Professor Lizhi Wang, a new faculty member with a joint appointment in George Mason University’s Department of Bioengineering and Department of Systems Engineering and Operations Research, has brought his systems approach to optimizing agriculture, livestock farming, and now human health.

Researchers at George Mason University will collaborate on an NSF planning grant to develop resilience solutions and technologies. They will work with Indigenous communities, industry partners, government agencies, and six academic institutions.

George Mason University continues to lead the way in the world of AI education, thanks to a new National Science Foundation (NSF) grant awarded to Aditya Johri, professor of Information Sciences and Technology, and Lawrence Cranberg, endowed research fellow at the Long Nguyen and Kimmy Duong School of Computing.

The Department of Systems Engineering and Operations Research welcomes Guiping Hu as the new department chair. Hu is ready to take the department to new heights and achieve its full potential.

Understanding and treating complex eye movement disorders like strabismus has long been a challenge for clinicians. Now, researchers at George Mason University are pioneering a new approach using robotics and artificial intelligence to engineer a better future for vision care.

George Mason University’s civil engineers are assessing the climate change challenges facing some of the world’s highest mountain ranges, creating better ways to measure the melting ice in high elevations where temperatures are rising faster than average and putting pressure on the livelihoods of fragile cultures and ecologies.

Antonios Anastasopoulos, an expert in natural language processing, received a $600,000 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation to address challenges with large language models. 

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.

Emergency management training doesn’t usually involve game controllers or artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, but at George Mason University, faculty and students are redefining what it means to prepare for crises. Through cutting-edge, AI-augmented games, they’re transforming complex challenges into interactive learning experiences that build skills and resilience.

Researchers Farrokh Alemi and Kevin Lybarger receive George Mason University’s first Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award to develop innovative AI technology, including large language models, for improving antidepressant recommendations.
