Waterloo Engineering's Critical Machine Learning (ML) Lab is developing AI systems that are safer, more efficient and more equitable — with active applications in health care, aviation and climate action.

Dr. Sirisha Rambhatla, a professor in the Department of Management Science and Engineering, leads the lab's research. Her team works at the level of ML theory to predict and engineer it — so users can make safer, fairer decisions at lower computing costs and with less waste.

The Department of Management Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering are mourning the loss of a longtime colleague and scholar.
