Welcome to Theory Seminar
Dates and Time: Tuesdays, 9-11 am, biweekly (Spring 2024)
Location: Rice Hall, 414 
We are a group of researchers interested in theoretical computer science (TCS) at UVA. The goal of this seminar is to share both novel and classic ingenious ideas in TCS, broadly speaking. Potential topics include (but not limited to) algorithms, complexity, learning theory, coding theory, game theory, and cryptography. Subscribe to our mailing list if you want to receive updates.
Everyone is welcome to join. Of course, you are more than welcome to give a theory talk! Please send us an email to:
