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.
