Hamdi Kavak
Research Focus My research focuses on using advancing state-of-the-art in modeling and simulation. Mainly, I contribute to the intersection of simulation modeling and data science by making use of data mining and machine learning techniques to uncover behavioral patterns from publicly available data. This fertile research area lends itself very well to both Computational Social […]
Ziyu Yao
Research Focus Ziyu Yao has broad interests in natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI), and their applications to other disciplines. In particular, she has been working on developing natural language interfaces (e.g., question answering and dialogue systems) that can reliably assist humans in knowledge acquisition and task completion. Her current foci include: (1) Human-AI […]
David Kepplinger
Research Focus The overarching goal of my research is to develop and deploy practicable statistical methods for the analysis of high dimensional data sets which are reliable and efficient in the presence of outliers or other forms of aberrant contamination. My research provides opportunities for collaborations to advance non-convex optimization and I am always happy […]

Research Focus I am a mathematics educator in the Graduate School of Education at George Mason University. I teach mathematics methods courses in the Elementary Education Program and mathematics leadership courses for the Mathematics Specialist Masters and PH.D Programs. I direct the Center for Outreach in Mathematics Professional Learning and Educational Technology, COMPLETE, a joint […]
Sarah Wittman, PhD
Research Focus In an increasingly globalized, digital, and networked world, definitions of individual and organizational level identities, values, relationships, and memberships are changing. I study how people and organizations conceptualizations of personal, role, organizational, and environmental boundaries affect organizational relationships and resources. My current research draws on identity, institutional logics, and stakeholder theory perspectives to […]
Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera, PhD
Research Focus My research interests include Mexico-U.S. relations, organized crime, immigration, border security, social movements and human trafficking. My newest book is titled Los Zetas Inc.: Criminal Corporations, Energy, and Civil War in Mexico (University of Texas Press, 2017). I was recently the Principal Investigator of a research grant to study organized crime and trafficking […]
Gene Shuman, PhD
Research Focus My research focuses on using machine learning techniques to make predictions and as an aid in decision making. I’ve used these in a biomedical application in which electrical signals measured in a person’s forearm are used to recognize the grips or movements of the hand attached to the forearm. One obvious use is […]
