LogiCS doctoral college focuses on interdisciplinary research topics
covering

- computational logic, and applications of logic to

- databases and artificial intelligence,

- computer-aided verification,

- security and privacy,

- cyber-physical systems, as well as to

- distributed systems.

 

THE PROGRAM

Our PhD program LogiCS is focusing on logic and its applications in computer
science. Successful applicants will work with and be mentored by leading
researchers in the fields of computational logic, databases and knowledge
representation, computer-aided verification, security and privacy,
cyber-physical systems, and distributed systems.
