Ammasi Periasamy
Professor of Biology and Biomedical Engineering Center Director-WM Keck Center for Cellular Imaging
Dr. Periasamy is a global authority in advanced microscopy, specializing in molecular imaging in living cells and tissues. He designs optical methods to study protein interactions, monitor cancer cell/tissue parameters, and pioneered fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) development.
Matthew J. Lazzara
Work in the Lazzara Lab employs a combination of experimental and computational methods to study problems in cell signaling, the complex biochemical process cells use to make decisions.
Kyusang Lee
Kyusang Lee is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering departments at University of Virginia. He received his B.S. degree from Korea University in 2005, M.S. degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2009, and Ph.D. degree from University of Michigan in 2014, all in Electrical Engi
Jundong Li
Li's research interests are generally in AI, Data Mining, and Machine Learning. As a result of his research work, he has published over 150 papers in high-impact venues. He has won several prestigious awards, and his work is supported by NSF, DOE, ONR, JP Morgan, Netflix, Cisco, and Snap.
Emily McCain, Ph.D.
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Dr. Silvia Blemker's M3 laboratory at UVA, Emily McCain is working toward the development of sex-specific musculoskeletal models to investigate how sex differences affect muscle function during movement.
Craig H. Meyer, Ph.D.
Kristen Naegle, Ph.D.
Kristen Naegle uses data- and computational-driven approaches to predict, and experimental approaches to test, the regulation and function of tyrosine phosphorylation in complex networks.
N. Rich Nguyen
Jason Papin, Ph.D.
Jason Papin, Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, develops computational models of cellular networks and performs experiments to characterize biological systems relevant to human disease. After his training in Bioengineering at University of California, San Diego, Jason Papin joined the faculty at University of Virginia in 2005.
Shayn Peirce-Cottler, Ph.D.
Shayn Peirce-Cottler develops computational models and combines them with wet lab experiments and machine learning to study how tissues heal after injury and to develop new therapies for inducing tissue regeneration.
Róża Przanowska, Ph.D.
Dr. Róża Kamila Przanowska is a Polish molecular biologist specializing in non-coding RNAs in cancer and development. As a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Dr. Kevin Janes’s laboratory at UVA, she investigates the heterogeneity of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
