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.

Congratulations to ISE senior Elliot Finn on receiving an honorable mention for Student Tutor of the Year at Illinois! 🎉

As Head Learning Assistant for SE 101, Elliot has supported students through his leadership and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed. From developing supplemental learning materials to guiding fellow students through future coursework, he has made a lasting impact inside and outside the classroom.

We’re proud to share this well-deserved recognition! Congrats Elliot and best of luck to you as you continue your engineering journey as a Product Application Engineer with Smalley.

Students, faculty and researchers came together for the 3rd Annual ISE Student Conference. This year's event showcased innovative research in data-driven intelligent systems, AI, healthcare, manufacturing, analytics and more.

The event featured keynote presentations from Nagi Gebraeel and Navid Azizan, student presentations throughout the day, and an evening poster session and networking reception that highlighted the collaborative spirit and breadth of research of the ISE community.

We had a great time bringing together all of our SE101 LAs and TAs alongside our Product Design Lab RAs and REU students to celebrate a year of hard work! Thank you for the energy and leadership you bring to our students, classrooms and labs. We’re grateful for all you do!!

We closed out our final Engineer in Residence of the semester last week with ISE alum Andy Williams. His advice to students was this:

“Most engineers are trained to produce the right answer. The ones who change things learn to engineer the right decision.”

His career, spanning consulting, analytics, executive coaching and large-scale commercial strategy transformation, reflects that difference.

A strong close to the year — and a clear reminder of what we aim to build in ISE. Thank you, Andy, and all of our EIRs who have made such an impact on our students this year!

Thank you to everyone that came out to participate and support ISE's annual Shark Tank Event!

ISE students pitched so many great ideas, but Team BioCalm brought home the win!

Huge thank you to our alumni judges: Toni Baumann, Gene Kiesel and Ryan Schermerhorn and to mentor and host Mike Loquercio for helping guide our teams.

Join us for the 3rd Annual ISE Student Conference on Friday, April 24, 2026!

Keynote Speakers 12PM-2PM

Nagi Gebraeel is the Georgia Power Professor in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, where he leads the Predictive Analytics and Intelligent Systems (PAIS) Research Group. His work focuses on developing predictive analytics and decision optimization models that improve the reliability, maintenance, and operational efficiency of complex industrial systems.

Navid Azizan is the Alfred H. (1929) and Jean M. Hayes Assistant Professor at MIT, where he holds dual appointments in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Control, Instrumentation & Robotics) and the Institute for Data, Systems & Society (IDSS) and is a Principal Investigator in the Laboratory for Information & Decision Systems (LIDS). Previously, he held the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton (1927) Chair. His research interests broadly lie in machine learning, systems and control, mathematical optimization, and network science. His research lab focuses on various aspects of reliable intelligent systems, with an emphasis on principled learning and optimization algorithms, with applications to autonomy and sociotechnical systems.

A big welcome back to campus, Jim Muenzenberger!

As today’s Engineer in Residence, Jim connected with ISE students and shared what critical thinking looks like in the real world. From his start in General Engineering at Illinois to leading global operations in advanced manufacturing, he brings decades of hands-on experience across the automotive and mobility industry.

Thanks for sharing your time and experience, Jim — these conversations make a real difference.
