Four Mason Engineering researchers received a $1.6 million grant from DARPA.

A team of researchers from George Mason University will lead efforts to develop a dynamic, high-performance programmable Cyber-Infrastructure testbed that connects research communities and their resources in the United States with collaborating partners and facilities in Europe

Bioengineering professor Siddhartha Sikdar is using technology to help individuals with limb loss better control their prostheses.

Environmental researcher Lucas Henneman is investigating air pollution’s impact on health. He uses large datasets and computer models to track pollution after it’s emitted from sources such as automobiles, coal power plants, and natural gas plants. The models help identify which people in nearby communities breathe in pollution.

The team’s work supports evidence-based decision making, informed by the models, to rethink and facilitate hospital operations in utilizing limited critical resources as demand surges.

George Mason University is taking the lead in a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) designed to assess the threat of rising sea levels and flooding to Maryland’s coastal communities.

The Arctic is warming at more than twice the rate of the rest of the planet, but for a team of researchers at George Mason University that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the changes to come.

When Mason Engineering professor Cameron Nowzari was an undergraduate, all he wanted to do was design and build robots. He was especially interested in the idea of swarm robotics, in which large teams of robots are designed to cooperatively complete tasks that a single device might not be able to do alone.

NASA awards two grants to Mason's College of Engineering and Computing to research airline accidents and produce prevention strategies.

The Laboratory for IT Entrepreneurship (LITE) created the Pitch IT competition where teams of Mason students, can present their IT-related business ideas in a low-pressure environment.
