The Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS) at the George Mason University is seeking multiple PhD students who will work as GRAs in the field of deep learning, machine learning, constrained optimization, and their applications to cybersecurity. Please refer to our recent publications listed below and GRA students will be working for similar topics, including but not limited to i) enhancing generative models such as generative adversarial networks, ii) enhancing knowledge graph embedding for scalability and accuracy, iii) solving optimization problems in cybersecurity and social networks (e.g., optimally allocating security analysts against security alarms, finding a set of social sensors to detect outbreaks in social media, etc.). They will also conduct many practical research projects for cybersecurity applications, such as fake data synthesis. Below is a list of recent publications on these topics.

Detailed advice will be provided but preference will be given to self-motivated students who can perform literature survey and design algorithms by themselves beyond the advice. Successful candidates may also have mature programming skills for Python (with various machine learning and data mining libraries such as Scikit-Learn), Tensorflow, and/or Java. The initial GRA contract will be for one year but can be extended until the end of PhD study depending on performance. The GRA support will consists of the standard support package of Volgenau School of Engineering.
