Teaching at the Chair for Algorithm Engineering

We offer lectures, seminars, and projects on theoretical computer science and algorithm engineering.

Complementing our courses, we prepared a number of online teaching units.
Students interested in our work are very welcome to attend our regular research seminar.
We also offer both Bachelor's and Master's theses.
The results of those theses are regularly published in leading scientific venues.
For past courses, see here.

Algorithm Engineering

Our research focus is on theoretical computer science and algorithm engineering. We are equally interested in the mathematical foundations of algorithms and developing efficient algorithms in practice. A special focus is on random structures and methods.
