Future

At this time I don't know if I will be recruiting new PhD students for Fall'25. Nevertheless, if you are interested in a PhD with a focus on algorithms, you are strongly encouraged to apply. The department is expected to have at least 30 openings for PhD students, and other faculty in the area of algorithms are expected to look for new students. See our poster and the webpage with information about the admission criteria.
