Matt Jablonski has been a researcher at George Mason for over a decade. This semester, he joined the faculty. 

A student team from George Mason University’s Center for Secure Information Systems won first place and a prize of $60,000 in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Cyber Resiliency and Measurement Challenge in October 2024.  

Over the past year, George Mason professor Moinul Hossain contributed to a research initiative aimed at ensuring the safety and integrity of 5G networks used by the United States military. 

On October 9, 2024, the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative’s Northern Virginia Node accelerator program (CCI+A) culminated in a final pitch competition at Mason Square. 

Mason researcher Vijay Shah has joined a $2 million project to develop a system to secure 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture, a collaboration between Mason and Virginia Tech, Penn State University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Two College of Engineering and Computing faculty members, Kai Zeng and Vijay K. Shah, are part of a project awarded $1.7 million by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund.

After helping to develop the Systems Engineering and Cyber Security Engineering programs at George Mason, Professor Peggy Brouse has received the 2023 David J. King Award.

As plans for Mason Square progress, the Cyber Security Engineering (CYSE) department, the fastest growing department in the College of Engineering and Computing, is eager to leverage the space.

A Mason PhD candidate’s cybersecurity business won $50,000 from Pharell Williams’ Black Ambition prize contest. The contest being hosted in her hometown “put the icing on the cake.”
