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 welcome to attend our regular research seminar.
We supervise theses, which are scientifically published if appropriate.
For past courses, see here.
