A team of applied mathematicians at the University of Waterloo have developed a new method that uses artificial intelligence to foresee the most likely mutations of pathogens like SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Researchers in applied mathematics are developing a program that could be added to the COVID alert app used on smartphones to better target vaccination campaigns. Instead of targeting specific geographies or demographic groups, the researchers propose a strategy based on individual contacts.

Chris Bauch, an applied mathematics professor and University Research Chair, recently published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on new research related to a deep learning algorithm capable of detecting and predicting tipping points.

The Faculty of Mathematics has named Kirsten Morris as one of its Research Chairs for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The award recognizes exceptional scholarly achievement and outstanding contributions to a field of knowledge. Some of the most prolific scholars in the Faculty of Mathematics have held Research Chairs, and Morris continues the trend of excellence.

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) recently awarded Anita Layton with one of its 2021 fellowships.

Researchers in applied mathematics are part of a team developing technologies that use acoustic waves to target and destroy cancerous tumours.

Researchers in applied mathematics have made new discoveries on the hydrology of the Yucatan Peninsula. The research has implications for historical understandings of the Maya civilization, the archaeology of the Yucatan and for present-day climate science as well.

The Faculty of Mathematics Research Office recently announced its 2021 recipients of the Golden Jubilee Research Excellence Award. Eduardo Martin-Martinez, an associate professor in applied mathematics, was one of this year’s winners.

The Department of Applied Mathematics is pleased to welcome David Del Rey Fernández as an assistant professor.

Quantum Benchmark, a Kitchener-based company providing software solutions for error suppression and performance validation in quantum computing hardware, was acquired by Keysight Technologies in May 2021. Quantum Benchmark was founded by Applied Mathematics professor Joseph Emerson.
