Research

IST Austria is a cross-disciplinary research institution that combines basic science research with graduate education. Our scientists perform theoretical and experimental research in Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Information and System Sciences. They are organized in small to medium-size research groups that interact with each other across the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Each research group of IST Austria is headed by a tenured or tenure-track professor. Below you can find a list of all our professors leading laboratories at IST Austria.
