We are a group of (mostly) theoretical computer scientists who explore fundamental concepts in computation and programming language semantics. This often involves profound and surprising connections between different areas of computer science and mathematics. From category theory to ??-calculus and computational effects, from topology to constructive mathematics, from game semantics to program compilation, this is a diverse field of research that continues to provide new insight and underlying structure. See our webpage, with links to individual researchers, here: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/groupings/theory/ Information about PhD applications may be found here: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate-research/ If you are considering applying, please contact any of us. We will be very happy to discuss the opportunities available. Best regards, the Birmingham CS theory group -- Mart??n Escard??
