The Max Planck Institute for Informatics is devoted to cutting-edge research in computer science with a focus on algorithms and their applications in a broad sense. The research ranges from foundations (algorithms and complexity, programming logics) to a variety of application domains (computer graphics, geometric computation, constraint solving, computational biology).

The institute consists of five research units:

  • Algorithms and Complexity Group is headed by Prof. Dr. Kurt Mehlhorn, and the
  • Programming Logics Group is headed by Prof. Dr. Harald Ganzinger
  • Computational Biology and Applied Algorithmics is headed by Prof. Dr. Thomas Lengauer, Ph.D.
  • Computer Graphics is headed by Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Seidel
  • Databases and Information Systems Group is headed by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Weikum

Since January 2002 three independent research groups have been established:

  • Static Analysis Group headed by Dr. Bruno Blanchet
  • Discrete Optimization Group headed by Dr. Friedrich Eisenbrand
  • Graphics - Optics - Vision Group, headed by Dr. Marcus Magnor
