Divisions

The Department of Computer Science is home to 17 research groups (divisions) that cover a wide range of disciplines in teaching and research. Key areas of focus include cyber-physical systems, information systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning, networks and resilience, and neurotechnology and robotics.

Department

Founded in 1995, the Department of Computer Science (IIF) is part of the Faculty of Engineering, the youngest faculty at the university.  A modern campus with state-of-the-art equipment combined with comprehensive e-learning programmes ensures excellent working conditions.

Research

“Designing the Future” – more than 100 researchers working at IIF.

Our scientific papers are regularly presented at the most prestigious national and international conferences and are published in the most important scientific journals. Research and teaching are closely connected, and the exchange across institutional borders is daily practice at our Faculty. Practical research is frequently carried out in cooperation with our students.

You can find out more about IIF’s research by looking at the following

Studies

Robots that act independently, computers that learn to interpret images or algorithms that become faster and smarter. Nothing is as diverse as computer science.
