Research @ UVA Engineering

Hyojoon Kim serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. His research interests lie in computer networks and distributed networked systems, with a specific focus on in-network computing, programmable networks, software-defined networking, network measurement, and network security.

Roman Krzysztofowicz develops theories and models for probabilistic forecasting and optimal decision making under uncertainty sing Bayesian Forecast-Decision Theory.

James W. Lark is Associate Professor, Academic General Faculty in the Center for Applied Mathematics and Dept. of Systems and Information Engineering, as well as Affiliated Faculty, Dept. of Statistics. He recieved his B.S. from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1977 and Ph.D. from UVA in 1990.

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.

Felix Xiaozhu Lin joined the Department of Computer Science as an associate professor in August 2020. Prior to his appointment at UVA Engineering, Lin was a tenured associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

I am interested in Cryptography, Algorithms, and in general Theoretical Computer Science. My current research focuses on accessing large data efficiently and privately. My results cover Oblivious Random Access Machines (RAM), Private Information Retrieval, and Fully Homomorphic Encryption for RAM programs.

Jennifer Lobo's research involves mathematical modeling and stochastic optimization methods to build models that simulate the course of disease. Current projects include optimizing treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes, validating infrastructure decisions for rural tele-cystoscopy clinics, and developing guidelines for small renal masses.

Chang Lou is a tenure-track assistant professor in Department of Computer Science at University of Virginia. His research interests are distributed systems, operating systems, and cloud computing. His work centers on improving system reliability and availability.
