Every day at George Mason University, faculty like assistant professor Jeffrey Moran develop innovative solutions to the world’s grand challenges. And sometimes those grand challenges can have small solutions that come from the most unlikely of places.

Local high school students explore maritime robotics at NSF-supported summer camp.

Mechanical engineer Jeffrey Moran, whose lab focuses on self-propelled micro- and nanoparticles, has loved outer space since childhood. Now, one of his experiments, exploring aerosol thermophoresis, will be carried out on the International Space Station. 

From the fabrication floor to the incubator’s loft, the MIX demonstrates how principles of entrepreneurship and innovation aren’t so easily siloed with two new courses: BLIMP and Student Innovator Mastermind.

As the College of Engineering and Computing celebrates Innovation Week, George Mason University President Gregory Washington talks about why he chose to pursue engineering, how being an engineer informs his role as university president, and his induction into the National Academy of Engineering.

Collaboration between colleges has led to the creation of a unique autonomous surface water vehicle, collecting samples and reducing manual labor for researchers.

Research Interests: Thermal Fluid Systems, Power Plant Design Engineer, Sustainable Energy Systems, Safety and Quality Assurance in Manufacturing and Application of Teaching Methods

Adjunct Professor George Siragusa, organized an opportunity for mechanical engineering students to participate in virtual panel discussions with executives from two local companies.

Missy Cummings, a George Mason University mechanical engineering professor, calls herself a “tech futurist,” whose job is to “make tech work. It’s not to stop tech, it’s to help it get better.”

This year’s Winter Commencement student speaker is Yasmin Alamin, who is graduating this December with a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering.
