DoCS Doctoral Students
The UniVie Doctoral School Computer Science (DoCS) provides the student with various benefits: amazing supervisors and expertise, networking events, useful experiences, funding for conferences and international mobility, research seminars, retreats, and more.
The DoCS consists of nearly 90 doctoral students enrolled in one of the four research clusters: Algorithms and Computing, Data and Knowledge, Human-Computer Interaction and Education, and Models and Systems. We proudly present our students according to their research clusters, with the names of their working titles, supervisors, as well as the links to their u:cris accounts. The students also have two Student Representatives that advocate for their rights, aims and aspirations.
