Faculty

Faculty at the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus strive to translate their work into commercial applications, engage outside of academia, and collaborate with industry. Our faculty promote a purpose-driven, action-oriented culture that is distinctive and connected to the outside world. The first faculty cohort joined the Innovation Campus in August 2022. They are helping to establish the Campus’ key research themes, enhance the project-based curriculum, and develop the campus governance structure.
