Cyber security is often portrayed as an educational problem or a resource problem, shifting blame on users, system administrators, or the budget holders limiting the system administrators’ abilities. However, there are many hard problems that remain unsolved and that require a coordinated scientific investigation.

Having grown significantly in the number of group members of the last months, Ailsa organised a TCS group outing to the Jaap Eden Baan, where we had great fun ice skating!

Nicolas Resch, tenure-track assistant professor in the TCS group has been awarded a personal VENI grant from NWO, congratulations!!

All the TCS group members joined up for our first group outing, which doubled as good-bye event for Feline, who has been assisting the TCS groups over the last few months.

Finally launched a new group website.

We are happy to announce the hiring of John van de Wetering as new assistant professor in the theory of computer science group. John van de Wetering (PhD Radboud University 2020), currently postdoc at Oxford University, will join the TCS group at the Informatics Institute in December 2022.

Have you ever wondered about the mathematical techniques that underpin the information revolution that, for example, allow you to read this website? Do you have a passion for mathematics and a desire to solve problems arising in the theoretical study of computation? Are you excited by the prospect of collaborating with other mathematically-inclined researchers to attack these questions? We are seeking a PhD student to carry out cutting-edge research in theoretical computer science (TCS).

We are happy to announce the hiring of three new faculty members in Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) at the University of Amsterdam, thereby further growing the active community of TCS researchers in Amsterdam.

Rebecca Reiffenhäuser and Balder ten Cate are joining the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), and Nicolas Resch is joining the Theory of Computer Science group at the Informatics Institute, all at the Faculty of Science (FNWI) of the UvA.

The arrival of quantum computers will have major societal consequences, especially in the field of cybersecurity. A new consortium led by Sebastian De Haro of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation and the Institute of Physics of the University of Amsterdam has received a grant of over 900,000 euros from NWO’s Nationale Wetenschapsagenda (National Science Agenda, NWA) to study the impact of this transition and to help manage it.
