Computer Science

Overview

Areas of study

• Algorithms and data structures – particular focus on I/O-efficient algorithms and algorithm engineering for massive data sets.
• Bioinformatics – development and application of models and methods for analyzing biological and biomedical data, covering topics such as algorithmic development, algorithm engineering, software development, and statistical modeling focusing on evolutionary genome analysis, structural bioinformatics and medical bioinformatics.
• Computer mediated activity – development of new interaction techniques, methods and theories for computer-mediated activities of work and everyday life.
• Cryptography and security – in particular, public-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols, and quantum cryptography.
• Data-intensive systems – topics related to spatio-temporal data management, query processing and indexing, high-dimensional and multimedia data, and infrastructure for mobile services and cloud computing.
• Logic and Semantics - semantics of programming languages and type theories, models and logics for reasoning about programs.
• Mathematical computer science – computational complexity theory, algorithmic and computational game theory, mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, computational algebra, real algebraic geometry, and multi-agent systems.
• Programming languages – object-oriented and functional programming, web technologies, and specification, verification, testing and analysis of software.
• Ubiquitous computing and interaction – creating concepts for future interactive spaces at schools, libraries, museums, homes, and workplaces.

• Use, design and innovation – including participatory design in innovation processes,

Employment after graduation from  Computer Science at Aarhus University

• After graduation, many of our students are employed in the IT industry in the Aarhus area, which includes companies such as Google, Uber, Systematic, and Trifork, however many choose to seek opportunities internationally, or obtain academic positions either in Denmark or abroad.
