Theory Research
Theoretical computer science research at URCS focuses on algorithms, computational complexity, and randomness/pseudorandomness, and on their connections to and applications in a wide range of fields: combinatorics, computational social choice theory, cryptography, economics, Markov chains/counting, security, and much more.
