Theoretical computer science studies the fundamental methods and mathematics of computation: the design of efficient algorithms, models and frameworks for computing, and the resource requirements of computational tasks.
Research topics: algebraic algorithms, approximation algorithms, combinatorial optimization, cryptography, Security & Complexity, distributed and parallel computing, natural computation, parameterized algorithms.

The newest professor to join the department of computer science tells us about how, when you cut through all the hype, quantum computing is full of interesting challenges that unites diverse fields
A society gone online needs encrypters, white hats and appropriately suspicious citizens.
Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak started as assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science in January. He is looking forward to collaborative research and illuminating the beauty of computational geometry to students and colleagues alike.
Any method designed to find a matching is either slow or leads to a wrong solution
DNA microscopy makes it possible to view biological molecules on micro-level without expensive optics.
Even though theoretical computer science is – as its name suggests – theoretical, its connection to real-life questions is easy to draw, says Assistant Professor Jara Uitto.
Research focuses on the foundations of distributed computing. The key research question is related to the concept of locality in the context large computer networks.
The group seeks to understand, model, and program naturally occurring or nature-inspired self-organising processes.
