Bill Cook (PhD 1983, Combinatorics and Optimization) was awarded a Faculty of Mathematics Alumni Achievement Medal for fundamental contributions to combinatorial optimization and, in particular, the travelling salesman problem.

Scott Vanstone was named a 2011 fellow of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) for his work on the deployment of elliptic curve cryptography, sustained educational leadership in applied cryptology, and service to the IACR.

Congratulations to Andrew Childs, ERA winner, part of the $12 million in research support from the Ontario Research Fund announced at University of Waterloo.

Congratulations to the recipients of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's (NSERC) prestigious Julie Payette Research Scholarship. Of the seven UWaterloo receipients, four of the five math faculty recipients have ties to C&O:

Congratulations to Combinatorics and Optimization Professors Jim Geelen, Penny Haxell, Alfred Menezes and Levent Tunçel, recipients of the University of Waterloo's Outstanding Performance Fund Award established in 2003 to reward faculty members for outstanding contribution in teaching and scholarship.

For his tremendous contributions to science in Canada, Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Deputy Director Michele Mosca has been named among Canada's Top 40 Under 40.

Congratulations to C&O undergrads Steve Karp and Malcolm Sharpe, members of the University of Waterloo's Putnam Team which ranked fifth in the December 2010 competition

Algebraic combinatorics - algebra or combinatorics?

Abstract

This talk will feature a number of examples that illustrate what algebraic combinatorics means to the speaker. Throughout, the interplay between algebraic and combinatorial methods is emphasized.

'Math nerd' now at the faculty's helm

Ian Goulden, the dean of mathematics, was inducted last week as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada — a reminder that he’s a scholar and researcher as well as, since he took the dean’s job last July 1, one of the University of Waterloo’s senior administrators.

Fall 2010 convocation – MBET, Engineering, Environment, Mathematics, and Science

Ron Graham is one of the world's leading discrete mathematicians. He has made important contributions to number theory, graph theory, combinatorial optimization and extremal combinatorics, among other areas. In several instances, his contributions have initiated or revolutionized a research area.
