Computer science at ISTA encompasses a wide variety of research topics, based on a solid foundation of mathematical rigor and a focus on developing new algorithms and formalisms.
Foundations of software-systems theory, game theory, and formal methods (Chatterjee, Henzinger), distributed algorithms and systems (Alistarh, Monika Henzinger), machine learning, discrete optimization, and computer vision (Kolmogorov, Lampert), data science and information theory (Mondelli), computational geometry and topology (Edelsbrunner, Wagner), cryptography (Pietrzak), security of decentralized systems (Kokoris-Kogias), computer graphics and physics simulation (Wojtan), and computational fabrication and optimization (Bickel) are some of the research strengths of our faculty.
