Research @ UVA Engineering

Professor Acton’s laboratory at UVA is called VIVA - Virginia Image and Video Analysis. They specialize in biological image analysis problems. The research emphases of VIVA include machine learning for image and video analysis, AI for education, tracking, segmentation, and enhancement.

Our research is focused primarily on metals analysis, including magnesium alloy formability, intermetallic behaviors, and aluminum alloy fatigue.

Reid Bailey is an engineering educator, designer, and scholar focused on engineering design education, systems thinking and analysis, & sustainability.

My interests are in materials informatics, density functional theory, machine learning, bayesian inference, and optimal design methods applied to accelerate the search and discovery of novel 2D materials, metallic alloys, ferroic and electronic materials.

I am an eco-hydrologist with research spanning the continuum of natural through urban watersheds. A goal is to develop and incorporate principles learned in unmanaged ecosystems as part of urban ecosystem restoration.

Professor Bart-Smith joined the University of Virginia faculty in the fall of 2002. Dr. Bart-Smith came to UVA from Princeton University where she worked at the Princeton Materials Institute with A.G. Evans. Bart-Smith has founded the Multifunctional Materials and Structures Laboratory and the Bio-inspired Engineering Research Laboratory.

Bates research group synthesizes catalysts with well-defined structures and use quantitative kinetic measurements and characterizations of their active centers to elucidate structure–reactivity relationships.

Andreas Beling earned his M.Sc. from the University of Bonn in 2000 and Ph.D. from Technical University Berlin in 2006. He worked at Heinrich-Hertz-Institut and UVa, gaining industry experience in fiber optic communication systems. Beling authored 230+ papers, 3 chapters, and holds 4 patents. Senior member of OSA and IEEE.
