Meet the University’s 2020 CAREER Award winners, some of UVA’s next generation of rising stars in science and engineering.
Rhoback, founded by Matt and Kristina Loftus while they were enrolled at Darden, has temporarily switched from polos, pullovers and performance T-shirts to much-needed face masks. They are also raising money for local restaurants.
The robot, Tru-D, stands 5-feet-6-inches and uses ultraviolet germicidal irradiation or UV light vectors to disinfect porous and non-porous surfaces without toxic chemicals.

Many of the faculty members found out they’d received an All-University Teaching Award in a surprising way – while conducting their classes virtually.
The transition to online courses has taken many different forms across the University. See how Steve Warner turned his “Art of the Creature” course into an online experience – complete with at-home puppet-making kits.
Christopher Ruhm, whose research found that physical heath improved in past recessions, suggested that during the coronavirus recession, things might be different.
Matt Dziama majored in history at UVA, but decided late in his undergraduate career that he wanted to get into health care. A year later, he’s on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
