About the course

This work benefits from many decades of intellectual heritage in information and data science, and in turn guides the future evolution of information technology and data science. Graduate education in information sciences and systems emphasizes breadth and fundamentals in probability, systems, statistics, optimization, and machine learning. Our research focuses on principles and underlying theories exemplified by theoretical machine learning, optimization, information theory, statistics, signal, image and video processing, control and reinforcement learning, coding theory, data transmission and compression, and network science. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering doctoral program draws students from all over the world. Most candidates enter the program directly after completing an undergraduate degree in disciplines such as electrical engineering, computer science, or physics. Although our doctoral program is one of the largest at Princeton, its scale still allows students to receive personal attention and extensive faculty interaction.
