Hilary Bart-Smith joined the University of Virginia faculty in the fall of 2002. She received her B.Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland and her S.M. and Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences from Harvard University. Dr. Bart-Smith came to UVA from Princeton University, where she was a post-doctoral Research Associate at the Princeton Materials Institute.
Since joining the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering faculty at the University of Virginia in 2002, Bart-Smith has founded the Multifunctional Materials and Structures Laboratory (MMS Lab) and the Bio-inspired Engineering Research Laboratory (BIER Lab), and generated over $10M of research funding. Research is focused on three main areas; (i) lightweight metallic structures (lattice truss structures, nanoporous films, hierarchical structures), (ii) statically determinate and tensegrity morphing structures, and (iii) polymer electro-mechanical systems (PEMS).
