The Cavalier Autonomous Racing Team clocked the fastest all-American laps at the Indy Autonomous Challenge – and a chance to help drive the autonomous vehicle industry.

A UVA Engineering team is set to compete Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the world’s first high-speed autonomous vehicle race.

Yonghwi Kwon’s grants from the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research are aimed at developing automated systems for detecting and thwarting malware.

In an open-source research paper, a UVA engineering professor and her former Ph.D. student share a new, more accurate method for modeling evolutionary change, with implications for better understanding of disease.

The last U.S. astronauts to walk on the moon collected surface samples to be analyzed by later generations of scientists. One of those future researchers is at UVA Engineering, nearly 50 years after watching the launch as a sleepy 5-year-old girl.

UVA Engineering is the top public school for the percentage of female undergraduates, among those that award at least 75 engineering degrees, and has the top-reported graduation rate for all students, including African American, Asian, Hispanic and multi-racial students.
