Theory Group

Starting 2017 I've been running the CE TheoryGroup meetings.
The main scope is Cryptography, Coding, and Algorithms, but we are always happy to learn about other tangential topics.

2020-2021

The seminar this year is run by Dr. Manuj Mukherjee (mukherm@biu.ac.il). See the new Seminar's webpage.
