Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Industrial and Systems Engineering

Lehigh University

The Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) graduate program is global in scope for students interested in pursuing research at the cutting edge of the discipline.ISE research areas include operations research and logistics, information systems and technologies, and manufacturing systems and processes. Active research projects investigate supply chain logistics, electronic market intermediaries, discrete and combinatorial optimization, replacement analysis, transportation logistics, and parallel algorithms. The Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) Ph.D. program is comprehensive in scope for students interested in pursuing research at the cutting edge of the discipline. The research directions of the program include mathematical optimization, data science and machine learning, energy and service systems, and high-performance computing. Methodological research thrusts focus on optimization, machine learning, stochastics, and quantum computing. On the applied side, the expertise of our faculty revolves around the operations and analytics of energy, finance, healthcare, mobility & transportation, and supply chain management. The Lehigh ISE Ph.D. program offers a vibrant perspective on the next generation of data science, providing students with the knowledge base and research skills that are necessary to mine and analyze high-volume data using state-of-the-art optimization and stochastic modeling techniques.
