University of Waterloo Dept. of Applied Mathematics researchers are discussing how their work helps to build tools used to tackle a broad range of problems that affect us all.
On November 23, the family of the late Applied Mathematics Distinguished Professor Emeritus Josef Paldus unveiled a memorial tree and bench outside the Mathematics 3 building to commemorate the life and contributions of Professor Paldus, who passed away on January 15, 2023. Professor Paldus joined the then-new Department of Applied Mathematics in 1968, became a full professor in both the Applied Mathematics and Chemistry departments in 1975, and retired in 2001 but remained active as a distinguished professor emeritus until his death.
Anita Layton, a professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Canada 150 Research Chair of Mathematical Biology and Medicine, has received the 2023 Federation of Chinese Canadian Professionals (Ontario) Education Foundation Award of Merit.
Graeme Smith, a professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), has been named as one of the Fellows of the American Physical Society for 2023 in recognition of his “fundamental contributions on quantum channel capacities including proving continuity, elucidating the phenomenon of superactivation, and for providing a classification of all the additive entropic formulas.”

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
