Open house at the Departments of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) at the University of Salzburg: projects, presentations, and up-to-date information about studying and research. We invite students to explore the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science degree programs and offer everyone interested the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the departments. We will showcase projects from our research groups and aim to spark interest in computer science through interactive workshops and presentations.

Four research papers from the “Big Data Algorithms” research group have been accepted for presentation at the A*-ranked ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA). SODA is the top conference in the field of algorithms and one of the most prestigious conferences in theoretical computer science. In 2025, the conference will take place in mid-January in New Orleans. The “Big Data Algorithms” research group has been based at the University of Salzburg since 2022 and is led by Prof.

Within just a few days, the Department of Computer Science had the pleasure of celebrating two successful dissertation defenses together with the doctoral candidates, their friends, and families. After years of intensive and diligent work, Gregor Bankhamer (left in the picture) and Tijn de Vos (right in the picture) successfully completed their doctorates. Mr. Bankhamer focused in his dissertation, titled “Randomized Algorithms for Distributed Consensus and Local Failover Routing,” on two fundamental problems in distributed systems.
