better future will require the best work of researchers collaborating along the spectrum from the tiniest building blocks of materials through the complex workings of entire societal systems. We work at the micro- and nano-scale in fields like heat transfer, catalysis and 2-D materials to identify fundamental properties of matter. Our goal is not simply to conduct research, but to pursue research with positive global impact.

Joshua J. Choi
Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Associate Professor of Physics (by courtesy)
Joshua Choi joined UVa in 2014 and is a recipient of a NASA Early Career Faculty Award (2015). His research group is developing novel and advanced synthetic methods to achieve robust heterostructure formation, surface structure and impurity doping. They seek to understand and control the structure-property relationships in these materials.
Kory Burns is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering starting Summer 2024. Kory obtained a B.S. in Chemistry from Valdosta State University, an M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering (Nuclear Engineering Program).
Liheng Cai
My lab’s research lies at the interface of soft (bio)materials and biology. We seek to understand and control the interactions between soft (bio)materials and living systems to solve challenges in sustainability and health. We do this using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches.
Brad Campbell
Brad is a faculty member in the Computer Science Department, the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, and the Link Lab. His group researchers and develops the next generation of low power, wireless, and secure Internet of Things systems to help make buildings and cities more sustainable.
Coleen Carrigan
Using feminist ethnography, Coleen Carrigan researches broadening participation, combating inequities, and enhancing public engagement in STEM with a particular emphasis on computing
T. Donna Chen
Dr. Chen joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Virginia in August 2015.
Andrés F. Clarens
Andrés Clarens is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UVA and Associate Director of the Pan-University Environmental Resilience Institute. His research is focused broadly on understanding anthropogenic carbon flows and the ways that CO2 is manipulated, reused, and sequestered in engineered systems.
Teresa B. Culver
My lifelong love for the outdoors translated directly into the study of environmental and water resource engineering. At UVa, I have the honor of working with a new generation of engineers who will work to create a sustainable future.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
