Sherman ShenProfessor Sherman Shen and his former ECE PhD students, Professors Rongxing Lu, Xiaohui Liang, Hao Luan, and Xiaodong Lin have won the 2017 IEEE Best Land Transportation Paper Award for their work "Pseudonym Changing at Social Spots: An Effective Strategy for Location Privacy in VANETs."  This award recognizes the best paper in relation to Land Transportation p

Dr. Hamed Majedi and former PhD student and postdoctoral fellow, Milad Khoshengar have published their paper "A solid state source of photon triplets based on quantum dot molecules" in Nature Communications.  This groundbreaking work is the result of a three-year collaboration between Dr. Majedi's research group and NRC Innsbruck and Bordeaux. The team has set a world record of producing photon triplet by any means.

Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have developed computer software to detect when drivers are dangerously distracted by texting or other physical activities while they are behind the wheel.

Combining cameras and artificial intelligence, the system could be used to improve safety by alerting drivers to pay attention or trigger even more decisive action as advanced self-driving features are added to vehicles.
