Welcome to the CS Theory Group at UC Santa Cruz!
We are a team of passionate CSE students, researchers, and faculty, working in theoretical computer science, algorithms, data mining, logic,
formal verification, theoretical machine learning, game theory and their intersections. We aim to cultivate a warm and welcoming community for TCS, where all of these research areas can benefit from one another.
If you are in the area and want to give a talk at our Theory seminar (or just stop by to say hi), feel free to contact us at vaggos@ucsc.edu.
