Operations research deals with the application of advanced mathematics and computational methods to help make better decisions involving large and complex systems. There are many uses for operations research, but one of the most difficult problems that Rajesh Ganesan investigates is the sequential decision making problems under uncertainty.Director of Mason Engineering Online, Volgenau School of Engineering, Volgenau Assistant Professor, Information Sciences and Technology, Volgenau
Daniel Garrison is a faculty member in Information Sciences and Technology (IST). Professor Garrison teaches online education, programming, and human-computer interaction in Information Systems and Technology. Before coming to Mason, he was an Assistant Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology and served as a Principal at Digital Audio Notebook Group. His research focuses on developing new computer technology matrixes that can adjust for the user’s cognitive state.

Associate Professor, Computer Science, Volgenau
Yotam Gingold directs the Creativity and Graphics Lab (CraGL). Its mission is to solve challenging visual, geometry, and design problems and pursue foundational research into human creativity. He has taught at George Mason University since 2012. His research interests include interactive geometric modeling, color, creativity support, and crowdsourcing. His research has been incorporated into Adobe Illustrator as the Puppet Warp tool.
Director of IT and Security, Volgenau
Jonathan Goldman has been involved with IT since before its incarnation under that name, having written a game program on a Royal Precision LGP-30 in spring of 1963. During his career he has worked not only in IT, but also in retail and wholesale marketing, developing and implementing multiple marketing campaigns for retail chains.
Assistant Professor, Computer Science, Volgenau
Dov Gordon has taught at George Mason University since 2015. Prior to joining George Mason University, he was a recipient of the computing innovations postdoctoral fellowship, and spent three years working in a private research lab. His research is in cryptography; he discovers new ways to compute on encrypted data so that user privacy can be maintained throughout the lifetime of the data. His work spans both the theoretical foundations of cryptography, as well as the practical aspects of applying the research to real problems.
Associate Professor, Computer Science, Volgenau
Bo Han enjoys building practical networked systems that facilitate us to better communicate with each other and interact with the physical world by leveraging innovations in machine learning, multimedia, computer vision, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction. At Mason, his current research focuses on immersive video streaming, augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, and the Internet of Things. His key research principle is to build real systems, as he believes good research stems from implementing practical systems.
