Partial list of contact points for aspiring graduate students (and post-docs) in Computer Science/Engineering from US-banned countries.
Note: we would like to move the list of PhD/post-doc opps in CS created in the aftermath of the muslim ban to something more organized/permanent and on a better infrastructure (e.g., github). Any volunteers willing to run/maintain it? (If so, please let us know via email).
Below, organised by country, and then by name, please find a list of academics who are willing to act as a contact point to discuss opportunities in PhD and Masters programmes in Computer Science/Engineering. They may also be willing to discuss postdoc opportunities.
@academics: please provide brief details - area, country, name, institution, contact e-mail, areas of interest, any funding details to kenny.paterson@rhul.ac.uk or me@emilianodc.com and we will add them to the list (we’ve switched off public editing of the document now to protect existing entries).
@aspiring students: please do not spam contacts: use the information to start your research into alternatives to grad school and masters programmes in the US, and then to start conversations with selected contacts.

Note: We do not have any open funded staff positions or scholarships at this time (new funding may become available in 2018, and we will update this note if it does). Johannes Kepler University Linz is open to PhD students, but at the moment students would have to be self-funded. Such self-funding would need to cover 3-5 years of tuition (depending on the student’s nationality and other conditions, see http://www.jku.at/content/e262/e256786/e233509/e249123?showlang=eng) and living expenses in Linz, Austria (price levels are comparable to other major central European cities).

Systems Security Research Lab @ Information Security Group (ISG)
Royal Holloway University of London, UK
The Systems Security Research Lab (http://s2lab.isg.rhul.ac.uk) focuses on devising novel techniques to protect systems from a broad range of threats, including those perpetrated by malicious software. The underlying theme of research builds on program analysis and machine learning to address such threats. We regularly host visiting scholars and interns and we currently have two PostDoc openings for two years (MobSec Project, http://s2lab.isg.rhul.ac.uk/projects/mobsec/) and one opening for a PhD student starting in Sep/Oct---positions to be officially opened soon; feel free drop me a line for further information. In addition, full funding (stipend and fees) for at least one strong international PhD student per year (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/isg/cybersecuritycdt/home.aspx). The ISG at Royal Holloway also offers a well-established and renown MSc in Information Security and welcome students from all over the globe.
