Eric Rosenberg
Assistant Professor of Computing and Decision Sciences
Department of Computing and Decision Sciences
Ater receiving my PhD, I joined Bell Labs in NJ. At Bell Labs, and then at AT&T Labs, I worked on problems in capacity planning and the design and analysis of large networks. I then spent a year as a visiting professor in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department in the School of Engineering at Rutgers University, after which I ran the Computer Information Systems Program at Georgian Court University in Lakewood, NJ for three years, teaching courses in C++, Python, data structures, and Data Analytics for Business. In August 2023, I joined the Department of Computing and Decision Sciences in the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University.
