William W. Roberts, Jr. (wwr@virginia.edu) is the Commonwealth Professor of Engineering and Applied Science. He arrived at U.Va. as Assistant Professor in 1969, was promoted to Associate Professor in 1974, and became Professor in 1982.. He has served as the Director of the Mathematical-Computational Modeling Laboratory since 1990, Commonwealth Professor since 1992, and the Director of Applied Mathematics since 2004.

Prior to arriving at U.Va., Professor Roberts earned his S.B. in mathematics in 1964 and his Ph.D. in applied mathematics in 1969, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research activities have a strong focus on formulation of scientific and engineering problems in mathematical terms and solution of the mathematical equations in the models thus formulated. He has served as Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator on grants from Amoco, Du Pont, Hercules, NASA, NSF, 3M Company, U.S. Army, VCIT and other sources, totalling over $2,500,000.
