SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE
The School of Computer Science, broadly grouped into areas of Theory of
Computation, Artificial Intelligence, and Software Engineering, offers
a number of PhD studentships each year.
The Theory of Computation group concentrates on the development of
logics and semantics for programming languages. The overall aim is to
provide intuitive conceptual tools for the everyday practice of
programming. Within this framework, the activities range from abstract
mathematics to issues of implementation and software development.
Current research projects include probabilistic computation and model
checking, semantics for concurrent systems, observation logics, exact
real number computation, semantics for databases, (linear) functional
programming, type systems for optimization of programs, and automated
deduction.
Current members of the Theory group are: Dr Valeria de Paiva, Professor
Achim Jung, Dr Marta Kwiatkowska, Dr Eike Ritter and Dr Mark Ryan.
There are also two Research Fellows (Dr Natasha Alechina and Dr Neil
Ghani) and 9 PhD students associated with the group, of the total of 30
in the School. Possible topics for research include, but are not
restricted to:
Probabilistic and stochastic systems
Software verification
Semantics for concurrency
Extensions to the relational database model (theory and implementation)
Semantics of object-oriented languages
Linear abstract machines
Type systems for imperative and OO programming
Machine-assisted reasoning
Categorical models of rewriting
Applicants should possess a good honours degree (equivalent to an upper
second class degree in a UK university) in Mathematics or Computer
Science, or a closely related title. Applicants willing to undertake
building software systems as part of their research are particularly
encouraged.
Informal enquiries can be directed to any member of the group:
