When the University of Virginia Office of the Vice President for Research formally announced the 2022 winners of the annual Research Achievement Awards, it’s safe to say the School of Engineering and Applied Science was well represented among their distinguished UVA peers.
Indeed, faculty members from every department in the school were recognized, while UVA Engineering researchers earned three of the nine top individual honors and led the team that won the Research Collaboration Award.
Below is the list of UVA Engineering’s 2022 top Research Achievement Awards winners:
Research Excellence Award
Steven R. Caliari, associate professor of chemical engineering and biomedical engineering
Distinguished Researcher Award
Madhav V. Marathe, professor of computer science, Distinguished Professor of Biocomplexity and division director at the Biocomplexity Institute and Initiative
