Conducting research on transportation systems since 1970, Bronzini is continuing his career in research and teaching, with a focus on innovative solutions to complex multi-modal transportation systems problems. Prior to coming to Mason, Bronizi was director of the Center for Transportation Analysis at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, overseeing an interdisciplinary transportation research program with annual expenditures of $12.5 million. He is a registered professional engineer and is a member of the Transportation Research Board, where he has served on numerous committees and panels.

Cook is the Earle C. Williams Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, a Life Fellow of IEEE, a former President of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and a former Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. His areas of interest include automatic control systems and robotics as well as signal processing. He has performed numerous research projects in these and other areas with well over 100 refereed publications. Recent research has been in the area of sensor-bearing vehicles used for remote sensing. Emphasis is on control and navigation of the vehicle, and geo-registration of the sensed objects of interest. Military applications include search for landmines and other types of strategic targets and may involve airborne as well as ground vehicles. Other potential non-military applications include search for survivors in disaster areas as well as exploration of various types in areas inaccessible to humans.

The central theme of Duric's computer vision research is understanding the motions of humans and of vehicles driven by humans. Application areas for this research include smart rooms, video surveillance and monitoring, human-computer interaction, secure driving/ intelligent highways, and video coding.

In his work he has been applying techniques from such domains as theoretical kinematics and dance notation to analyze physical and geometrical constraints on the motions of humans and vehicles. This research will result in methods that significantly improve on currently available techniques for computing human-generated motions of objects.

In his previous work he developed the Frenet-Serret and Darboux motion models to describe physically possible motions of tools and vehicles. In his current workhe is extending this research to understanding human motions. In particular Duric is investigating how dance notation can be used to describe human motions in such domains as gestures and sports.

In the domain of human motion understanding Duric is interested in gestures and simple activities performed by small numbers of humans. In the gesture domain a single human is viewed by one or more cameras. The human uses upper body gestures such as posture, head pose (nods, etc.), shoulder movements (shrugs, etc.), hand and arm movements, palm facings, finger pointings, and so on to convey a message. In the domain of "general'' human motions and sports Duric is interested in simple movements that are performed in an approximately upright position, such as walking, running, etc.

Ghosh is research professor and chief scientist in the Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS) at George Mason University. He is also the founder of Secure Command, LLC, a start-up developing next generation Internet security products. Ghosh's research focuses on combating malicious software. He has developed novel approaches for securing desktops using virtualization. He is also developing techniques for detecting malicious code within enterprise networks by classifying network traffic flows. 

Prior to joining Mason, Ghosh was senior scientist and program manager in the Advanced Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) where he managed an extensive portfolio of information assurance and information operations programs. He has served as principal investigator on contracts from DARPA, NSA, and NIST's Advanced Technology Program and has written more than 40 peer-reviewed conference and journal articles. Ghosh is also author of three books on computer network defense

Hintz received his PhD in electrical engineering in 1981 from the University of Virginia for his development of a new theory of information-based sensor management. In 1987, Hintz joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mason. His research is in the areas of information-based sensor management and image and ground-penetrating radar signal processing. He has several issued patents, pending applications, a book published by McGraw-Hill, and he recently conducted funded research on information-based sensor management for the next generation of sensing platforms. His current research is in landmine detection and modeling of improvised explosive device force interaction.
