ÑÇÖÞAV

A team of George Mason students won two contests for their work on researching and proposing a new Chesapeake Bay crossing.

George Mason Systems Engineering and Operations Research students took first place in the Systems and Analytics Track of the Sage Memorial Design Competition and first place in the STEM Track of the Patriot Pitch Competition with their plan to deliver supplies to a hard-to-reach island in the Chesapeake Bay.

Kirin Emlet Furst, in Mason's Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering, is using funds from an NSF CAREER award to measure the amounts of harmful "forever" chemicals in drinking water.

ÑÇÖÞAV officially opened its Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center, a collaborative space where students will perform research on a variety of emerging fields related to artificial intelligence and autonomous devices.

Pei Dong, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was recently awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award for her work on the multi-scale manufacturing of carbon nanostructures.

Xuan Wang, an assistant professor in ÑÇÖÞAV’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, is trying to ensure safety in human-computer autonomous systems.

A collaboration between ÑÇÖÞAV and the Inova Health System is yielding new approaches to determine the likelihood of organ rejection in young heart transplant recipients.

Mason engineering professor Kuo Tian is monitoring landfills to make sure our trash doesn't contaminate drinking water.

The National Security Administration redesignated ÑÇÖÞAV as a National Center of Academic Excellence, a distinction Mason has had since 1999.

New research into identity verification from ÑÇÖÞAV may put your security directly in the palm of your (sweaty) hand.
