Raz is a professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Operations Research at George Mason University&#8217;s College of Engineering and Computing. His research focuses on understanding the collaborative nature of autonomy and developing systems engineering methodologies for integrating autonomous systems. Raz&#8217;s research brings a systems engineering perspective, particularly inspired by complex adaptive systems, to information fusion and artificial intelligence\/machine learning&nbsp;technologies that form the foundations of collaborative and integrated autonomous systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to joining George Mason University, Raz was a visiting assistant professor at Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics where he led research projects on understanding complexity in systems of systems and introducing autonomy in high-speed and hypersonic aerospace systems. Raz holds a temporary faculty appointment with the U.S. Navy Naval Surface Warfare Center at Crane, Indiana&nbsp;in support of complex systems and information fusion research activities and has worked with John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU-APL) and the United States Missile Defense Agency. Raz has also worked as a systems engineer for Honeywell Aerospace on flight management and flight control systems for civilian and military aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raz is a co-chair of the International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Complex Systems Working Group and a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP). He is also a senior member of the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4514,"template":"","team_cats":[38],"class_list":["post-3244","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","team_cat-research-staff"],"aioseo_notices":[],"guten_post_layout_featured_media_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17-300x198.png",300,198,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"large":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"guten_post_layout_landscape_large":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"guten_post_layout_portrait_large":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"guten_post_layout_square_large":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"guten_post_layout_landscape":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"guten_post_layout_portrait":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"guten_post_layout_square":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"academix-single-team-thumb":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17-360x270.png",360,270,true],"academix-team-thumbnail":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17-263x216.png",263,216,true],"academix-event-thumbnail":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17.png",424,280,false],"academix-event-gallery-thumb":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17-227x168.png",227,168,true],"academix-blog-thumb":["https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5a0c2232-2c00-4d49-96f0-ab2d8f3a7f17-100x80.png",100,80,true]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/team\/3244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/team"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/team"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"team_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/araz.c4i.gmu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fteam_cats&post=3244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
