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.
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.
