Michal Friedman will take up her position as Tenure Track Assistant Professor in December. In this interview, she talks about why she decided to pursue an academic career, what goals she'd like to achieve at ETH Zurich, and recommends a piece of pop culture, which revolves around a very famous computer scientist.
The Bachelor's degree programme in Computer Science opens up a wide range of options and career prospects. But getting started can be full of challenges. Five students talk about the highs and lows of their studies - and why it's worth persevering.
The Association of Computer Science Students (VIS) recently hosted the second Bachelor's Graduation Ceremony, marking a significant milestone for the graduates. Taking place on Friday 25 October 2024 in the packed Audi Max, the event was a blend of formal celebration and personal touches.
In this We Are ETH podcast episode, David Dao, D-INFK alumnus, co-founder and chief scientist of GainForest, talks about his journey from climate activism, his experiences at the COP climate conferences to winning the XPRIZE.
Niao He and Christian Holz, both currently Tenure Track Assistant Professors at ETH Zurich, have been promoted to Associate Professors of Computer Science. Niao He works in the general field of mathematical optimisation, particularly the basics and methods of intelligent decision-making. Christian Holz conducts research on designing intelligent interfaces and technologies that will complement human beings in the future and enable them to interact with content.
Students of the department have voted for their favourite teaching assistants. VIS board member Efe Berke Alıcı announced the winners at the last Department Conference. Congratulations to all the recipients!

The new hires, all experts in computer vision, are the latest AI researchers to jump to a direct competitor in an intensively competitive talent market. Zhai, Beyer, and Kolesnikov all live in Zurich, according to LinkedIn, which has become a relatively prominent tech hub in Europe. The city is home to ETH Zurich, a public research university with a globally renowned computer science department. (D-INFK)
