Research @ UVA Engineering

UVA Engineering researchers have successfully shown for the first time that optical sensors can control a hypersonic jet engine.

Christopher Goyne, hypersonics innovator and associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, makes the list along with two UVA Engineering alumni.

Newly appointed faculty members will add even more strength and momentum to mechanical and aerospace engineering advancements as they assimilate into the School’s accomplished hypersonic research team

Gao's groundbreaking work in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and extensive industry collaborations have propelled aerospace technology forward.

Associate Professor Christopher P. Goyne is featured in Airman Magazine. His lab is providing valuable data to help develop technologies for the extreme environment of hypersonic flight.
