Research @ UVA Engineering

The SAGEST Center brings together advanced computing, data analytics and engineering to model extreme environments using hypersonic flight as a rigorous proving ground.

UVA Engineering professor Andrés Clarens argues in the Washington Post that the U.S. should not abandon programs to commercialize construction materials innovations and risk ceding global leadership.

Chemical engineering’s Geoff Geise is on a roll with a new editorship appointment and recent “Editors’ Choice” honors for research that helps address a national energy priority.

Capstone students will find out in August with a NASA rocket launch if their glider concept works.  

UVA engineers discovered a way to move heat ultrafast using crystal waves, offering a breakthrough in cooling advanced electronics.

UVA professor’s in-demand laser testing techniques lead to myriad collaborations and advances in thermal properties of materials used in many engineering applications.

UVA Engineering’s new fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science represent three different departments and distinct areas of research. 

UVA’s proposed new system for studying ultra-high-temperature ceramics will empower researchers to gather high-precision data that was previously out of reach.

UVA researchers’ new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn’t sacrifice stretchability for stiffness.

Ph.D. student Md. Rafiqul Islam and a team of researchers unlock heat flow principles in ultra-thin metals, paving the way for faster, smaller, more efficient computer chips.

The researchers' new approach uses machine learning to identify defects that would otherwise go unspotted by human review of micrograph images.

A multidisciplinary UVA-led research group has formulated new protective coatings to allow turbine engines to run hotter — with potential dividends for the environment and people.
