Martin Nöllenburg: promotion to tenured Associate Professor

After his successful tenure evaluation, our colleague Martin Nöllenburg has been promoted to an Associate Professor.

Martin has joined the Algorithms and Complexity group at TU Wien in September 2015.
His research interests include graph algorithms, in particular for graph drawing and network visualization, computational geometry, in particular algorithms for cartography and geovisualization, as well as algorithm engineering and combinatorial optimization.

Congratulations!

Algorithms and Complexity Group at the Science Picnic

The Vienna March for Science on April 22, 2017, started with a Science Picnic. The Algorithms and Complexity Group performed a science demonstration with a human sorting network.

This demonstration introduced the participants to ideas of computational thinking. Volunteers from the public — adults and children — were invited  to sort numbers (and other items) by progressing through the sorting network and in doing so, getting an understanding of fundamental principles used in computers.
