Alexandre Barreto is an Associate Professor, Department of Cyber Security Engineering at George Mason University.

He has applied his significant experience as an air traffic and air defense infrastructure manager to a career specializing in the field of cybersecurity and networking, which in conjunction with his research on cyber impact assessment, has led to applications in cyber and transportation security, and decision support systems in defense and critical infrastructure areas. These topics are at the core of his classroom activities at both graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as his research path.

Barreto is a researcher in impact assessment and secure air transportation protocols and developed innovative applications and extensions that aid in the fight against cyber-warfare. He received his MS and PhD from Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica in Brazil.

I’m Connor Wadlin, a Cybersecurity specialist with a keen eye on the world around me! As an Engineer, my focus is on improving the lives of everyone, not just the rich and powerful.

At onAir, I am the Hub Coordinator for Cybersecurity. That means I do a little bit of everything, from curating posts, hosting my own onAircast series titled “Cybersecurity @GMU”, and helping others do the same. My focus is on providing the BEST platform for people to learn, discuss, and engage around Cybersecurity so that we can ALL live happier, safer, and more fulfilling lives together!

I’m happy you’re here, so thank you for taking some time out of your day to learn 🙂

I’m Zeinab Shariff, a Cybersecurity Engineering student with a strong interest in building secure, practical, and human-centered cyber solutions. I care deeply about making cybersecurity more approachable, especially for students and early-career professionals navigating the field.

At onAir, I serve as a Cyber Hub Curator, where I help curate content, support community engagement, and contribute to discussions that make cybersecurity easier to understand and more relevant to real-world problems. My focus is on fostering a space where people can learn, ask questions, and grow together in a field that can often feel overwhelming or inaccessible.

I’m really glad you’re here, and I hope this hub helps you learn something new and useful along the way:)
