Williams' completed my Ph.D. in materials physics at Penn State University in 2001, and undertook postdoctoral research in the Molecular Biophysics Group at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, thereafter establishing a nanophysics laboratory in the physics department at the University of Virginia.
Professor of Radiology and Medical Imaging, Biomedical Engineering, and Physics
Mark B. Williams received his PhD in physics at UVa in 1990. Following several years with the UVa Physics Department as a Research Scientist he joined the Radiology faculty. His lab applies physics principles to the design and development of systems for medical imaging.
Research interests include: Applied and Theoretical Cryptography, Computer Security David Wu received his PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2018 and in January 2019 joined the University of Virginia as an Assistant Professor.
I am a social scientist who studies how people work together to learn about nature and technology. In particular, recognizing the crucial contributions of technicians, students, and community members can help us build more inclusive, equitable, and socially beneficial research teams.
Matheus is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. His research interests include AI, Algorithmic Economics, and Security. He applies artificial intelligence, optimization, and theoretical computer science tools to create secure, transparent, and auditable platforms.
