Within the U.Va. School of Engineering and Applied Science, faculty are advancing the frontiers in cardiovascular bioengineering, biomedical & molecular imaging, cellular & molecular bioengineering, computational systems bioengineering, tissue engineering & biomaterials, neural & bioelectric systems, musculoskeletal bioengineering; injury biomechanics, and protein separation and analysis for new therapeutic agents.
U.Va. Engineering faculty working at the nano / atomic level are involved in the engineering of electron charge and spin, control of the biological function of living cells, sensing and control of nanoscale dynamics, and control of chemical reactions. Many of them are also developing new computational and experimental tools for nanoscale investigations. Faculty at U.Va. have particularly well-recognized expertise in materials development for structural function.
Information Science and Technology Within the School, faculty across multiple departments are investigating risk, reliability, security, and dependability analysis and design, including work on large-scale complex systems; real-time and embedded systems; networks and Internet engineering, including grid computing and wireless distributed networks; and the broad area of software engineering.
Energy and the Environment U.Va.’s engineering research activities in the realm of energy and the environment span a set of critical areas in the field. Supporting the search for alternative energy solutions, faculty study molecular modeling; reaction dynamics, catalysis, and fuels cells. In an equally important sector of the field, faculty are using traffic information systems to optimize flow in transportation systems. Still other faculty consider how to provide clean drinking water for the world’s entire human population.
