Department of Applied Informatics

Department of Applied Informatics offers bachelor and master study programs Applied Informatics and the international interdisciplinary master program Cognitive Science (MEi:CogSci). DAI also collaborates on bachelor, master and doctoral study programs Computer Science, a bachelor study program Bioinformatics (in cooperation with the Faculty of Natural Sciences), and bachelor and master programs Computer Graphics and Geometry. DAI maintains Robotics Lab, Cognitive Lab for Behavioral Experiments and EEG Measurements, and Future Technologies Lab (for computer vision and virtual reality). The Department also organizes international Spring Conference on Computer Graphics (SCCG), MEi:CogSci conference, and Czech-Slovak conference Cognition and Artificial Life.

Research at DAI focuses on the following areas: computer graphics and computer vision (animation, object recognition), artificial intelligence and computational modeling (knowledge representation, computational logic, artificial neural networks, modeling of cognitive processes, complex dynamical networks, robotics and evolutionary computing, computational biology), and theory of programming (concurrent and distributed systems, declarative programming).
