Professor Sepehr Assadi and his international collaborators — Soheil Behnezhad, Sayan Bhattacharya, MartÃn Costa, Shay Solomon and Tianyi Zhang — have received a Best Paper Award at STOC 2025, the 57th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing.
Launched by the Computing Research Association in 2023, the UR2PhD program is designed to broaden access to undergraduate research experiences and inspire students to pursue graduate studies.
Among its institutional partners is the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, where Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Edith Law coordinates the program locally.
Peptide identification is a core challenge in proteomics, the study of proteins, their structure and functions. Unlike genomics, which examines an organism’s genetic information, proteomics is far more complex. The proteome — the complete set of proteins produced or modified by a cell or system — varies not only across different cell types but also over time.
DeepSearch, a novel deep learning–based end-to-end database search method developed by PhD student Yonghan Yu and University Professor Ming Li brings new capabilities to protein identification.
Vasisht Duddu is one of 24 recipients internationally and one of two from Canada to receive a 2024 IBM PhD Fellowship. Established in 1951, these competitive graduate fellowships recognize and support outstanding PhD students around the world.
A team of leading cryptography, security, and privacy researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science has been awarded $1.6 million through the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s Innovation Fund and the Ontario Research Fund.
The project, UPSCOPE: Understanding Privacy, Security, and Cryptography in Online and Physical Environments, aims to develop the algorithms, techniques, tools, and systems to protect our security and privacy in an increasingly interconnected online and physical world.
Interop Labs, the initial developer of the Axelar Web3 interoperability network, announced today a US$1,000,000 donation to grow the Computer Research Endowment at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.
This generous contribution will support the creation of an AI and blockchain research laboratory at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, the largest and top-ranked academic computer science research centre in Canada. The laboratory will be named the GENESIS Lab, standing for Generative AI for Secure, Interconnected Systems.
The Math Teach-Off was back again last Friday, this time with a focus on computer science.
On January 31, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., three computer science professors — Dave Tompkins, Troy Vasiga and Carmen Bruni — competed to see who could most improve a group of students’ understanding of an unfamiliar concept in only one hour.

Researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science have developed a small modification to the Linux kernel that could reduce energy consumption in data centres by as much as 30 per cent. The update has the potential to cut the environmental impact of data centres significantly, as computing accounts for as much as 5 per cent of the world’s daily energy use.
Kate Larson, Professor at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, has been named a 2025 Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.
