The Summer School Research Fellowship programme offers students from around the world the opportunity to gain their first research experience in various areas of computer science. Four students describe their research experiences and personal highlights.
Machine learning, AI and new technologies are rapidly changing industry. The CAS ETH in AI and Software Development is aimed at managers who want to make better informed decisions for their companies. It is part of the new MAS in AI and Digital Technology.
In this interview, Professor Kokologiannakis briefly discusses his research into automated software verification, his vision of teaching as an interactive process and the role models that inspired him to become an engineer. He also shares advice for young people considering an academic career in computer science, and reveals a book he thinks every researcher should read.
From devising forecasting models for the Federal Finance Administration and describing the latest trends in civil protection, ETH researchers routinely supply vital support to the Swiss state and help drive innovation. Among those researchers is Céline Herren from the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS). She completed her ETH Certificate of Advanced Studies in Cyber Security at the Department of Computer Science in autumn 2023.
In an interview with EPFL, Marco Seewer, Master’s student in the Network Security Group at the Department of Computer Science and recipient of the CYD Master Thesis Fellowship, talks about his current project and the advantages of conducting his thesis at the CYD Campus.
Almost 200 young female computer scientists from 56 countries took part in the European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI), which took place in the Netherlands from July 21 to 27. All four Swiss participants were delighted to receive a medal at the end.
Professor Barbara Solenthaler and her co-authors were awarded the prize in the category Theoretical Computer and Information Sciences. The Frontiers of Science Award is given every year to recent papers recognised for a major breakthrough in their fields. Congratulations!
Benjamin Bichsel, a doctoral student in the Secure, Reliable, and Intelligent Systems Lab, has been honoured with the prestigious ACM SIGPLAN John C. Reynolds Doctoral Dissertation Award in the area of programming languages. Congratulations!
800 employees and a total investment of 800 million Swiss francs: the online travel agency “Getyourguide” now plays in the top league. It was a different story when it started in 2008 in a mini office in Zurich's Technopark. (D-IFNK spin-off GetYourGuide)
A hack, a lawsuit, more departures from the security team – and now urgent warnings from tech commentators. How it could have come to this. (Prof. Florian Tramèr)
The ELLIS PhD Program is rich with inspiring stories of young AI scientists and their impressive research journeys, and this is one of them: Zhijing Jin is currently benefiting from joint supervision at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Germany and ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
