Research

At George Mason University’s Department of Computer Science (CS), research drives innovation across the foundations and frontiers of computing. 

Our faculty, students, and collaborators are advancing knowledge that shapes how people live, work, and connect. Spanning both fundamental inquiry and applied discovery, our research addresses pressing global challenges in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, robotics, bioinformatics, and software engineering. Through interdisciplinary partnerships and state-of-the-art facilities, we translate theory into practice, foster innovation, and prepare the next generation of computing leaders to make a lasting impact in academia, industry, and society.
