ACiD, Algorithms and Complexity in Durham, is a world-leading research group with research programmes involving many international collaborators. Theoretical Computer Science comprises the development of algorithmic techniques that efficiently exploit the power of modern computers, the study of the limits of computation and the ways in which we can cope with, and take advantage of, intractability, and the science of the unsolvable.
The group is broad-based with research foci including computational complexity, proof complexity, descriptive complexity, graph theory, exact algorithms, randomised algorithms, approximation algorithms, parameterized algorithms, finite model theory, constraint satisfaction, interconnection networks, universal algebra and mathematical logic.

Algebraic Methods for Quantified Constraints
This project has just commenced with Barnaby Martin as PI. It is funded by EPSRC Grant EP/X03190X/1 and concerns the computational complexity of Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problems (QCSPs). Kristina Asimi will join Durham as a postdoc on the project from the 1st February. She has recently completed her PhD at Charles University in Prague. Catarina…
