New faculty members in Theoretical Computer Science

The ILLC is pleased to announce the hiring of two new faculty members who will be joining the Theoretical Computer Science research unit in the coming months.

Balder ten Cate (PhD Amsterdam, 2005), currently a fixed-term senior researcher at the ILLC and previously a software engineer at Google, will join the ILLC as Associate Professor this summer. Balder's research spans a number of applications of logic in computer science and AI, with a particular focus on data management and knowledge representation, as well as computational learning theory.

Rebecca Reiffenhäuser (PhD Aachen, 2018), currently a postdoc at Sapienza University in Rome, will join the ILLC as Assistant Professor in December. The focus of Rebecca's research is on the design and analysis of algorithms in the presence of uncertainty, when full information about the problem at hand is unavailable or cannot be processed. Her work has strong links to algorithmic game theory and machine learning.
