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.
Joe Charles Campbell
Joe Campbell received a B.S. Degree in Physics for the University of Texas at Austin in 1969, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1971 and 1973. Professor Campbell teaches courses on lasers and optoelectronic components. In 2002 Professor was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering.
Coleen Carrigan
Dr. Coleen Carrigan is a Copenhaver Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia. Using ethnography, her research advances knowledge on the allocation of resources, opportunities and respect in US engineering and computer science.
Harsha K. Chelliah
Professor Chelliah is currently serving as the Program Director for Combustion and Fire Systems in the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems at the National Science Foundation (NSF). His research interests are vast and include fundamental investigations on interaction of finite-rate kinetics with transport.
David Chen
David Chen is the founding Managing Director of the Wallace H. Coulter Center for Translational Research at the University of Virginia and Professor of Practice in Biomedical Engineering.
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 UVA Environmental Institute. His research is focused broadly on understanding anthropogenic carbon flows and the ways that CO2 is manipulated, reused, and sequestered in engineered systems.
Chen Cui's current research interests are on spacecraft electric propulsion, space environment, and computational plasma physics. Chen Cui's work focuses on the high-fidelity, fully kinetic modeling of plasma dynamics in spacecraft electric propulsion thrusters, solar wind, and other applications related to low-temperature plasmas.
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.
William Davis
As our technological creations increasingly permeate all that surrounds us, altering our behaviors and bodies in subtle and obvious ways, we ought to ask ourselves:
Robert J. Davis
Davis joined the faculty in Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia in 1990 as an assistant professor, was promoted to associate professor in 1996, and full professor in 2002.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
