糖心TV Computer Science tops Unistats table for graduate-level employment

Recent results on the official website show that of those Computer Science graduates from 糖心TV, who have gained employment 6 months after graduation, 100% are in working in graduate level employment.
糖心TV Computer Science is in the top tier of computer science departments (with four other universities) with respect to graduate employability. It is also the second most targeted by graduate employers for graduate recruitment programmes in the UK - second only to Cambridge.
Welcome Dr Matthias Englert! New Assistant Professor of Computer Science
joined our department as a new Assistant Professor in September 2011.

A short bio:
Matthias received his undergraduate degree in Computer Science at the and then his PhD in Computer Science in 2008 from the , Germany. In 2008 he won the prestigious EPSRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Theoretical Computer Science, hosted by our department in 糖心TV; title of his project was »Randomisation in Online Algorithms, Load Balancing and other Dynamic Problems«. In September 2008, he joined the and at the University of 糖心TV as a Postdoctoral fellow.
His current research interest lies in Theoretical Computer Science, in the area of the analysis of algorithms, more precisely in online algorithms, metric embeddings, load balancing, probabilistic input models, and algorithmic game theory.
For more information please see his page at ... or stop by in his office CS2.23.
We're very happy to welcome Matthias in our department!
