Part of being a PhD student is about confronting significant issues in a field of study. For Shenghao Yang, a second-year PhD student at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, it鈥檚 not just about tackling issues in his field, but also one of the biggest problems facing the world 鈥 COVID-19.

Most students develop an interest in technology and programming long before they begin their post-secondary education.
The path to becoming a developer, analyst or software engineer does not usually start in a computer science course at university, but in the opportunities available to students outside the classroom. One such opportunity is聽Hack the North 鈥 the annual hackathon sponsored by the Faculties聽of Mathematics and Engineering 鈥 taking place this weekend from Friday, September 17 to Sunday, September聽19.
The Cheriton School of Computer Science welcomes Saptarshi Bhattacherya,聽Alicia Bremer, Andrew Dong, Heidi Hon, Kushal Mujral聽and Eric Pei 鈥 six outstanding first-year students who have distinguished themselves academically as recipients of the prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarship.聽

It鈥檚 no secret that our everyday technologies gather personal data. But these increasingly entrenched conveniences, from Internet of Things鈥揺nabled smart TVs to online voting systems to crowdfunding platforms, can also perform harmful surveillance.
Knowing how tools track user behaviour and collect personal information is important. Understanding their implications for social inequality within Canada and globally is perhaps even more pressing. What鈥檚 more, the challenge demands multiple areas of expertise.
Scarcely a year goes by without smartphone, tablet and computer manufacturers releasing yet another new model. And this never-ending stream of improved digital products means that older devices are often disposed of, whether relegated to a junk drawer or traded-in, recycled, sold or donated to others. But when you dispose of a device, are you certain you鈥檝e securely deleted all of your personal data?
