Scientific Advisory Board

The Institute’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) provides broad-based external advice and guidance to the Institute leadership team on a wide range of programmatic issues. The SAB is composed of 16–20 members with a broad scientific vision, expert knowledge of theoretical computer science, and a record of scientific leadership. The SAB meets twice a year, typically in January and July or August.
