On 21 February 1972, Sven Skyum was the first graduate in computer science from Aarhus University. Last week, we were able to celebrate graduate number 2000 - Lasse Rønne Møller. At the same time, our newer IT-programme IT Product Development could celebrate graduate number 200 - Louise Mathiasen. Not just a big CONGRATULATIONS for the two 'anniversary graduates' but to the entire class of '22. Thank you for 5 good years - we hope you will keep in touch!

On July 1, the Department celebrated our 73 new master graduates in Computer Science and IT Product Development graduates. At the ceremony, Head of Department Kaj Grønbæk welcomed the 50 participating graduates and their families, alumni Aino Corry gave the graduation speech, and Vice-Dean of Education Kristine Kilså presented the graduates with their diploma and specially designed graduation poster. We also got to celebrate graduate #200 in IT Product Development and #2,000 in Computer Science 🎉

Finding out whether a question is too difficult to ever solve efficiently depends on figuring out just how hard it is. Associate professor Srikanth Srinivasan, Nutan Limaye (IT University in Copenhagen) and Sébastien Tavenas (Savoy Mont Blanc University, France) have shown how to do that for a major class of problems. Their results are further elaborated in Quanta Magazine. The research paper also won "Best Paper Award" at the annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) earlier this year.

Congratulations to postdoc Jonathan Sterling, from the Logic and Semantics research group, who has received the highly prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie postdoc fellowship. Jonathan will be working on synthetic methods in program verification, and the aim of the project is to extend the successful STC approach to a wider class of programming models, in particular programming languages with effects.

Congratulations to Amalie Brogaard Pauli who has received a PhD fellowship from Danish Data Science Academy (DDSA). Amalie will begin her PhD studies in September with Professor Ira Assent as supervisor, and Leon Derczynski from IT University in Copenhagen as co-supervisor.

Congratulations to PhD student Marius Hogräfer, bachelor student Jakob Burkhardt & associate professor Hans-Jörg Schulz who won the Honorable Mention Award at this year's International EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics for their paper "A Pipeline for Tailored Sampling for Progressive Visual Analytics".

Congratulations to assistant professor Magnus Madsen who received the junior AITO Dahl-Nygaard Prize during ECOOP 2022 in Berlin last week. Magnus received the recognition for his work on Flix – a next-generation reliable, safe, concise, and functional-first programming language.

Vidur heard about Aarhus University from friends and chose to pursue a master’s degree here due to the Department's high ranking and the possibility to choose courses within his interests of data science and machine learning. That combined with a competitive tuition fee, work-life balance and the opportunity to work while studying, made him choose to study in Denmark.

Last week, we sent our scientific and administrative staff away on a two-day retreat. The purpose was to identify new possibilities of collaboration across research groups. However, there was also time for some fun and teambuilding. Day 1, ended with the CS Oscar Awards 🏆🎥 Congratulations to Crypto & Security for ‘Best Scientific Picture’, Algorithms & Complexity for ‘Most views on YouTube,’ and Sebastian Knudsen for ‘Best director’. Haven’t seen the videos yet? Check them out on our YouTube channel.

Congratulations to computer science student Oscar Antonio Borlund Orellana who won the second-place in the Grundfos Awards yesterday 🎉 Oscar won for his software company Nuntio, which by the judges was pointed out as developed on a very high level of ambition. For more info check out nuntio.io/. Grundfos Awards is a celebration of innovative students from Aarhus University who in the past year have received an EarlyCash Grant to test both themselves and their idea.
