Researchers from the Cheriton School of Computer Science are working on new systems that increase the correctness and reliability of health-related searches.
Researchers in applied mathematics are part of a team developing technologies that use acoustic waves to target and destroy cancerous tumours.
While doctors have used low-intensity ultrasound as a medical imaging tool since the 1950s, experts at the University of Waterloo are using and extending models that help capture how high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can work on a cellular level.
Cecilia Cotton from the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences and Martin Pei from the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization have been named winners of this year’s Awards for Distinction in Teaching from the Faculty of Mathematics.
Researchers in applied mathematics have made new discoveries on the hydrology of the Yucatan Peninsula. The research has implications for historical understandings of the Maya civilization, the archaeology of the Yucatan and for present-day climate science as well.
A regional team linked with the University of Waterloo was named among the winners of the global Technovation Girls app development competition.
But for the second-year PhD student in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, the research is fully grounded and relevant. Van Dyk’s research finds practical application for one of the largest companies in the world, Amazon.
