Faculty of Mathematics researchers partnering on NRC projects

Researchers linked with the Faculty of Mathematics are partnering on projects supported through the National Research Council (NRC).

NRC-sponsored projects underway at Waterloo are making breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, the internet of things and cybersecurity. The NRC and University of Waterloo collaboration will help position Canada as a global leader in these future-relevant areas.

Faculty of Mathematics-affiliated researchers include:

• Edward Lank, professor and Cheriton Faculty Fellow in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, who is working on a project involving reliable gesture recognition in virtual reality environments.
• Michele Mosca, professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization and co-founder of the Institute for Quantum Computing, who is working on a project involving a secure scalable quantum-safe blockchain for critical infrastructure.
• Daniel Vogel, an associate professor Cheriton Faculty Fellow in the Cheriton School for Computer Science and a member of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab, who is working on a project involving battery-free touch sensors for the internet of things.
