��ݮ��Ƶ researchers are renowned for their work that improves societies, economies, technologies and health for humanity. But, like many scholars, they have also experienced aggressive responses to their research.

In an effort to address this hostility, the Faculty of Arts in collaboration with the Office of Research hosted a recent panel discussion as part of their “Antagonism and Intimidation in Academia” series.��

In a rapidly evolving world where artificial intelligence is reshaping not only entire industries but the world itself, students need to be prepared to harness this technology to solve pressing issues. With this goal in mind, and ��ݮ��Ƶ.AI sponsored a student-led hackathon that focused on Retrieval Augmented Generation — also known as RAG — at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ’s IDEAs clinic.

The emergence of 5G technology is transforming telecommunications, granting people and industry remarkable capabilities. With research advancements, in the future we could see 5G offer speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second, far surpassing 4G’s capabilities. This speed not only enables lightning-fast downloads, its low latency, as low as 1 millisecond, is ideal for real-time applications like remote surgery and augmented or virtual reality.��

Computer scientists at the Cheriton School of Computer Science are using a graph-based deep learning model to analyze proteins on the surface of cells, which could lead to personalized medicine to treat cancer and infectious diseases.  

The researchers developed GraphNovo, a new program that provides a more accurate understanding of cellular peptide sequences, linear chains of amino acids.

Immunotherapy is a powerful new way to treat cancer, harnessing the body’s natural defences to find and kill cancer cells.

By applying machine learning, researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science are working to strengthen this mechanism, making it possible to develop personalized cancer-fighting drugs.

Catherine He is a master of the keyboard.

She is not only a computer science student in her third year, but also an who began playing the piano at the age of 4 — an award winner of many regional, national and international piano competitions, among them orchestra@uwaterloo’s 2023 Concerto and Aria Competition, a contest open to ��ݮ��Ƶ students and recent grads every other year.

Professor Renée J. Miller has been named the . She is currently a University Distinguished Professor at Khoury College of Computer Science at Northeastern University. She will be joining the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ in June 2024 as the Cheriton School of Computer Science’s first Canada Excellence Research Chair.

Four ��ݮ��Ƶ teams, each with a triad of exceptional algorithmic programmers, took the first, third, fourth and 20th place spots at the recent held at the University of Windsor.

��ݮ��Ƶ Black, consisting of Max Jiang (3A CS), Wen Yuen Pang (4A CS) and Kevin Wan (4A CS and C&O) finished first, solving 10 out of .��

Researchers at ��ݮ��Ƶ’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute have received funding from the National Cybersecurity Consortium (NCC) under the Cyber Security Innovation Network program. This funding marks a significant milestone for CPI, ��ݮ��Ƶ and the NCC, reinforcing a commitment to advance Canada’s cybersecurity ecosystem.

Twenty eligible projects were awarded a combined total of $11.2 million across three categories — commercialization, research and development, and training.

Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Jo Atlee has been named by the , a recognition conferred for her foundational research in software engineering and her advocacy for women in computer science.
