Chair for Foundations of Computer Science was founded on August 1st, 2010 and is one of the youngest chairs at the Faculty of Sciences. Members of the Chair are active researchers that teach not only in Novi Sad, but also at universities in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the countries in the ex-Yugoslavia region.
Members
- Dr. Dragan Mašulović, full professor
- Dr. Miloš Stojaković, full professor (Chair)
- Dr. Maja Pech, associate professor
- Dr. Mirjana Mikalački, associate professor
- Dr. Marko Savić, assitant professor
- Bojana Pantić, teaching and research assistant
Research interests
Members of the Chair are organised in two active research groups. One group is interested mainly in the Ramsey property of classes of finite structures, homogeneity and countable categoricity of countable structures, and the applications thereof in other areas of mathematics such as model theory. The other group is mainly interested in positional games played on graphs and other discrete structures, and the applications of these results in computer science, as well as developing new efficient algorithms on discrete geometric structures.
Members of the Chair actively collaborate with colleagues from Hungary, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Austria and Switzerland through various grants.
