Umair Shah, a lecturer in the Department of Management Sciences has adopted an innovative approach to bridge the ‘industry-academe’ divide by piloting the use of the Riipen platform at the University of Waterloo.
In new research by Management Sciences professor Lukasz Golab, it was found that engineering applicants sell themselves differently based on their gender. Males often described how their technical skills and experience matched the profession. In contrast, female applicants want a career that enables them to impact and improve society. These findings could help universities better market themselves to attract more female engineering applicants.
A new study co-authored by Management Sciences Professor Lukasz Golab found that coupling bikeshare with public transit could help increase light rail transit (LRT) ridership.

Fourth year management engineering students Stefanno Da Silva, Shivam Sharma, Tara Tsang, and Julie Yu placed third at the 2018 Ontario Engineering Competition (OEC) in the Innovative Design category. This year OEC was held at the University of Ottawa from January 26 - 28. Their project is to develop a group trip planning application and is supervised by Professor Stan Dimitrov.
Cynthia Waltho, a PhD candidate in Management Sciences, was recently featured in a video highlighting what it's like to be a graduate student at the University of Waterloo.
In creating a new partnership (“syndicate”), what division of uncertain future profit should the parties select? We consider partnerships with no substantial initial investment and no moral hazard. Parties may differ in risk attitudes and beliefs. The common approach is bargaining. We take a different approach: One party proposes to the other a contract, similarly to the principal-agent approach.
Developing trust with my clients and co-workers has been central to my career success since completing my MASc degree. I claim that automating my analytics contributed a surprising amount to developing trust in my work by making it repeatable, audit-able and alterable. In this talk, I’ll speak about those three features of automated analytics and their link to trust in the context of project examples, both successes and failures.
Take advantage of this on-campus opportunity to learn, network and foster research partnerships with technology innovators, leading researchers, government experts and entrepreneurs. Panel presentations will explore the implications of disruptive emerging technologies within the existing energy distribution network and the role of adaptive new policies and regulations. Delve into alternative approaches to financing small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) and consider what determines success or failure in a new business model.
Screening for diseases is an important, and extensively used, public health tool; early detection can improve clinical outcomes and/or reduce the spread of infectious diseases, especially for diseases that have slow to develop and/or initially non-specific symptoms (e.g., AIDS, Zika, hepatitis). A major challenge in public health screening is to design screening policies that are capable of accurately classifying subjects in a large population with limited resources and imperfect tests.
