A trio of recent ݮƵ graduates has tackled a long-standing problem in clinical research with an automated solution that could help scientists analyze blood stem cells faster and more accurately.
Professor Craig Kaplan has received this year’s Faculty of Mathematics Awards for Distinction in Teaching. Up to two awards are conference each year to teachers who have consistently demonstrated outstanding pedagogical skills and a deep commitment to our students’ education.
Ever spent hours browsing through multiple websites because you can’t find the right source for your essay?
Fortunately, a ݮƵ-led research team has created ScholarCopilot, an AI-powered software that can make writing papers faster, smoother, and less stressful.
Users can write or upload on ScholarCopilot’s interface. When they click on the “search citations” button, it will analyze their content and generate a list of academic sources. If the user chooses one of the recommendations, ScholarCopilot will automatically create in-text citations.
Professor Emeritus Douglas Robert Stinson has received the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from CS-Can | Info-Can, the national non-profit organization dedicated to representing computer science and the interests of the discipline across Canada.
