Research @ UVA Engineering
Engineering for the Cyber FutureOur researchers are not merely reacting to the cyber age, we are catalyzing it. Machine learning, cybersecurity, high performance computing, intelligent memory systems, avalanche photodiodes, ultra-low-power chips: These are just some of the technologies essential to such next-generation projects as the Internet of Things and 100 Gbps Ethernet, and they are just some of the areas in which UVA Engineering holds world-class expertise.

Prior to joining UVA as an Associate Professor in 2012, Dr. Dong was an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Wright State University. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from UCLA in 2003. After completing his doctorate, he spent three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the George Washington University.
Caroline Crockett

Professor Crockett received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Virginia in 2015 and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2022. Before entering graduate school, she worked in goverment contracting as a systems and image quality engineer. She is a member of IEEE and ASEE.

Chen Cui's current research interests are on spacecraft electric propulsion, space environment, and computational plasma physics. Chen Cui's work focuses on the high-fidelity, fully kinetic modeling of plasma dynamics in spacecraft electric propulsion thrusters, solar wind, and other applications related to low-temperature plasmas.
Teresa B. Culver

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.

Nando Fioretto leads UVA's Responsible AI for Science and Engineering (RAISE) group,
which advances foundation models for scientific and engineering research and
promotes the responsible use of AI.
RAISE's mission is to develop AI models grounded in physical and engineering
principles, endowing them with a principled understanding of the world

Jason Forman

Jason Forman's research includes the development and biofidelity evaluation of anthropomorphic test devices, the execution of impact biomechanics in simulated automobile environments, the development of injury risk functions with dummies and computational models, analysis for injury risk evaluation, and investigating the effects on injury risk.
Geoffrey C. Fox

Geoffrey C. Fox received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University, where he was Senior Wrangler. He is now a Professor in the Biocomplexity Institute & Initiative and Computer Science Department at the University of Virginia, and is currently active in the Industry consortium MLCommons/MLPerf.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
