Breakthroughs in George Mason University's Department of Computer Science may result in more effective use of rescue robots.

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.

The Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) and the Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC) recently added George Mason University as a member.

George Mason researchers are coming up with a variety of ways to improve people’s lives.

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.

George Mason University is using $1 million from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to enhance emergency response, specifically using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve training and other capabilities of the emergency communication systems in Northern Virginia.

Kun Sun, a George Mason University professor in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology and associate director of the Center for Secure Information Systems helps the Navy ensure its cyber systems aren't hacked.

With a new $3.69 million grant, the Research and Engagement for Action in Climate and Health (REACH) Center—which includes George Mason—is set to tackle the urgent intersection of climate change and public health in the nation’s capital.

George Mason received a $1.25 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch a postdoctoral fellowship program that will prepare recent PhD graduates to be leaders in quantum education and workforce development research. The program focuses on addressing challenges in quantum education, particularly in building an inclusive and equitable workforce.
