Cyber Security Engineering Associate Professor Umit Karabiyik helps law enforcement agencies understand how data from everyday connected devices can provide critical evidence in criminal cases.

Undergraduate George Mason cyber security engineering students uncovered how subtle timing-based attacks can manipulate a robot’s perception and behavior and presented their research at a premier conference.

George Mason's Anomadarshi Barua will present research on using AI and chaos theory to rebuild missing pieces of speech at one of the world’s leading conferences on natural language processing.

When a manufacturing machine is cutting, drilling, or shaping metal, it is following a precise set of digital instructions, with every motor turn intentional. But what happens when there’s a subtle change along the way?

In May, George Mason celebrated its research enterprise with Innovation Awards. Hosted by the Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Impact, the event recognized researchers, a start-up, and those who received and/or licensed a patent in the past two years.

These George Mason students are short-circuiting voice commands, dog whistles, and clickers.

Assistant Professor Zhuangdi Zhu is collaborating with the University of Virginia’s Wajih Ul Hassan to develop scalable host-based intrusion detection systems using federated learning, enhancing cybersecurity while ensuring data privacy.
