MSc in Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering - Theory of Computation (Algorithmic Game Theory) 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 methodology, characteristic of theoretical computer science, to 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. Our work explores fundamental resource tradeoffs—such as time complexity, memory usage, randomness, communication costs, and energy consumption—in both classical and quantum computing contexts. Theory faculty and students collaborate extensively with colleagues across the division, as well as with researchers from Mathematics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial and Operations Engineering, Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, and other university departments.
