The Waterloo International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) team is always looking for smart and passionate people to share our love for synthetic biology, applied math, and engineering, and now we're recruiting new members for the 2015 team!
The iGEM 2015 Open House is an information session where interested students can come find out about the Waterloo iGEM team. We'll talk about what we've done, what we're excited for in the upcoming year, how you can get involved, and what we're looking for in new team members.
Join the UWaterloo Alumni Calgary Chapter (UWAC) and current Waterloo co-op students working in Calgary for an evening of drinks, great food and even better conversation. Learn about upcoming events being hosted by UWAC, hear updates from campus and offer feedback about future alumni activities in Calgary.
Second, third and fourth-year undergraduate students are invited to come out and learn more about graduate studies in Faculty of Mathematics.
There will be an overview of Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Mathematics including a brief description from:
Talk with departmental representatives and ask important questions.
Earlier today, the Waterloo Black team (Tyson Andre, Benoit Maurin, Anton Raichuk) finished first in the University of Chicago Invitational Programming Contest. The contest brought together all 22 Canadian and U.S. teams that have qualified for the World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest to be held May 14 to 18 in Warsaw, Poland. Waterloo solved nine problems, beating runners-up Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton. Alberta finished eighth, UBC 10th and Toronto 13th.

His funded project title: "Increasing the applicability of mixed-integer programming".
Congratulations to the Waterloo Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) team - students Tyson Andre, Benoit Maurin, and Anton Raichuk with coach Professor Ondrej Lhotak - on their bronze medal at the 2012 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals!

The competition was held in Warsaw, Poland.
Matthew Kennedy (Pure Mathematics (PM), PhD, 2011) has won the 2012 Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) Doctoral Prize. He will give a talk, and receive the award, in December at the CMS meeting in Montreal.
His PhD thesis supervisor was Professor Ken Davidson.
Congratulations to Stephen New and Levent Tuncel, winners of the 2012 Faculty of Mathematics Award for Distinction in Teaching!
