For the last seven decades, astrophysicists have theorized the existence of “kugelblitze,” black holes caused by extremely high concentrations of light.

With the rising cost of housing, aging infrastructure, climate change and disruptive technology at the forefront of urban planning, cities require data-driven tools and expertise to prosper today, and into the future.

Campbell is a professor of applied mathematics, and the associate dean for research in the Faculty of Mathematics.

Congratulations to Professor Emeritus Ian Stewart, who was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Waterloo.

One master’s and two doctoral degrees in Applied Mathematics were awarded at the 2024 Spring Convocation. Congratulations to the graduates!
