Truth or False: ISE Faculty Edition!

As part of our new ISE faculty video series, we asked Professors Molly Goldstein, Chrysafis Vogiatzis, and Avinash Gupta some “Truth or False” questions to see what they really think about ISE.

How many can you get right? Watch to find out!

Artificial intelligence is changing how we understand the world around us—including the animals we care for.

A new project from the Department of Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering is developing Behav2Need, an AI-powered framework that translates animal behavior into actionable insights. By combining AI, computer vision and behavioral science, the research aims to help caregivers better understand animals' needs while advancing more ethical, data-driven decision-making.

This summer, Illinois hosted Ph.D. students from universities across the country for AI-SCORE, a weeklong program focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer science, and operations research.

Led in part by ISE Associate Professor Lavanya Marla, the program welcomed Ph.D. students from across the country to learn how AI and optimization can work together to solve complex, real-world challenges.

Last week, students in SE 398, Engineering System Development, showcased the projects they designed and built over the course of four weeks. Applying systems engineering principles such as system design and analysis, functional prototyping, and hardware testing and evaluation, they demonstrated the innovative solutions they developed throughout the course.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on in the SE 398, and the impressive results of our students' hard work!

For graduating ISE student Krishna Prabhakar, building an R2-D2 wasn't just a passion project; it was one of the reasons he chose engineering.

Drawing on concepts from systems engineering classes like SE 413 and SE 423, Krishna developed his project throughout his time at Illinois, demonstrating how interdisciplinary learning can turn ambitious ideas into reality.

Congratulations on your graduation, Krishna! We can't wait to see where your next innovations take you.🎓

With our students off for the summer, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the faculty and staff who make ISE what it is.
Our annual appreciation event was an opportunity to connect and recognize another successful academic year.
Thank you to all of our faculty and staff for your dedication to our students, research and ISE community. We are grateful for everything you do.

As AI systems increasingly rely on massive datasets, one big question remains: how do data markets stay stable when the “product” is information itself?

New research from The Grainger College of Engineering researchers introduces a new framework for pricing data in AI-era markets — helping explain how stable pricing can emerge even when buyers and sellers value data differently.

The work, selected for an Oral presentation at 2026 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), could help shape more reliable and efficient AI data economies in the future.
