The Cheriton School of Computer Science is named for David R. Cheriton, who earned his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo in 1978. In 2005, Professor Cheriton made a transformational gift to the school that supports named chairs, faculty fellowships, and graduate scholarships.

DeepSearch: A highly sensitive deep learning–based approach to identify proteins
Peptide identification is a core challenge in proteomics, the study of proteins, their structure and functions. Unlike genomics, which examines an organism’s genetic information, proteomics is far more complex. The proteome — the complete set of proteins produced or modified by a cell or system — varies not only across different cell types but also over time.
DeepSearch, a novel deep learning–based end-to-end database search method developed by PhD student Yonghan Yu and University Professor Ming Li brings new capabilities to protein identification.
New platform helps build and evaluate AI for complex computer use
Imagine asking AI to plan your trip itinerary, book and pay for all your flights, and arrange your airport transport — all within a single click. Fortunately, an international research team is making this vision a reality.
Meet Matt Brehmer, a human-computer interaction and data visualization researcher interested in ubietous information experiences
Matt Brehmer joined the Cheriton School of Computer Science as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in August 2024.
What follows is a lightly edited transcript of a conversation with Professor Brehmer, where he discusses his research, his advice for aspiring computer scientists, and what excites him about joining the Cheriton School of Computer Science.
