About our research

Research institutes

This specialisation is connected to the research that is performed at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS), as well as the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP). Researchers from both institutes work together in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. The research in this field is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the mathematical foundations of computer science. 

Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (ICIS)

The overall goal of ICIS is to improve the security and reliability of computer- based systems and algorithms based on mathematically sound theories. Through its cutting-edge research, ICIS is a forerunner in terms of research and contributes to society, especially in the field of cyber security. ICIS looks beyond its own field as it integrates the know-how with other disciplines such as law, medicine, and neuroscience. Through this approach, ICIS is relevant not only in research, but also tackles the challenges of IT in modern-day society.

Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP)

IMAPP carries out fundamental research in mathematics, high-energy physics and astrophysics with special attention for interdisciplinary topics. The overarching research theme is the origin and evolution of the universe and its underlying mathematical structures. Even though IMAPP covers different research fields, scientists are working closely together on interdisciplinary research topics.
