We cover several research sub-areas, including:

• approximation algorithms
• combinatorial optimization and discrete mathematics
• computability and computational complexity theory
• computational geometry
• data structures
• dynamic and online algorithms
• formal language and automata theory
• formal verification
• numerical algorithms
• parallel and distributed algorithms
• foundations of probability

We apply our theoretical insights to a variety of applications, among which:

• computer graphics and computer-aided geometric design
• model checking
• graph and network problems
• program analysis
• scheduling
• security
• VLSI computer-aided design

We plan to refine our expertise in the above-mentioned research areas and applications, and to explore related areas and new applications. We wish to train a new generation of leading researchers in algorithms and theory.
