Biography

Mika Göös is a researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), primarily focusing on the theory of computation and computational complexity. His teaching includes courses such as Computational Complexity (CS-524), where he advances students' knowledge about the computational resources required to solve problems and the relationships between different types of computation. Additionally, he teaches the Theory of Computation (CS-251), a course that provides a solid, mathematically precise understanding of basic theoretical models of computing, including finite automata and Turing machines. This coursework lays the groundwork for understanding fundamental capabilities and limitations within the field. With a background in both practice and theory, he mentors PhD students at EPFL and plays a significant role in guiding their research towards addressing fundamental open questions in computational theory.
