Computer Science Professors Christos Papadimitriou and Mihalis Yannakakis received the John von Neumann Theory Prize for their research in computational complexity theory that explores the boundaries ...

Today, there’s a thriving interaction between TCS and physics (mostly centered around quantum computing, but also around, for example, phase transitions in random constraint satisfaction problems).

Computational complexity and computability are central themes in theoretical computer science that address the fundamental question of what can be computed and at what cost. Computability theory ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

Avi Wigderson and László Lovász won for their work developing complexity theory and graph theory, respectively, and for connecting the two fields. When Avi Wigderson and László Lovász began their ...

Our research area encompasses the study of computation, computational models, computational complexity, algorithm design, algorithm verification, combinatorial optimization, computational biology and ...

One of the biggest prizes in maths has been awarded to two people for their “foundational contributions to theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics”. László Lovász at the Alfréd Rényi ...

Computational complexity and proof systems constitute a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, addressing both the inherent difficulty of algorithmic problems and the efficiency of formal ...

For Shang-Hua Teng, theoretical computer science has never been purely theoretical. Now 58, Teng is a professor of computer science at the University of Southern California and a two-time winner of ...

Computers are all around us. How does this affect the world we live in? This course is a broad introduction to computing technology for humanities and social science students. Topics will be drawn ...
