An artificial intelligence (AI) startup company with strong ties to Waterloo Engineering has cracked a list of the top 50 most important movers and shakers in the industry.
Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have created a powder that could be used to reduce greenhouse gases at factories and power plants that burn fossil fuels.
The advanced carbon powder, developed using a novel process in the lab of chemical engineering professor Zhongwei Chen, could filter and remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from emissions with almost twice the efficiency of conventional materials.
Speaking openly about mental health in the classroom is one of the reasons David Brush was recognized as fall 2018's Waterloo Engineering Society (EngSoc) Friend of the Society award recipient.
The civil and environmental engineering lecturer was the first student-voted winner of the award since it was formally approved this past summer.
A startup company co-founded by Waterloo Engineering professor Michael Pope recently won $25,000 in seed funding in a pitch competition meant to encourage Canadian innovation.
The University of Waterloo’s renowned artificial intelligence (AI) research and academic programs, including plans to train IT professionals and business executives in the field, received a significant boost today with the federal government’s commitment of $230 million to support the supply chain and logistics excellence consortium led by the SCALE AI supercluster.
Mark Hancock was honoured with the 10-Year Impact Award at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces for a paper he co-wrote almost a decade ago as a doctoral student at the University of Calgary.
To help shape the future of blockchain technologies, a funding opportunity is available for master’s and doctoral candidates.
Waterloo Engineering is offering fellowships, valued up to $50,000 for master’s and $120,000 for PhD students to undertake research in the blockchain field.
Most of the funding for the fellowships is provided by Ripple, a San Francisco-based technology company that specializes in digital payments and blockchain.
At least six former Waterloo Engineering students have made prestigious 30 Under 30 lists compiled by Forbes magazine for 2019.
Alex Rodrigues, 23, Brandon Moak, 23, Darren Fung, 28, Greta Cutulenco, 27, Praveen Arichandran, 28, and Ari Paunonen, 29, are among 600 of the “brashest entrepreneurs” in Canada and the United States selected to 30-member lists in 20 categories.
Construction has started on a new $4.5-million research facility for autonomous vehicles near the Engineering 7 building on the east campus of the University of Waterloo.
The Autonomous Vehicle Research and Intelligence Lab (AVRIL) is scheduled for completion by the summer of 2019 with features including 10 vehicle bays.
Costly losses in municipal water systems could be significantly reduced using sensors and new artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
Developed by researchers at Waterloo Engineering in collaboration with industry partners, the smart infrastructure technology has the potential to detect even small leaks in pipes.
