The Faculty of Computer Science of the University of Vienna has world-leading researchers in Computer Science who pursue basic as well as applied research. DoCS builds an essential framework to foster excellence in research and teaching.

Modern computing systems are arguably among the most complex things ever produced at a large scale by humans. They have been tremendously disruptive to our lives and will very likely be even more disruptive in the future. Computer Science as a discipline has a strong engineering component that enables the large majority of those disruptive innovations. At a full university of high rank as the University of Vienna, Computer Science is a visible lighthouse of innovation that can help society, business, as well as other scientific disciplines to actively shape the digital transformation we face today.

The Faculty of Computer Science of the University of Vienna has world-leading researchers in Computer Science who pursue basic as well as applied research. The UniVie Doctoral School Computer Science (DoCS) builds an essential framework to foster excellence in research and teaching. Its main focus is young prospective researchers eager to make an impact on both basic research as well as applied problems with collaborations across the University and beyond. We aim to provide these young researchers with the broad knowledge and expertise needed to perform Computer Science research at the highest achievable quality. The Doctoral School trains them in solving basic as well as applied research questions of high relevance. It helps them gain the ability to present their results at top level venues according to international scientific standards.

Qualification profile and skills.

The main goal of the Doctor of Philosophy Programme Computer Sciences is to make an independent contribution to research through submission of an original piece of scientific work on the highest international level in one of the fields of competence offered at the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics. This work is to widen the boundaries of knowledge in the relevant special field and thus to contribute to the progress in the dissertation subject.

This goal is to be achieved by completion of the compulsory modules in the curriculum, where particularly the module „Scientific Basics/Core Skills of the Thesis Topic“ offers the requirements to research-oriented subject matter. The modules „Analysis of Own and External Research Results“ and „Core Subject“ convey the current state of research. An addition to these skills (e.g. project management, professional presentation of scientific contents) guarantees the module „Generic Skills”. Graduates of the Doctor of Philosophy Programme have a systematic understanding of their research discipline and research methods of this field.

The programme concludes with a dissertation which is to be supervised by a team of supervisors and is completed by an oral exam taken before an examination board. Graduates are awarded the academic degree „Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)“.

Expected Learning Outcomes for the Doctorate

Graduates are qualified junior academics. They have mastered the methods applied in research in their area and are capable of critically discussing, analyzing, and further developing theories. Junior academics possess the competence to develop and conduct substantial research projects with scientific integrity, and they are qualified to reflect on these processes scientifically and theoretically. They are also aware of issues and questions in gender research.

Future Prospects: Occupational Profiles and Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Doctor of Philosophy Programme Computer Sciences are able to independently solve complex scientific problems of fundamental resarch and applied research on an international level. They hold leading positions in reserach, industry and the tertiary education sector. Graduates are able, after a short introductory period, to take over managerial functions in all companies and institutions of the development and realization of innovative and complex hardware, software or network systems.

Published April 2, 2024

In place of the retired annual Graduate Poster Competition, 15 graduate students from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences gathered on March 8 to compete in the first Lightning Talk Competition. Contestants each presented a two-minute oral presentation accompanied with a singular PowerPoint slide aimed toward communicating their research effectively to a trio of judges.

The grand prize for the best pitch was the honor of presenting again at the UB Celebration of Student Academic Excellence, as well as gift cards for the top three placements. 

The organization behind the Lightning Talk Competition was headed by Caitlin Hoekstra, director of Career Development and Experiential Learning in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. She identified the benefits of switching from posters to pitches; by condensing months of research into two minutes, it showed employers that these students were not only technically capable but could also articulate their work. The event gave students a chance to practice their communication skills and served as a way to bring together the SEAS community. 

“It’s an outlet to hear what others are doing in different disciplines,” Hoekstra says. “These talks spur people to think creatively and share what normally would be foreign, technical information in an accessible format.”

Pitch topics varied, ranging from aerospace parts to algorithmic coding solutions. Despite the subject matter, most contestants faced the same challenge– deciding what to include within the talking time and slide restrictions. 

“Fitting everything into two minutes was a big challenge. [Even when] I excluded the nitty gritty details, I still couldn't finish within the time limit,” says third place finisher and civil engineering PhD student Vidhi Rasik Solanki. 

Despite the challenge, Solanki successfully outlined alternative electrical infrastructure configurations for earthquake simulation testing. The design of the pitch competition pushed her outside her boundaries, and she capitalized on that opportunity. 

