University of ݮƵ Faculty of Mathematics students help create a web-based data-gathering platform that has been to its citizens in an effort to flatten the curve of COVID-19 in that city.
The University of ݮƵ appointed Professor Richard Cook a “University Professor” in recognition of his outstanding research contributions in the field of Biostatistics. ݮƵ’s designation of University Professor acknowledges exceptional scholarly achievement and international pre-eminence.
The first director of the University of ݮƵ's computing centre was the late J. Wesley "Wes" Graham. Graham has long been known as the father of computing at ݮƵ, because of persistence in procuring powerful computing equipment and his belief that students should have early access to the equipment.
University of ݮƵ professor Jimmy Lin has spearheaded the creation of a dedicated search engine for those who are engaged in the fight against COVID-19.
The Faculty of Mathematics celebrates the outstanding achievements of Yinan Li and Yilin Chen, the two recipients of the 2020 Huawei Prize for Best Research Paper by a Mathematics Graduate Student. Both students published research papers that advance their field of study with an innovative approach to a complex problem.
Director of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute, received a from , the nation’s professional society dedicated to representing all aspects of computer science and the interests of the discipline to Canadians.
With different countries, and different levels of government grappling with whether or not to publicly release their mathematical models and projections on the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, we asked Professor , an expert in mathematical and computer modelling of infectious disease outbreaks, to explain the basics to us.
The University of ݮƵ has launched a new online tool to help children who are now learning from home continue with their math and computer science education.
The tool, developed by ݮƵ’s Centre for Education and Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), is called and includes games, problems to solve, videos and other materials to help kids with their studies.
Ontario’s Ministry of Education has included CEMC at Home in their virtual resources for parents and caregivers.
Your personality could significantly impact your ability to contribute to open source projects, according to a new study by researchers at the University of ݮƵ.
Open source projects are online spaces where software developers work together to improve computer code that is made available to anyone. Each project is managed by a person whose job it is to accept or reject the offer of help from a software developer.
Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor has had a curious career trajectory.
His academic life began with an undergraduate degree in physics, followed by a master’s in physical oceanography, then a PhD in computer science with specialization in artificial intelligence. He even had a stint working with occupational therapists as part of his postdoctoral studies, where he applied his expertise in AI to develop assistive technologies for people with dementia.
