USC has a strong and active Theory and Algorithms group, with research spanning a broad range of topics within theoretical computer science. Our group has made significant contributions to algorithmic game theory, algorithmic number theory, biological computing, computational geometry, cryptography, graph theory, learning theory, numerical analysis, optimization, privacy, quantum computing, social network analysis and the theory of computing. A large, active, and collaborative student body makes USC a vibrant and welcoming environment in which to conduct world-class research in theoretical computer science. Here are some recent photos of our students at a group social and theory hike!
Subscribe to our mailing list to get involved! We welcome all USC affiliated students (undergraduates, masters, PhD) and professors.
Announcements for meetings and talks are sent via Google list USC-Theory-Group at http://groups.google.com/group/USC-Theory-Group. That list is used for internal announcements (lunches, ...), discussions, etc. Subscription is by approval only, but every subscriber can post to that list.
If you are not a member of the CS Theory Group, but would like to receive announcements about talks of broader interest (external speakers in theory seminar or CS colloquium talks, as well as occasional talks outside USC), you can subscribe to our other Google list: http://groups.google.com/group/USC-Theory. There is only a small number of trusted people who can post to this list, so you won't be spammed.
If you are not added to the mailing list within a few days, feel free to send a reminder to agyork[at]usc.edu.
