Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

DTU Compute

DTU Compute is an internationally unique academic environment spanning the scientific disciplines of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and engineering. We offer education ranging from the bachelor's level to PhDs and support continuing education, all rooted in these scientific disciplines. We also collaborate with other universities, external organisations, and companies in both Denmark and abroad.

About

Research at DTU Compute

DTU Compute consists of ten pure research sections, each with its own focus, all engaging in cross-disciplinary research. These sections conduct research at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Additionally, two sections focus on research-based innovation and collaboration with external partners, businesses, and organisations. Research also occurs at several separate research centres affiliated with one or more sections.

Section

Algorithms, Logic and Graphs

The AlgoLoG section comprises leading researchers dedicated to research in the fields of Theoretical Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics — from AI and machine learning to algorithms.

Section

Cognitive Systems

CogSys researches how humans and machines interact, and how advanced data analysis can impact our quality of life — from the internet that reads minds to hearing aids that listen to our voices.

Section

Cybersecurity Engineering

This section focuses on the methods, processes, and tools for the design, development, and analysis of secure computing systems accessible through a network like the Internet — also known as cyberspace.

Section

Dynamical Systems

DynSys performs research within mathematics of dynamical systems – from energy systems to aerodynamics – encompassing modelling, forecasting, optimization, and control in both deterministic and stochastic systems.

Section

Embedded Systems Engineering

This section conducts research across the vast spectrum of computing infrastructure, from mobile phones to cloud computing, all aimed at addressing societal challenges and driving societal progress.

Section

Mathematics

This section carries out fundamental mathematics research. We establish the mathematical knowledge base for emerging new areas in the technical sciences and explore new applications of pure mathematics.

Section

Scientific Computing

SC conducts research that bridges applications, mathematical modelling, theory, and the associated numerical algorithms — the science of using computers and mathematics to solve problems in science and engineering.

Section

Software Systems Engineering

Software is an essential component of digitalisation, and its role is increasingly prominent. Our digital society requires software that is reliable, built on scientific and engineering principles, and aligned with societal values and expectations.

Section

Statistics and Data Analysis

This section focuses on statistics, quantitative genomics, bioinformatics, pattern recognition, and software development. We are committed to supporting other departments at DTU and external partners in these areas.

Section

Visual Computing

VisComp conducts research in image analysis and computer graphics, covering areas such as medical image analysis, geometry and appearance modelling, computer vision, and the analysis of 3D microstructures.

Research & collaboration

Innovation

Our Innovation section assists companies and organisations in their development through collaborations with DTU Compute. It is one of two sections dedicated to research-based, cross-disciplinary innovation collaboration.

Research & collaboration

Tech4Civ

Tech4Civ also engages in research-based collaborations with external companies. It aligns with DTU's overarching mission to develop and create value for society through the application of technical and natural sciences.

Research Centres

Some of the research at DTU Compute is conducted at centres affiliated with the department. These centres often involve collaboration with external partners, including other universities, organisations, and businesses both within Denmark and internationally. Our research centres are often based on one of our research sections, but they also engage in cross-disciplinary research.
