On Behalf of the MKSE Community at Penn: Welcome!
Networks influence virtually every aspect of our lives: from business and investments, to communication and information access, to scientific discovery and medicine, to government policymaking and security. To understand and predict behavior, and to design new capabilities and services, we must study understand people, systems, and incentives, and how the structure and properties of networks affects interactions.

Members of the Singh Program on Market and Social Systems Engineering study networked interactions, including the interplay of technology, algorithms, economics, and sociology. As a member of the Program you'll participate in cutting-edge research in networks, markets, optimization, and information management in the MKSE Research Center. You'll have the opportunity to form teams and compete in exciting and fun extracurricular activities. You'll get a chance to meet many alumni and industry luminaries in our Speaker Series, and you'll apply for internships at the most exciting tech firms. You'll also be part of a community of students and faculty passionate about the positive impact technology can have in today's world. We hope you'll be as excited about being an "MKSEr" as the rest of us!
