Viktor Chondria University is a fictional school in the U.S.A and is the institution Kurisu Makise attended. It is based off of the real life Columbia University located in New York, U.S.A. Alexis Leskinen is a professor in the field of brain science and mentors Maho Hiyajo. Other notable figures involved at the university include Judy Reyes, a professor in the psychophysiology department as well as Liddie Kumar, a mathematician and researcher. Mio Kunosato from Chaos;Child also studied and researched at Viktor Chondria, having spent time working in Kurisu’s lab as well as the Coleman Institute.
Its world-renowned psychophysiology department developed the technology known as Visual Rebuilding back in the 1990s, a technology for sending visual data into the brains of blind people using electromagnetic waves to allow them to see, which is capable of both sending and receiving data from human brains using electromagnetic waves. This technology is not only an important part of Chaos;Head, as the original basis for Project Noah, but it is also used the subject of Kurisu's thesis as well as the basis for Kurisu's Time Leap Machine in Steins;Gate and the Amadeus system in Steins;Gate 0.
The Amadeus system is also developed at Viktor Chondria University, with the research being led by Alexis Leskinen. Rintaro Okabe is also involved as a volunteer to test Viktor Chondria University's Amadeus system, despite not being officially affiliated with the university.
Viktor Chondria University has probably close ties with the Committee of 300 and much of its scientific research is done to help further the Committee's various projects, although only a select few are aware of this fact, such as Mio Kunosato.
