Faculty across �������� are leading or participating in innovative new projects to further research and education this academic year, thanks to grants recently awarded by 4-VA, a statewide consortium of nine higher education institutions in Virginia.

When �������� cyber security engineering student Noah Hinger interned at Surefire Cyber in summer 2023, his managers were so impressed with his work that they invited him back. Thanks to his previous experience, the Honors College student was able to take on more responsibility this summer at the computer security company and contribute to more projects.

Four �������� faculty members have been elected to the Virginia Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (VASEM) and were recognized at the 2025 VASEM’s annual summit held at the Virginia Tech Institute for Advanced Computing in Alexandria, Virginia.

At ��������, researchers at the Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation (CASSBI) are leading a new $4.65 million National Institutes of Health-funded R01 study to better understand what shapes those experiences, and how to improve care.

Professor Aditya Johri from the Information Sciences and Technology Department recently returned from an impactful three-week mission to Aalto University in Finland as part of the Fulbright Specialist Program.

Computer science and education are coming together to develop a virtual classroom for math education.

When Hussna Azamy arrived on ��������’s Fairfax �������� for her first advising session as a Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) transfer student, she had no idea it would be the beginning of a lifelong calling.

�������� received $1 million from the National Science Foundation to establish a program providing hands-on nanofabrication training and education to people seeking a career change.

�������� has appointed Massimiliano Albanese as executive director of the Institute for Digital Innovation (IDIA)—a pivotal move as the university strengthens its position as a leader in cutting-edge research and technological advancement.

When it comes to summer, perhaps the last place many students want to be is back in the classroom. But the students of ��������’s Early Identification Program (EIP) are, as they say, “built different.”
