Mathematical models can help figure out class sizes and configurations to minimize disruptions and school closures.
James Petrie places a high premium on intellectual freedom. After graduating with a degree in Engineering Physics from the University of British Columbia (UBC), he accepted a position as a firmware engineer for a leading multinational technology company. “A few months in, I realized I was missing the opportunity to view problems through a wider lens and pursue the things that interested me most,” he remembers.

Quantum computers will now have help tackling the central problem in their performance – noise.
Joel Wallman, a researcher at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and assistant professor of applied mathematics at the University of ݮƵ, has developed a protocol that will help deal with the issue of noise in quantum computers so that they can tackle more complex problems.
As many kids get ready to go back to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study indicates ways to minimize outbreaks and their impact on in-person instruction.
Kirsten Morris has been awarded theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) Control Systems Society Distinguished Member Award in 2020.
Men who have sex with men (GbMSM) and who get tested at least once annually on average could help prevent a rise in bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), according to a new study.
The Ontario government contributed $148,000 for Chris ܳ’s research project, “How to Re-open Ontario's Economy Without Causing a Resurgence of COVID-19”. Bauch and his team will combine data from various sources to create a mathematical model of COVID-19 transmission to identify strategies to re-open the province without causing a second wave and--if necessary--how to re-close schools and workplaces in the face of a second wave while minimizing economic impacts.
We are sad to share the news that Peter Ponzo passed away peacefully on July 5, 2020 after a battle with bone cancer.
Congratulations to the researchers in the Department of Applied Mathematics who have been awarded a 2019 Outstanding Performance Award announced byVice-President, Academic and Provost Jim Rush.
