Electrical and computer engineering master's student, Xiaomeng Lei, and Professor Mahesh Tripunitara have won a 'Best Paper' award at the 2023 ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT) for their work "The Hardness of Learning Access Control Policies." This paper identifies the computational hardness of several machine learning problems in an aspect of information security.

We recently received the very sad news that our former colleague, Dr. Andrei Sazonov, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.

Andrei was an electrical and computer engineering associate professor for over 12 years at Waterloo (2006 – 2018) and was well-known for his nanotechnology and thin film materials expertise. Andrei had a passion for sports – especially tennis – and loved to play in local games or tournaments when he could.

Sriram Ganapathi Subramanian, a recent grad of electrical and computer engineering's PhD program, was selected as the winner of the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Association's (CAIAC) Best Doctoral Dissertation Award. This award recognizes an outstanding PhD thesis completed at a Canadian university in the field of artificial intelligence. Sriram will give an acceptance talk on his thesis research at the CAIAC 2023 conference this year in Montreal.

Electrical and computer engineering master’s student, Serene Abu-Sardanah, has been awarded a prestigious 2023 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society C. J. Reddy Travel Grant to further her research and present her paper entitled “A Wearable mmWave Radar System for Continuous Cardiopulmonary Monitoring” at the annual IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation.
