A little bit of history should be made this fall on Colby Drive, an otherwise unremarkable loop of pavement in an industrial area of Waterloo.

After more than a year of painstaking work, it’s where researchers at the University of Waterloo expect to become the first university-based team to test an autonomous car – cleverly nicknamed Autonomoose by students - on any public road in Canada.

Recent research by ECE PhD students Nahid Juma and Jonathan Shahen, Professor Mahesh Tripunitara, and an external collaborator, establishes that work that received a prestigious award from the National Security Agency (NSA) in the US, is deficient at its foundations.

The 2017 recipients of the Waterloo Engineering Faculty and Staff awards for outstanding contributions to education and research will be celebrated by Engineering Dean Pearl Sullivan and colleagues at a dinner to be held in January.

ECE will be well-represented!

The Outstanding Staff Performance Award technical category winner is Fernando Rivero Hernandez in recognition of his professionalism, excellent work ethic and commitment to providing outstanding technical support to Engineering faculty, staff and students.

ECE Professor, Ehab El-Saadany, has been elevated to Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to distributed generation planning, operation and control.

IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation.

MASc student, Shankha Chatterjee, and Professor Wojciech Golab have won the SSS 2017 Best Paper Award for their work "Self-Tuning Eventually-Consistent Data Stores" at the 19th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS). 

SSS is an international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design and development of distributed systems with a focus on systems that are able to provide guarantees on their structure, performance, and/or security in the face of an adverse operational environment.
