Engineering 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.
Dr. Momot worked for a short time as a manufacturing engineer at General Electric's NELA park before obtaining a job with IBM as a design engineer working on printers. After obtaining his doctorate, he went to teach at Virginia Military Institute. After five years at VMI, he went to…
Neeley has been on faculty of the School of Engineering & Applied Science since 1979 and might be best described as a English major who found her calling in engineering. She is inspired by the potential of technology to promote human flourishing and by an understanding of engineering as a potentially ideal combination of practicality and vision.
