Since the 1980s, Bryan pioneered the anthropology of technology (AoT). His influential works, cited over 5,000 times, emphasize technology's socio-cultural context. At UVA, he shaped AoT using interdisciplinary insights. Key publications apply anthropological theories to technology's cultural impact, referencing concepts like those of Victor Turner

Dr. Shiflet's primary interests are in the kinetics and thermodynamics of phase transformations in crystalline and amorphous solids with particular emphasis on the atomic mechanism involved.Interaction potential models are used to compare experiment with theory. Results are extended to microstructure-property relationships.
