Dear colleagues, dear friends of the CSI talk series!
Today, I am happy to share with you the lineup we have for the "Computer Science Insights" (CSI) talks at HSG St. Gallen for the upcoming Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 terms.
Our goal remains the same: to provide a platform for cutting-edge discussions and insights from all field within computer science.
Without further ado, here is the list of speakers.
