The Engineering and Computing Student Council (ECSC) at George Mason University empowers students by enhancing communication with faculty, addressing academic challenges, and encouraging community involvement.

This year, two professors will be recognized with Presidential Awards for Faculty Excellence in Research.

George Mason University computer science major Nasrin Ali has a unique accomplishment—she has completed two internships with Microsoft and begins her third this summer.

In the most recent U.S. News and World Report Rankings, the College of Engineering and Computing made postitive strides.

Research Interests: Security and Privacy, Human-Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning

Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation (CASSBI) refreshed its mission and zeroed in more tightly on its translational research. The new vision of CASSBI is advancing system science and integrating innovation with medical technologies to benefit humanity.

George Mason professor Sungsoo Ray Hong has always been a huge fan of cartoons, comics, and animations. By combining his passion with his research area of human-computer interaction, he has created a new tool for cartoonists, ShadowMagic.

Hong, his colleague Yotam Gingold, and their PhD students published a paper, “ShadowMagic: Designing Human-AI Collaborative Support for Comic Professionals’ Shadowing,” elucidating the need for the tool, which aims to boost product quality and designer productivity through study-informed human-AI interaction.

Biomedical engineering has been an up-and-coming career field for years, but graduating and getting that first job can feel like scaling a cliff. At George Mason’s bioengineering department, however, the faculty, staff, and fellow students collaborate to rig their future colleagues a safety net.

The intersection of art and technology has long been a space for innovation, creativity, and exploration. At George Mason’s Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center (MARC) located within the College of Engineering and Computing, this connection has taken center stage with the Integrating Art and Tech Project.
