Angela named the Dennis Assanis Collegiate Professor

Angela Violi was one of seventeen Michigan Engineering faculty members to receive a named professorship in Spring-Fall 2025. She had been named the “Dennis Assanis Collegiate Professor.”

Angela Violi’s research pioneers the use of multiscale modeling and machine learning to solve complex problems at the intersection of nanotechnology, biology, and environmental science. As the leader of the Violi Lab, she and her team develop and apply advanced computational methods to understand and predict the behavior of molecules and materials from the quantum scale to the cellular level. Her work has foundational applications in two critical areas: elucidating the formation of nanoparticles in combustion and the environment, and designing novel nanomaterials for biomedical applications, such as new antimicrobials.
