Understanding Users to Optimise 3D Experiences

Silvia Rossi, is a postdoctoral researcher in the Distributed and Interactive Systems (DIS) group at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). “With immersive media, you are the director, the viewer is the one that is deciding where to put the focus. This interaction is what makes this technology very fascinating, but at the same time makes it challenging.” Read the full story

Speeding Up DNA Analysis With String Algorithms

Addressing some of the biggest challenges in medical science relies on processing huge amounts of data. Second year PhD student at CWI, Hilde Verbeek and her colleagues, are creating algorithms that can more efficiently sift through this data, meaning critical analysis can be performed faster than ever.

Bringing Quantum Computers Closer to Reality

One of Stacey Jeffery's more ambitious goals is to have her algorithms run on actual quantum computers. “If I have a big breakthrough and discover that with a really small amount of memory we can actually solve important problems, then it’s more likely that the algorithms will run in the next few years. But it also depends a lot on how the actual quantum computers progress,” she says. Read the full story .

CWI researcher Lisa Kohl: “Cryptography is the perfect way to combine my passion for mathematics with my desire to contribute to a bigger purpose and do something useful. There are many questions that are yet to be solved, and it’s a very exciting research area.” Read the full story .
