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.
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.
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.
