George Mason University 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.

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

With the opening of the Nanofabrication Facility on its Science and Technology Campus, Mason stands ready to conduct state-of-the-art research and to help train the next generation of innovators.

Thirty students, from first-years to PhDs in a variety of majors, participated in the MIX's eight-week Unmanned Aerial Systems Prototyping course this fall.

ECE assistant professor Maryam Parsa is one of the four principal investigators on a $2.4 million project funded by the National Science Foundation to create a 3D computer chip that functions like the hippocampus.

Weiwen Jiang in George Mason University's College of Engineering and Computing has two new NSF grants to tackle challenges in quantum computing.

The invite-only roundtable, hosted by the College of Engineering and Computing at Mason Square, explored the issues, challenges, and solutions to think about as AI technologies rapidly evolve and change.  The roundtable was led by Missy Cummings, director of Mason’s Autonomy and Robotics Center.

Missy Cummings, a George Mason University mechanical engineering professor, calls herself a “tech futurist,” whose job is to “make tech work. It’s not to stop tech, it’s to help it get better.”

George Mason University College of Engineering and Computing faculty members are developing ways to hide text messages in plain sight, protecting from would-be hackers the sensitive messages of military personnel, law enforcement, and others.

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
