Robert McGrath. PhD
Research Focus Robert J. McGrath research tends to focus on how formal and informal governmental institutions interact to create policy outcomes in democratic systems of government. As such, his research gravitates towards the study of U.S. state politics and assesses how political reforms and institutional characteristics across the states affect the policy process, as well […]
Rao Mulpuri, PhD
Research Focus Rao Mulpuri’s present areas of research interest are large bandgap semiconductor (SiC, GaN, etc) materials, and devices (ion-implantation doping, ohmic contacts, device fabrication, material and device characterization). He joined GMU in September 1984, and became a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in September 1993.
Ran Ji, PhD
Research Focus Ran Ji’s research focuses on stochastic optimization, distributionally robust optimization, chance-constrained programming and uncertainty quantification, data-driven decision making. Specifically, some of Ji’s research goals include tackling the optimization problems under uncertainty via mathematical programming. His application areas of interest include financial risk modeling, portfolio optimization, supply chain risk analytics, inventory and production planning, […]
Qiliang Li, PhD
Research Focus I design and fabricate sensors, integrate sensors into a smart sensor system to monitor the chemicals and pollution in the environment. In addition, my research focuses on self-powered, autonomous-driving monitoring platforms for aquatic ecosystems.
Priscilla Regan, PhD
Research Focus Dr. Regan is a Professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. Prior to joining that faculty in 1989, she was a Senior Analyst in the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (1984-1989) and an Assistant Professor of Politics and Government at the University of Puget Sound (1979-1984). From […]
Pramita Bagchi, PhD
Research Focus My research focuses on developing methodology for analyzing high dimensional dependent data. Dependence is a natural phenomenon occurring in several real-life scenario, specifically in data observed over time or in a spatial context. Ignoring this underlying spatial and temporal dependence structure leads to incorrect result in inference and prediction problem. The severity of […]
Pouyan Ahmadi, PhD
Research Focus Pouyan Ahmadi’s research interests include cooperative communications and networking, cross-layer design of wireless networks, relay deployment and selection in wireless networks. He has devised several relay-selection strategies in cooperative communication by combining routing and cooperative diversity with the consideration of a realistic channel model that can be applied to WLAN and LTE networks.
Peter Pachowicz, PhD
Research Focus Dr. Pachowicz is an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, George Mason University. His current interests include CubeSats, SatCom, and SpaceCom. He is leading activities in these areas at the Volgenau School of Engineering (VSE). Specific CubeSat areas of his interest include: ultra-small-factor satellite bus engineering, resilient satellite bus architectures, and […]
Peter Becker, PhD
Research Focus Dr. Becker’s research focuses on a variety of topics in high-energy astrophysical theory, including theoretical modeling of accretion flows onto rotating neutron stars (X-ray pulsars) located in binary systems. The gas falling onto the surfaces of X-ray pulsars experiences the most extreme conditions in the known universe, including super-strong magnetic and radiation fields, […]
Qi Wei, PhD
Research Focus Qi Wei leads the Biomechanics lab at the Volgenau School of Engineering at George Mason University. The lab’s research focuses on developing and applying computational models to study disorders of the oculomotor system and the musculoskeletal system. Using an advanced biomechanical model of the ocular motor plant, the lab examines the coordination of […]