“This is my fifth, or nearly sixth, year in my PhD career. Yet, I was nervous because this was one of the first competitions I participated in, [but] I loved it,” says Solanki.

Second place finisher and computer science student Grant Iraci emphasized the practical implications of his research. The presentation explored tracking rates within written software to improve coding for sensors. 

“It’s challenging once you’ve been in the technical reeds for so long, but this is how you become a professional researcher,” Iraci says. 

Iraci’s work centered around improving technology for other computer scientists to use. By utilizing tracking rates in embedded systems, his research helps detect inconsistencies in written software. 

“The driving factor for me was really stressing that we can use tools, theory and math to support the people writing the software and make their job easier,” says Iraci.

While some students engaged in a learning experience, others took the competition as an opportunity to sharpen their existing skills. Environmental and water resources engineering student Md. Arafat Ali took home first place in the Lightning Talk Competition pitching a material to filter carcinogens from water supplies. He was also a finalist last year for UB’s Three Minute Thesis Competition, a similar competition that he attributes his success to. 

Ali took a different approach when it came to his singular PowerPoint slide– rather than trying to fit detailed graphs and diagrams, his presentation consisted of rudimentary clip art collage. His concise pitch and simple graphics made the complex topic of separating the chemical bonds of polyfloral alcohol substances understandable.

“I wanted to express my idea without using chemical jargon or technical wording for people who don’t have this background,” says Ali. 

UB is actively monitoring developments related to COVID-19 . Please check with event organizers for the most up-to-date information about scheduled events.

Vanderbilt has begun work to establish a transformative college dedicated to computer science, AI, data science and related fields, university leaders announced today. In addition to meeting the growing demand for degrees in technological fields and advancing research in rapidly evolving, computing-related disciplines, the new, interdisciplinary college will collaborate with all of Vanderbilt’s schools and colleges to advance breakthrough discoveries and strengthen computing education through a “computing for all” approach.

The College of Connected Computing will be led by a new dean, who will report to Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs C. Cybele Raver and to School of Engineering Dean Krishnendu “Krish” Roy. The search for the college’s dean is scheduled to begin in late August, and recruiting of faculty will begin in the coming months. It will be the first new college at Vanderbilt since the university and the Blair School of Music merged in 1981.

“Of all the factors shaping society, few are more influential than the rapid emergence of advanced computing, AI and data science,” Chancellor Daniel Diermeier said. “To continue to carry out our mission, prepare all our students for their careers and advance research across the university, Vanderbilt must contribute even more to the study, understanding and innovative application of these fast-changing disciplines. Our aim is to make Vanderbilt a global leader in these fields, ensuring our continued academic excellence and capacity for world-changing innovation.”

“Our new college will enable us to build upon our strong programs and catapult Vanderbilt to the forefront of breakthrough discovery and innovation—in key areas of computer science and also in a wide range of other disciplines that capitalize on advanced computational methods. In launching this new college, we will provide students with highest-caliber educational opportunities at the intersection of these pathbreaking fields,” Raver said. “The creation of this college represents a tremendous win and will be transformative for our entire university community.”

Raver noted the ways that Vanderbilt is forging a bold and distinct strategic path to address burgeoning research and educational opportunities, including increasing demand for expertise in computing-related fields. Moreover, she said, the global interest in AI “aligns perfectly” with Vanderbilt’s leading work in that field. She said a dedicated college will enable Vanderbilt to keep making groundbreaking discoveries at the intersections of computing and other disciplines and will more effectively leverage advanced computing to address some of society’s most pressing challenges.

“The establishment of this interdisciplinary, ‘cross-cutting’ college is a watershed moment—not only for the School of Engineering, but also for the entire university,” Roy said. “The future of education, research and thinking in all disciplines is now inherently tied to, and will be greatly influenced by, the knowledge and power of computing. The idea of ‘computing for all’ is fundamental to the future of learning.”  

Many of the specific details about the college—including its departments, degree programs and research infrastructure—will be informed by the recommendations of a task force on connected computing composed of faculty from across the university. In addition, Vice Provost for Research and Innovation Padma Raghavan will launch a Computing Catalyst working group that will engage faculty and staff leaders in computing from across campus and solicit their input on strategically expanding the university’s computing resources. “The decision to establish this new college is rooted in conversations with faculty,” Raver said. “We are continuing that faculty engagement with this working group, and we’re fortunate to have the advice of some of the best minds in these fields as we embark on this exciting journey.”
