We are delighted to announce that Systems Science & Industrial Engineering (SSIE) at Binghamton University has been elevated from 'department' to 'school' effective September 1, 2024. This upgrade reflects exceptional growth in faculty size, research funding, student enrollment, and overall academic excellence over the past decade. This academic year, SSIE will be home to 37 tenured/tenure-track faculty members, ~400 graduate students, and ~200 undergraduate students.

Recently, U.S. News & World Report ranked us #26 ISE graduate program in the U.S. among public schools. According to the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) database, we are now the second-largest program in the nation by faculty size. The new SSIE School is home to five SUNY distinguished professors, three Empire Innovation Professors (EIP), and Watson College’s only named professorship. SSIE's research expenditures in 2023-24 were $10,971,622, representing ~43% of the expenditures in Watson and ~20% of the expenditures at Binghamton University.

We are grateful to our faculty, staff, and students, whose limitless dedication and unparalleled hard work were the catalysts for our transformation into a school. This is truly a testament to our diverse team's relentless commitment to academic excellence. So proud of our amazing team and grateful to our supporters! The best is truly yet to come for the School of Systems Science & Industrial Engineering at Binghamton University!

Celebrating wonderful news with esteemed academic partners!

Today is the first day of Orientation for the 12th cohort beginning the Executive Health Systems - Manhattan program this fall. We are having a blast so far and looking forward to a great year ahead. More to follow...

Just one week ago, we celebrated at the Recognition Ceremony for the 11th cohort of the Executive Health Systems - Manhattan program. We are very proud of this year's graduates and look forward to witnessing their future works. Official photos to follow soon - in the meantime, we thought we'd share some candid pics here. Thanks again to everybody who helped make this year's Recognition Ceremony a great event and congrats again to the Class of 2024!!

Congratulations to Rahul Gupta! On July 30, 2024 Rahul defended his thesis "A Digital Twin Framework Leveraging Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform for the Real-Time Stencil Printing Process." Congrats again, Rahul!

Kudos to Research Fellow Dr. Ahmed A. Hamed for publishing this xFakeSci learning algorithm system to detect fake scientific articles. Read more via Nature Scientific Reports.

Detection of ChatGPT fake science with the xFakeSci learning algorithm - Scientific Reports Generative AI tools exemplified by ChatGPT are becoming a new reality. This study is motivated by the premise that “AI generated content may exhibit a distinctive behavior that can be separated from scientific articles”. In this study, we show how articles can be generated using means of prompt ...

Last month we bid "adieu" to four talented young researchers from Université de Bordeaux. Gabriel, Remi, Lucien and Ewan joined research teams working with Dr. Borgesen and Dr. Poliks to complete projects for their home institution programs in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing. To celebrate the teams' efforts, Dr. Borgesen hosted a farewell picnic for the students. We hope to welcome some of these visitors back next year for our graduate program and wish all of our student researchers a safe and happy summer break!

Shout-out to PhD ISE student Farah Altarazi! Earlier this month Farah received the Outstanding Student Award at the 9th North American International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IEOM Society International) that took place in Washington, DC. Congrats again, Farah!!

We are delighted to announce that U.S. News and World Report ranked our Industrial and Systems Engineering graduate program #26 among public institutions ( #36 overall) for 2024!
