Bruno Bauwens, an expert in Kolmogorov complexity, is a new recruit at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science. He started in September 2015. Bruno received his PhD from Ghent University in Belgium, after which he held postdoctoral fellowships at Porto University (Portugal), as well as at the University of Montpellier and University of Lorraine.
An important step in integrating the university into the global educational, scientific and research space is the expansion of international recruiting. Since its very first year, the Faculty of Computer Science at the Higher School of Economics has had a foreign professor working on staff. In 2015, four internationally recruited experts teach and conduct research in the faculty.
On the blog of European multinational software corporation SAP, Siraj Mayen, a student in HSE’s Faculty of Computer Science, discussed what it is like studying in Russia, as well as his research project in the field of e-health. Before moving to Russia, Siraj spent three years working as an IT specialist in Qatar. He was able to successfully apply his knowledge and experience to his work at the Higher School Economics and to his projects with SAP. Siraj is currently a second year master’s student in the System and Software Engineering programme, as well as a participant of the SAP University Alliance.
