Centers, Labs, Groups

In research labs and groups across UVA Engineering, our faculty and students are making discoveries and disseminating their breakthroughs across the globe.

  • Insight Computer Architecture Lab

    We are a research group working in the area of computer architecture and systems. Our goal is to generate insights necessary in order to architect future computers that are more energy-efficient, capable, reliable, and secure.

  • Integrated Electromagnetics Circuits and Systems Lab

    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.

  • Intelligent Systems Lab

    The Intelligent Systems Lab (ISL) at the University of Virginia, led by Dr. Qing (Cindy) Chang, focuses on advancing intelligent systems for smart manufacturing. Research areas include cyber-physical systems, human-robot collaboration, knowledge-guided machine learning, real-time energy and production control, and battery manufacturing reliability.

  • Janes Lab

    We use a systems bioengineering approach to study how complex genetic and viral changes reprogram cells, combining experiments, computational models, and data analysis. Our work spans from molecular studies in cells to large-scale patterns in human populations, aiming to develop personalized therapeutic strategies.

  • Janes Lab

    Cancer cells and viruses each alter cellular behavior through a handful of mutations or proteins, but the resulting complexity defies simple explanation. Our lab uses a systems bioengineering approach—combining quantitative data, computational modeling, and experimental manipulation—to understand these perturbations from the molecular to the population level. This work aims to enable predictive, personalized therapies tailored to the complexity of each disease.

  • 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.

  • Kibbe-Tsihlis Lab

    From materials science and animal models, to basic cell biology and biochemistry, we ultimately strive to have a significant impact on the health of vascular patients.

  • 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.
