robotics and autonomous systems

  • Maryam Parsa is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at George Mason University. Prior to joining Mason, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Beyond Moore Computing group.

  • Research Interests: Robust methods for high-dimensional problems, computational statistics, applications in the life sciences.

  • Shima Mohebbi's specific interests include game theory, simulation, stochastic models, and interpretable data mining with applications in healthcare systems, interdependent infrastructure systems, sustainable urban water systems, and smart cities.

  • Erion Plaku is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science department.

  • Greg's research is devoted to changing how robots think about uncertainty so that they can make predictions about their surroundings from experience and understand the role their actions play in shaping their environment.

  • Shaghayegh Bagheri is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at George Mason University and an Affiliate Scientist at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (Toronto, Canada).

  • Research Interests: Data science, statistics for big or high-dimensional data, simultaneous inference, multiple comparisons, selection bias, measurement errors, mixtures, causal inference, semi and nonparametric analysis, machine learning, biostatistics, random fields, crowdsourcing, EHR and Text analysis, the interface of statistics and computer science, and other interdisciplinary work.
