Matjaž Krnc

Matjaž Krnc received his doctorate in network analysis in 2015 at the University of Ljubljana, under the mentorship of dr. Riste Škrekovski. Part of his doctoral studies was completed at the University of Warwick (UK), and a year after his doctorate he was employed by the University of Salzburg as a post-doctoral researcher. Since 2018 he is employed at UP FAMNIT. He actively participated in several research projects with researchers from foreign institutions (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Croatia, Japan, Germany, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Great Britain, USA). Matjaž's research is rooted in the field of structural and algorithmic graph theory and includes also some analytical approaches to graph theory.

Branko Kavšek

Branko Kavšek is an assistant professor in the field of computer science  a member of the Department of Information Sciences and Technologies at UP FAMNIT and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Jožef Stefan Institute. He conducts research in the fields of machine learning, data mining and artificial intelligence. At UP FAMNIT, he teaches the courses Introduction to Machine Learning and Data Mining and Theory of Formal Languages​​and Computability in the undergraduate study programme of computer science, and the course Intelligent Systems in the master's study programme.
He learned how to solve the Rubik's cube back in 1985, in the 4th grade of elementary school, but last year he became fascinated with this best-selling toy again when he entered the world of speedcubing.
