When Kiril Vasilev started his Master's in Data Science at the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, he was taken aback by the intensity of the workload. In the latest episode of the "Student Stories" series, he shares how he adapted to this demanding new routine.
ETH Professor Thomas Gross retired five years ago, but continued to be responsible for the lecture ‘Introduction to Programming’. Now, his final retirement is imminent. In this interview, he describes his experiences at ETH Zurich, the developments in his field of research over the last thirty years and shares his thoughts about AI assistance in programming.
ETH Zurich professor Ralf Jung is on a mission to create a world in which buggy software is a thing of the past. His tools for achieving that goal are also his biggest intellectual passions: mathematics and logic.
ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne are intensifying their collaboration in artificial intelligence. They have founded the Swiss National AI Institute (SNAI) to address challenges in AI by leveraging their broad scientific expertise. The new institute draws on the expertise from various AI research disciplines as well as on the ETH AI Center and the EPFL AI Center.
Michal Friedman has been appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science. Her research at the interface between programming languages, systems and modern hardware has contributed to analysing the performance of persistent memory for data processing and improving system performance. Her research in relevant and cutting-edge areas of computer science strengthens the Department's capabilities. Congratulations!
The lecture halls are full, the corridors are busy: The Autumn Semester at ETH Zurich began on Monday, 16 September. The new Bachelor's and Master's students in the field of Computer Science have also started their respective degree programmes.
The IEEE Computer Society TCHPC Early Career Researchers Award for Excellence in High Performance Computing recognises individuals who have made outstanding contributions in high-performance computing within five years of receiving their doctorate. Dr Maciej Besta from ETH Zurich is one of those honoured people. Congratulations!
Professor Torsten Hoefler, Head of the Scalable Parallel Computing Laboratory at the Department of Computer Science, has been awarded the prestigious Max Planck-Humboldt Medal for his research in the field of computer science. Congratulations!
Artificial intelligence is making a comeback at ETH Zurich, with new continuing education courses designed to prepare leaders for the digital future and AI. One of the aims is to prevent a gap from opening up in society. (Prof. Bernd Gärtner)
On Saturday 14 September 2024, ETH Zurich launched its new supercomputer called Alps in Lugano. Switzerland now has one of the fastest computers in the world and a machine optimised for artificial intelligence like no other. (Prof. Torsten Hoefler, CSCS)
