University of Waterloo Professor Keith Hipel will be named an Officer of the Order of Canada on Thursday September 6 at Rideau Hall, a rank recognizing national service or achievement. Hipel is has been named for his national leadership in systems design engineering.
In this study, researchers determined that machine learning can address current human-centric network activities, which tend to be costly, error-prone and slow to adapt to changes. Those challenges, they found, could be overcome by giving network administrators the ability to automate network management
New research out of the University of Waterloo has found a way to improve the voice query understanding capabilities of home entertainment platforms.
The research, in collaboration with the University of Maryland and Comcast Applied AI Research Lab, uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to achieve the most natural speech-based interactions with TVs to date.
Unless unions are involved, foreign multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in Canada are less likely than their domestic counterparts to comply with employment law.
In the most significant study of its kind, researchers from the University of Waterloo found that MNCs from nearly every country complied better with Canadian labour laws if their operations in Canada were unionized.
A self-powered sensor developed at the University of Waterloo could allow doctors to remotely monitor the recovery of surgical patients.
The small, tube-like device is designed to be fitted to braces after joint surgery to wirelessly send information to computers, smartphones or smartwatches to track range of motion and other indicators of improvement.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have successfully resolved two of the most challenging issues surrounding lithium-oxygen batteries, and in the process created a working battery with near 100 per cent coulombic efficiency.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have reached an important milestone by logging their 100thkilometre on public roads in a self-driving car deemed the "autonomoose."
Achieved last week in an industrial area of Waterloo, it is the culmination of almost two years of work since the research team won approval from the Ontario government to do on-road testing in an autonomous vehicle pilot program.
Mathematics can help public health workers better understand and influence human behaviours that lead to the spread of infectious disease, according to a study from the University of Waterloo.
This mathematical approach to disease modelling could allow scientists to better prevent undesirable outcomes, such as more dangerous mutant strains from evolving and spreading
New research out of the University of Waterloo has found a novel method to extend the battery life of smartphones for up to an hour each day. The researchers have developed an app which smartphone users can use to reduce the energy consumption of their devices without any significant impact on performanc
Ten researchers from the University of Waterloo received more than $15.6 million from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to fund two networks and eight projects that will further research efforts through academic and industry collaborations.
