Research

Students and faculty work on research projects together.  Current projects include a $225,000 grant from the National Threat Reduction Agency to improve sensor networks for emergency personnel around the globe.

Computer Science students are working with Dr. Crowley to research improving Ethernet delivery systems. GU faculty bring a wealth of research and work experience to the Computer Science labs.

A recent graduate is working with NASA on programs to improve air traffic controller response.  Another is working at Google as a software engineer. Undergraduate research gives our students a competitive edge in the job market.
