Karl Bringmann appointed as Full Professor

Karl Bringmann has been appointed as Full Professor of Theoretical Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science. He specialises in the design of combinatorial algorithms and fine-grained complexity. The field of research he launched was able to provide the first rigorous evidence that certain computational problems cannot be solved in linear time. Through his appointment, the Department is strengthening the research area of algorithms and complexity. Congratulations!
Yannis Chronis appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor

Yannis Chronis has been appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Database Management Systems in the Department of Computer Science.
