Congratulations to Dr. Jason Bell, professor of pure mathematics, on being named a Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS).

This year, 3 exceptional students have been selected as Math valedictorians, each representing the innovation, resilience and community spirit that define Waterloo.

The award, which recognizes outstanding research contributions within the Faculty of Mathematics, is presented annually to one or two early or mid-career faculty members.

Professor of computer science Gilles Brassard, at the Université de Montréal, is one of the pioneers of quantum information science. On June 17, as part of this spring’s convocation proceedings, the Faculty of Mathematics will award him a Doctor of Mathematics, honoris causa.

The award, created by Dr. Ming Li and his family in honor of his late wife Jessie Wenhui Zou, recognizes and supports outstanding research at the undergraduate level.

Established in 2005 by the University of Waterloo, this prestigious recognition honours faculty members who demonstrate excellence broadly.
