three interdisciplinary research institutes, including the Institute for
Data, Intelligent Systems, and Computation (I-DISC). ISE currently has 19
full- time faculty members, 141 undergraduate and 103 graduate students, 38
of whom are Ph.D. students. The ISE faculty maintains an outstanding
international reputation in a variety of research areas, including data
science and machine learning; mathematical optimization; stochastic models;
applied operations research; quantum computing; and uncertainty
quantification. CSE currently has 21 tenured and tenure-track professors
and 10 instructional faculty members, with vibrant and strong
undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs currently supporting more
than 600 students. The department has strengths in systems, robotics,
human-centered computing, data science, machine learning and AI. Both CSE
and ISE have extensive interdisciplinary ties with each other and with
other departments at Lehigh through master’s programs (such as the new MS
in Data Science) and the university’s flagship research institutes,
including I-DISC.
