Researchers in the Department of Applied Mathematics are using computer-simulated drug trials to provide clinicians with insights on a promising cancer treatment.
The drug, called metformin, has traditionally been prescribed for diabetes but has been used in clinical settings as a cancer treatment in recent years.
Professor Marek Stastna of the Department of Applied Mathematics begins an appointment as the new Associate Dean, Computing at the Faculty of Mathematics in January 2022.
Professor Hans De Sterck of the Department of Applied Mathematics has been appointed the new Editor-in-Chief of the , starting January 2022.
Chris Bauch is part of a research team using artificial intelligence to analyze sentiment and interaction about contentious topics in social media.
Two graduate students, Rick Perche and Alexey Smirnov, at the Department of Applied Mathematics have been awarded Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS) in the 2022-2023 international competition for the scholarship. This is an exceptional achievement as the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ had a quota of only five such awards across all faculties.
Chris Bauch, an applied mathematics professor and University Research Chair, recently published a paper in theÌýProceedings of the National Academy of SciencesÌý(PNAS) on new research related to a deep learning algorithm capable of detecting and predicting tipping points.
The award recognizes exceptional scholarly achievement and outstanding contributions to a field of knowledge. Some of the most prolific scholars in the Faculty of Mathematics have held Research Chairs, and Morris continues the trend of excellence.
