MSc in Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering - Theory of Computation (Combinatorial Optimization) in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

The Theory Group at the University of Michigan focuses on research that applies mathematical precision and rigorous methods characteristic of theoretical computer science. Their work spans diverse fields including combinatorial optimization, data structures, cryptography, quantum computing, parallel and distributed systems, algorithmic game theory, graph theory, geometry, combinatorics, and energy-efficient computing. They explore fundamental resource tradeoffs involving computation time, memory usage, randomness, communication, and energy consumption in both classical and quantum contexts. Faculty and students collaborate extensively within the division and with colleagues from Mathematics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial and Operations Engineering, Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, as well as other university departments.
