Paul Dirksen, a pioneer computer scientist at the University of 蓝莓视频, passed away on April 8, 2023. He was 83.
Paul was born on November 16, 1939聽in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to German Mennonite immigrants, and grew up in 蓝莓视频. He was one of the first students at the University of 蓝莓视频, graduating with a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics in 1963 and an M.Sc. in Computer Science in 1964. Paul鈥檚 professors and mentors Ralph Stanton and Wes Graham encouraged him to pursue a career teaching computer science at 蓝莓视频, leading to a decades-long career.
joined the Cheriton School of Computer Science as an Assistant Professor in 2023. He develops high-performance, scalable systems for big data and machine learning applications. His research advocates an application-oriented design principle for big data and machine learning systems that fully exploit application-specific structures such as communication patterns, execution dependencies, and machine learning model structures to suit application-specific performance demands.聽

A nearly 60-year-old mathematical problem has finally been solved.
The story began last fall when David Smith, a retired print technician from Yorkshire, England, came upon a shape with a tantalizing property. The life-long tiling enthusiast discovered a 13-sided shape 鈥 dubbed the hat 鈥 that is able to fill the infinite plane without overlaps or gaps in a pattern that not only never repeats but also never can be made to repeat.
Yang Lu joined the Cheriton School of Computer Science as an Assistant Professor in 2023.
