Gupta’s lab recently joined innovators working on NASA’s Artemis missions. He has developed technology with solar, biomedical and microelectronics applications.
Hossack, a professor of biomedical engineering, develops ultrasound imaging approaches for cardiovascular disease. He has pioneered using gas-filled “microbubbles” in combination with imaging as a way of targeting drug delivery.
Hossack’s research has helped launch several start-up companies. He is a past recipient of UVA’s Edlich-Henderson Innovators of the Year award.
The National Academy of Inventors is a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging inventors in academia. This year, the academy invited 169 academics to be fellows.
