The Department provides education and conducts research in information systems design and development, artificial intelligence technologies, information security, programming, and computer systems.
Head of Department: Bakayev Ilhom Izatovich — Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Technical Sciences, Associate Professor.
The Department of Informatics, Computer Engineering and Technical-Sector Facilities was established. Its first Head was T.X. Sharipov, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Associate Professor.
The Department operated under names including "Informatics and Mathematical Modeling," "Computational Mathematics and Informatics," and "Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies."
The Department was reorganized as "Information Technologies and Systems," with two independent departments formed from its structure.
Under Order No. 1166-Sh dated August 27, the Department was renamed "Information Systems and Digital Technologies."
Under Order No. 327-III dated April 1, I.I. Bakayev was appointed Head of the Department. Order No. 390-III of April 20 established its current name.
Over the years, the Department was headed by T.X. Sharipov, I.I. Jalolov, Z.Sh. Jumayev, R.D. Aloyev, A.G‘. Hayitov, J. Jumayev, I.G‘. Rasulov, T.B. Boltayev, O.I. Jalolov, N.S. Sayidova, and T.R. Shafiyev.
Between 2021 and 2025, T.R. Shafiyev, I.I. Bakayev, I.U. Shadmanov, G.Y. Bo‘ronova, U.H. Hayitov, S.S. Muxlisov, F.N. Nurulloyev, Sh.E. Nazarov, and M.Z. Husenov successfully defended their PhD dissertations.
One of the distinguished teachers who contributed to the Department's development is Telman Bakayevich Boltayev, who participated in preparing educational and methodological publications and mentoring young researchers.
