About

RAVEN is a research group focused on algorithms — both their theoretical foundations and their applications to real-world problems — based at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.

We aim to blend rigorous theory with high-quality open-source software for processing and indexing massive datasets. Feel free to explore our Publications and Projects pages to learn more about what we do.

Main research areas include:

• Compressed data structures and data compression
• String algorithms
• Randomized and graph algorithms
• Algorithm engineering

For general inquiries, collaborations, or information about our research, please contact us at raven-laboratory@unive.it.
