Two CM graduate students, Omar Hayat and Alex Starr, were recognized with Best Speaker Awards at the Fall 2025 CM Research Presentation event for their outstanding research and presentations. 

Congratulations to Omar and Alex on this well-deserved recognition, and to all participating students on their excellent presentations. 

Shujie Liu, a CM research student, presented their Computational Mathematics research paper to their peers and supervisors on December 6th, 2023.

Shujie was awarded the Best Speaker Award for their presentation on their research topic Synthetic Asset Price Paths Generation Using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model.

Congratulations Shujie on a job well done!

The Math faculty hosted the Data + Computation for the 5 Global Futures workshop on September 20^th with the goal of initiating inter-Faculty, interdisciplinary research. With over 40 researchers from the six faculties in attendance, the workshop provided information on the new provost-funded Interdisciplinary Master's Fellowship in Computation and Data (i-Comp-Data) and held presentations from researchers across the university to shed light on current and potential applications of data and computation.

Six Computational Math Masters students currently have projects funded by the i-Comp-Data fellowship program with supervisors from the Math, Engineering, Environment, Science, and Arts faculties, their projects can be viewed on the i-Comp-Data website under Funded Projects.

If you are a faculty member or a student who would like to get involved, you can view the Prospective Supervisors or Prospective Students pages for more information.

Brian Li, a CM research student, presented their Computational Mathematics research paper to their peers and supervisors on August 11^th, 2023.

Brian was awarded the Best Speaker Award for his presentation on his research topic A SAT Solver + Computer Algebra Attack on the Minimum Kochen-Specker Problem.

Congratulations Brian on a job well done!

The Computational Mathematics program and the Faculty of Mathematics value the hard work graduate students put in during their TA assignments. The Computational Mathematics Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award is given, upon nomination by course instructors, to TAs who have done outstanding work in carrying out his or her TA duties.

The recipients of the Winter 2023 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award are Conor Duggan, Shujie Liu, Ali Raisolsadat and Antonina Rudakova.

Congratulations, Conor, Shujie, Ali and Antonina!

The Computational Math program is pleased to offer an Interdisciplinary Master's Fellowship in Computation and Data (i-Comp-Data) to prospective students. Students who are interested in interdisciplinary research projects can benefit from this fellowship as they are provided the opportunity to be co-supervised by supervisors in two different faculties and receive financial support.

Guanting Pan, a CM research student, presented their Computational Mathematics research paper to their peers and supervisors on April 13^th, 2023.

Guanting was awarded the Best Speaker Award for his presentation on his research topic Testing Tool for Deep Neural Network.

Congratulations Guanting on a job well done!

CM Master's student Daniel Winters has won the Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) Canada Graduate Scholarships Master's (CGS M) NSERC grant. This scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrated a high standard of achievement to help develop their research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel. Congratulations, Daniel! 

CM Master's student Vincent Racine has won the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST). This scholarship is awarded based on academic excellence, leadership and research ability and communication skills. Congratulations, Vincent!
