Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) is known worldwide for its high academic quality and the social relevance of its research programmes. The faculty’s excellent facilities accentuate its international position in teaching and research. Within this interdisciplinary and international setting the faculty employs more than 1100 employees, including about 400 graduate students and about 2100 students. Together they work on a broad range of technical innovations in the fields of sustainable energy, telecommunications, microelectronics, embedded systems, computer and software engineering, interactive multimedia and applied mathematics.

The Department Software Technology (ST) is one of the leading Dutch departments in research and academic education in computer science, employing over 150 people. The department Software Technology is responsible for a large part of the curriculum of the bachelor’s and master’s programmes in Computer Science as well as the master’s programme Embedded Systems. The inspiration for its research topics is largely derived from technical ICT problems in industry and society related to large-scale distributed processing, embedded systems, programming productivity, and web-based information analysis. 

The Software Engineering Research Group SERG conducts research in the areas of software evolution, software testing, software analytics and AI-based software engineering. The section employs over 25 people, including academic staff, around 15 PhD students, and several postdoctoral researchers. The software engineering research group (SERG) is an internationally leading research group in software

engineering, and active in such areas as software architecture, software testing, software evolution, mining software repositories and search-based software engineering. The group is responsible for programming and software engineering education at the bachelor's and master's levels in the TU Delft Computer Science curriculum.
