We are delighted to announce that André Greiner-Petter has successfully defended his PhD thesis titled ‘‘Making Presentation Math Computable’’ this January, 2022. Congratulations, André! In his thesis, André researched and developed a context-sensitive approach for translating mathematical expressions from LATEX to the syntax of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS). In doing so, he made three primary contributions to the Math Information [...]
Our PhD candidate, Dennis Trautwein, has been awarded a two-year PhD Fellowship from Protocol Labs featuring an $80,000 stipend and an annual travel allowance of $3,000. Designed to support early-stage researchers, the fellowship aligns with Protocol Labs' research interests. Dennis Trautwein’s proposed research specifically aims to enhance content discovery and retrieval within the IPFS network.
