Gavin Garner joined the University of Virginia faculty in 2009. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from Colby College and Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Virginia in both Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He worked as a mechanical engineer for AMF Bowling Worldwide,...
I am an Associate Professor in Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, at the University of Virginia. My group's research interests are in general related to the fields of haptics, computational neuroscience, human factors and ergonomics, biomechanics, and human–machine...
George T. Gillies received the B.Sc. degree in physics from North Dakota State University, Fargo, in 1974. He then received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in engineering physics in 1976 and 1980 from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, where he is currently a Research Professor of...
Professor Goyne obtained a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D. from the University of Queensland, Australia, in 1991 and 1999, respectively. During his Ph.D. research, Goyne specialized in high-speed aerodynamics, high-speed air-breathing propulsion and instrumentation development. Upon...
Our research group focuses on the synthesis of well-defined nanoparticles, their dispersion into polymer solutions and melts, and their suspension rheology.
First, we study the mechanisms that produce well-defined nanoparticles and then use this knowledge to optimize for a range of...
