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.

Garrick Louis
Garrick Louis is Professor of Engineering and Societ and Professor of Systems and Information Engineering at the University of Virginia. He is director of the Small Infrastructure and Development Center and chairs the Community, Engagement, and Opportunity (CEO) committee in the Department of Systems and Information Engineering.
Ji Ma
Ji Ma's research explores using additive manufacturing to create materials with novel properties and incorporating these materials in designed geometry to produce functionally unique parts, focusing on the additive manufacturing of metallic alloys and control of solidification, porosity, residual stress, and micro-to-nano-scale microstructure.
Lin Ma
4D Diagnostics & Thermal-Fluids
Development of novel diagnostics with 4D spatiotemporal resolution to study combustion, propulsion and fluid dynamics
Anne McAlister
My research centers on the intersection of engineering identity, social identity, and social justice for students in higher education.
Stephen J. McDonnell
Stephen McDonnell’s current research interests are centered interfaces relevant to next generation nanoelectronics devices.

Kathryn A. Neeley
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.
Elizabeth J. Opila
Our research focuses on materials for use in extreme environments and can be applied to materials for use in aircraft engines, rocket engines, energy conversion technologies, and thermal protection systems.
Osman E. Ozbulut
Osman Ozbulut is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Virginia.
Jesse Pappas
Jesse Pappas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering and Society. He currently teaches multiple sections of STS 2600: Engineering Ethics and serves as co-director of UVA's Engineering Character Strength Initiative and West Point's Character Assessment Planning Initiative.
Rebecca Pompano
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
