ETH and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems are intensifying their partnership to promote doctoral candidates and research: ETH professors Otmar Hilliges, Thomas Hofmann, Andreas Krause and Klaas P. Prüssmann are new Max Planck fellows.

Professor emeritus Carl August Zehnder is one of the founders of the Department of Computer Science. In this video, he talks about how his research field developed out of practical necessity, the competitive pressure against other departments, and the importance of infrastructure at ETH Zurich.

Professor Ana Klimovic from the Systems Group was granted the prestigious Facebook Research Award. The award aims to support innovative solutions to the challenges that still remain in the data management community.

For a week in September, scientific staff at the Department of Computer Science met in the picturesque mountain town of Scuol, Switzerland for a double-edition of the annual VMI Summer Retreat.

The Swiss business magazine Bilanz has published its annual list of Digital Shapers, the 100 top contributors to digitalisation in Switzerland. It includes Professor Adrian Perrig as well a number of alumni and spin-offs from the Department of Computer Science.
