Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’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, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ 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.

Fairblock, a company co-founded by Cheriton School of Computer Science master’s graduate Peyman Momeni, has secured $2.5 million to build infrastructure to bring conditional encryption and pre-execution privacy to blockchains.Ìý

The recent funding round was led by Galileo Ventures and supported by a consortium of investment firms that include Lemniscap, Dialectic, Robot Ventures, GSR, Chorus One, Dorahacks, and Reverie, as well as several angel investors.

Earlier this year, Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Craig S. Kaplan and his international colleagues David Smith, Joseph Myers and Chaim Goodman-Strauss discovered a single shape, which they called the hat, that tiles the plane — an infinite, two-dimensional surface — in a pattern that can never be made to repeat.Ìý

Glycoproteins are a diverse class of molecules in which one or more sugar molecules — what are known as glycans — are attached to protein molecules. More than half of all proteins in human cells are thought to be glycoproteins.

For David Khazzam, one of the great joys of university was getting to do a little bit of everything.

David is this year’s recipient of the Faculty of Mathematics K. D. Fryer Gold Medal, an honour given to a student who exemplifies academic excellence, good citizenship, and involvement in extracurricular activities. He graduates this Friday with a Bachelor of Computer Science degree.

The Cheriton School of Computer Science has been nationally for the fourth year in a row, according to the released yesterday. Based on program reputation in computer science, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ shared the podium for first place with the University of Toronto, and based on research reputation, shared the podium for first with the University of Toronto and UBC.

On Friday, October 6, the Cheriton School of Computer Science held the 2023 Cheriton Research Symposium, an annual showcase of research excellence made possible by David R. Cheriton’s generous investment in education.
