Do you look around and wonder how to make things better?

Do you want to make everyday processes more efficient, safer, less expensive, and environmentally sustainable?

Are you challenged to solve the problems others can't see?

Rutgers' Industrial Engineering program teaches students how to figure out large problems and optimize systems.

Research Areas

Computer line grid in blue with colorful data points charted.

With current advances in data capturing technology, different kinds of information sources and sensor signals are increasingly used to assess the quality of products and processes in many industries, including the automotive industry, electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, and stamping and chemical processing.

Optimization and Data Science

Automotive factory setting with orange robotic arms.

Main interests include investigating advanced manufacturing processes to produce discrete products at micro-scales and related production and manufacturing systems for achieving high quality, reliability, efficiency, and better sustainability as related to the interaction of people, machines, materials, products, computers, sensors, energy sources, and environmental factors.

Advanced Manufacturing and Production
