Faculty Fast Facts: Judah Diament, Chair of Computer Science

I thought I would be a rebbe and do some Computer Science on the side.
2. What aspect of your job with YU do you most enjoy?
Our students, our campus culture, and our institutional mission and values are vastly superior to those of other American universities, and it’s a pleasure to teach the best students in the best yeshiva/university.
3. How has your past work experience prepared you for this position?
My years at IBM, Goldman Sachs, and other large corporations taught me what it takes to succeed in the world of tech that our students want to enter. I also got to know a number of world-class people in the industry. That perspective, and those connections, have been critical drivers in how we have reshaped the C.S. major over the last few years.
4. What are some of your goals for the YC Computer Science department?
Everything we do in the CS department is driven by one simple goal: helping the students succeed at the highest levels they can. There are all kinds of things that have happened, and will, b’ezras Hashem, happen in the future to meet that goal, and different students are looking for different kinds of success, but student success is the bottom line and ultimate goal of it all.
5. What would your colleagues be surprised to learn about you?
I have 14 patents from my R&D work at IBM.
