Our faculty are not content to trod well-worn engineering paths. Instead, they are driven to pursue innovations in teaching, research that address truly complex challenges, and to pursue worldwide leadership roles in their fields. See Also: Emeritus Faculty Directory.
Associate Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
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.
Associate Professor, Academic General Faculty, Teaching Track, Applied Mathematics
Hui Ma received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2012. Before joining UVA, she was an assistant professor at Black Hills State University for two years. At UVA, she teaches applied math courses to engineering students. Her goal in teaching is to make mathematics a joyful and successful experience.
Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics, Academic General Faculty, Teaching Track
Asif Mahmood received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University at Buffalo in 2012. Before coming to UVA, he worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Ohio University, as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University, and as Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Assistant Professor, Academic General Faculty, Teaching Track, Center for Applied Mathematics
Deep Maiti instructs Applied Mathematics courses and our cornerstone first year Engineering Foundations course sequence. He also serves as a first year academic advisor, working closely with the Dean’s Office. His current research interests are in the field of using statistical tools in educational research.

Assistant Professor, Academic General Faculty, Teaching Track, First-Year Engineering Center
My research centers on the intersection of engineering identity, social identity, and wellbeing for engineering students in higher education, with a focus on first-year engineering students.
After growing up and attending college in Wheaton, IL, I lived in England for three years before moving to Los Angeles for my PhD and from there to Charlottesville. My math research is about algebraic structures motivated by the search for an interesting 4D topological quantum field…
