    The Integrated Electromagnetics, Circuits, and Systems (IECS) Lab in the University of Virginia’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department is led by Professor Steven Bowers.

  • Kelly Lab

    The Kelly Laboratory is interested in analyzing how the various biological scales such as molecules, proteins, cells, and structures interact in both normal and abnormal states.

  • KEVION

    The KEVION facility at the University of Virginia consists of a modern, dual beam line, 25 – 300 kV ion accelerator with state-of-the-art analysis chambers, GRAINS and ICE, for transformative research in studies of space weathering, radiolysis, radiosynthesis, sputtering, surface charging, radiation damage, and sample characterization.

  • Koenig Research Group

    The Koenig Research Group, let by Professor Gary Koenig, investigates the design of new materials and material chemistries.

  • Laboratory for Astrophysics and Surface Physics

    Our team studies the interaction of energetic particles (ions, electrons) and photons with solid surfaces, with particular emphasis on understanding the physical and chemical processes at play in our solar system and interstellar medium.

  • Lampe Biomaterials Group

    Professor Kyle Lampe established the Lampe Group in 2014 to develop biomaterials for neural tissue engineering

  • LASER

    Research is carried out in the area of high power laser applications for solar cell manufacturing, infrared detectors, thermal solar, thermophotovoltaics, quantum dots based solar concentrators, laser microtexturing of surfaces, etc.

  • Link Lab

    Opened in January 2018, the Link Lab at UVA Engineering is a world-class center of excellence in cyber-physical systems. The Lab consists of more than 250 faculty and graduate students from multiple departments and conducts pioneering work in Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles, Smart and Connected Health, Hardware for IoT, and Smart Cities.
