Research @ UVA Engineering
Engineering for a Sustainable FutureEngineering a better future will require the best work of researchers collaborating along the spectrum from the tiniest building blocks of materials through the complex workings of entire societal systems. We work at the micro- and nano-scale in fields like heat transfer, catalysis and 2-D materials to identify fundamental properties of matter. Our goal is not simply to conduct research, but to pursue research with positive global impact.

William Davis
Assistant ProfessorAs our technological creations increasingly permeate all that surrounds us, altering our behaviors and bodies in subtle and obvious ways, we ought to ask ourselves:
Benton H. Calhoun
Benton H. Calhoun received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Computer Science from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA, in 2000. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA, in 2002 and 2006, respectively.
Brad Campbell
Brad joined the University of Virginia in 2017 as a member of the Link Lab after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. His research interests broadly include wireless embedded systems, with a focus on new energy-harvesting sensors, networks of connected "things", and application-driven sensing systems and deployments.
Joe Charles Campbell
Joe Campbell received a B.S. Degree in Physics for the University of Texas at Austin in 1969, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1971 and 1973. Professor Campbell teaches courses on lasers and optoelectronic components. In 2002 Professor was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering.
Harsha K. Chelliah
Before joining UVA in 1992, Professor Chelliah received his BSc degree from the University of Moratuwa in Sri Lanka in 1981, MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from SUNY at Stony Brook in 1984, and PhD degree from Princeton University in 1989. After earning his Ph.D., he worked at Princeton University as a Research Associate/Staff Member.
T. Donna Chen
Dr. Chen joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Virginia in August 2015.
David Chen
David Chen is the founding managing director of the Wallace H. Coulter Center for Translational Research at the University of Virginia. He holds a Master of Science in Cell and Developmental Biology from Rutgers University/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and an MBA from UVA’s Darden School of Business.
Joshua J. Choi
Joshua Choi joined UVa in 2014 and is a recipient of a NASA Early Career Faculty Award (2015). His research group is developing novel and advanced synthetic methods to achieve robust heterostructure formation, surface structure and impurity doping. They seek to understand and control the structure-property relationships in these materials.
Andrés F. Clarens
Andrés Clarens is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UVA and Associate Director of the Pan-University Environmental Resilience Institute. His research is focused broadly on understanding anthropogenic carbon flows and the ways that CO2 is manipulated, reused, and sequestered in engineered systems.
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.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
