Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Barreto is an Associate Professor and researcher with 9 years of focused experience at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, currently shaping curriculum and research in Cybersecurity Engineering at George Mason University. He blends academic rigor (PhD from ITA) with hands-on systems engineering, having led large national programs from smart grids and UAV systems to national airspace surveillance architectures. As a founder and consultant he translated cyber requirements into executable RFPs and secured complex OT/IT integrations for EDP-Brazil, applying frameworks like MITRE for risk-driven architecture. His technical repertoire spans Java and Python development, Bayesian and HTN decision systems, and practical security protocol design—work that contributed to a patented ADS-B security solution. He is comfortable leading multidisciplinary teams across industry, defense and academia and often embeds formal methods and measurable KPIs into cybersecurity architectures. An interesting throughline: he routinely combines aerospace operational knowledge with AI-driven threat modeling to protect highly distributed, safety-critical systems.
