core areas in theoretical computer science with connections to pure
mathematics as well as to applied areas and industry and basic research in
discrete mathematics. Our focus areas are algorithms, logic, and graph
theory. Core areas of research are structuring, indexing, searching, and
interpreting Big Data, logic-based verification and model synthesis*,*
logical foundations of multi-agent systems, and investigating structural
properties of graphs and their influence on algorithmic efficiency.
