GMU CS Students Win First Place in Cyber Warfare Challenge

Congratulations to Sam Best (CS BS) and Tommy Chin (CS PhD) and teammate Noah Korzak (CYSE BS/BAM) for winning first place among 11 teams from universities across the nation in the Cyber Warfare Challenge hosted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). The team earned a $60,000 prize for designing a powerful toolkit to analyze network risks and resilience against a number of Advanced Persistent Threat attacks. Their work, praised by the NSWCDD Technical Director Dale Sisson Jr., P.E., SES, and Commanding Officer Joe Oravec for its potential to shape cybersecurity’s future, highlights the depth of the security expertise at George Mason.

"GADGET: Pioneering Sustainability Solutions for Carbon Neutrality at Mason by 2040"

Green Assessment and Decision Guidance Tool (GADGET) is probably the least visible Living Lab project, but it’s among the most comprehensive and complex.  Computer Science professor Alex Brodsky in the College of Engineering and Computing and his team are working to develop a tool that will help Mason reduce our carbon footprint and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 in the most cost-effective way. PhD candidate Bedor Alyahya, who is guided by Dr. Brodsky, is working on her dissertation related to this topic. Mason's Director of University Sustainability, Greg Farley, is instrumental in this project as well, and facilitates close collaboration with Mason's facilities and carbon neutrality task force.
