Research @ UVA Engineering

I am interested in Cryptography, Algorithms, and in general Theoretical Computer Science. My current research focuses on accessing large data efficiently and privately. My results cover Oblivious Random Access Machines (RAM), Private Information Retrieval, and Fully Homomorphic Encryption for RAM programs.

Jennifer Lobo's research involves mathematical modeling and stochastic optimization methods to build models that simulate the course of disease. Current projects include optimizing treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes, validating infrastructure decisions for rural tele-cystoscopy clinics, and developing guidelines for small renal masses.

Chang Lou is a tenure-track assistant professor in Department of Computer Science at University of Virginia. His research interests are distributed systems, operating systems, and cloud computing. His work centers on improving system reliability and availability. 

Mohammad Mahmoody's research interests include cryptography, adversarial learning, computational complexity.

Henning Mortveit is an associate professor in the Biocomplexity Institute Initiative. He received his doctorate in mathematics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2000. Before joining ESE he held positions at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and at Virginia Tech.

Angela Orebaugh is an Associate Professor in the Engineering School's Computer Science Department. Her teaching and research blends keeping us safe and secure in the cyber world with a passion for promoting mindful, intentional, engagement with technology.

My research interests are generally in operations research and, more specifically, in stochastic models and stochastic dynamic programming applied to healthcare. My research is in data-driven models for improving decision-making in cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental health, and substance abuse.
