A team of business students from Waterloo Engineering has taken a top prize in an international competition meant to promote and accelerate breakthrough technologies.
A researcher at Waterloo Engineering is developing a matching system that could significantly boost the number of people who carpool by taking compatibility into consideration.
Bissan Ghaddar, a management sciences professor, worked on a study with colleagues at IBM and two Italian universities to go beyond matching people to share rides based on geographic locations and time schedules alone.
Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have developed a new conceptual method for measuring extremely tiny objects, potentially paving the way for super-sensitive sensors capable of powering themselves.
Hassan Askari and Ehsan Asadi, both mechanical engineering PhD candidates, showed that nanoscale devices using electromagnetism could determine the mass of objects a hundred billion times lighter than a strand of hair.
The company behind a smartphone app for healthcare professionals has announced plans for a powerful new machine-learning feature after months of collaboration with Waterloo Engineering professor Alexander Wong.
Joshua Landy, co-founder of Figure 1, told the recent International Congress on Electrocardiology that it will provide free, high-quality electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis on its popular social network for doctors.
Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are working with Ciena to find solutions to help network operators and service providers respond to the insatiable demand for faster and faster data transmission over the Internet.
A doctoral candidate at Waterloo Engineering is ahead of the pack as he works on ways to unravel how powerful artificial intelligence (AI) computer programs make their decisions in fields including medical diagnosis and autonomous vehicles.
Two Waterloo Engineering faculty members and three alumni are new fellows of the prestigious Canadian Academy of Engineering.
A study by a Waterloo Engineering researcher suggests that saving yourself first before trying to save others is the best strategy for overall survival rates in life-and-death disasters involving groups of people.
A system developed by Waterloo Engineering researchers could help organizations with service vehicles save money and reduce emissions by putting waste energy to good use.
“Given that most companies or governments cannot afford to transition their entire fleets over to cleaner vehicles all at once, this system could represent a cost-effective way to make current vehicles more fuel efficient in the short term,” said Amir Khajepour, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering.
Waterloo Engineering professor Alexander Wong is cited in an online U.S. magazine story about a company planning to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) into a social network for doctors.
Wong, a systems design engineering professor and Canada Research Chair in medical imaging systems, is collaborating with Figure 1 of Toronto on work involving electrocaridiograms and machine-learning software.
