The George Mason University Computer Science Department is celebrating its continued and rapid growth, as our recent accomplishments have solidified our place as one of the top programs in the country.
We are recruiting for all ranks and in all areas.
Prof. Jana Kosecka's proposal "Hand Shape Modeling for American Sign Language Recognition" has been selected for the Amazon's Fairness in AI Research Program. Prof. Brittany Johnson-Matthews's proposal "Exploring and Boosting Ethical Signals in Data-Driven Software Communities" has been selected for the Google Research Scholar Award under the Software Engineering category. Congratulations!
The CS department held a faculty retreat on Saturday 9/17 at the GMU Potomac Science Center. The retreat was attended by ~60 faculty (and some 10+ kids, onsite full-day care was provided!). During the retreat, the faculty discussed various topics including scaling to the (huge) growth of the department, addressing teaching needs, and developing strategic and vision plans for the department, the university, and the DC area.
