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, Civil and Environmental EngineeringAssociate Chair for Academic Programs
My lifelong love for the outdoors translated directly into the study of environmental and water resource engineering. At UVa, I have the honor of working with a new generation of engineers who will work to create a sustainable future.
Assistant Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
W. Streit Cunningham is an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His research integrates automation and high-throughput experimentation to accelerate the discovery of materials for extreme environments, including those encountered in nuclear and aerospace applications.
Hadi Daneshmand is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science who works at the intersection of theory and practice in AI (machine learning). He leverages analytical tools to uncover the mechanisms underlying AI systems, characterize their limitations, and design reliable and interpretable models.
