Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Stacey Watson, and their colleagues Manisha Kamarushi, Garreth Tigwell, and Roshan Peiris at Rochester Institute of Technology, have received best paper award at MobileHCI 2022.
Mathematics Statistics alumni Joy Jiang (PhD ‘18) has been named as one of the inaugural 40 Under 40 Public Health Catalyst Award recipients. The Boston Congress of Public Health recognized these 40 individuals as representatives of the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, activists, intellectual provocateurs, authors, and directors who inspire and catalyze a more just and equitable world.
Any computer scientist 70 or more years of age today knows almost every other computer scientist of those same ages, as few were in the discipline during its fledgling days. One such individual from that era is Daniel Berry, a professor in the Software Engineering group at the Cheriton School of Computer Science.
Esteban Veintimilla (BMath ’18) founded an education tech company called 1Mentor, which recently received recognition as a top 100 tech company to watch for in 2022.
A former postdoctoral researcher at the Cheriton School of Computer Science is leading the charge in artificial intelligence in the entertainment and film industry with her company, Kroop AI.
When Hurricane Dorian battered the Bahamas in the Fall of 2019, Waterloo-based satellite imagery startup SkyWatch was quick to assist the reeling nation.
The company gave relief agencies emergency access to its vast satellite image datasets. This enabled these organizations to survey the damage in real-time and coordinate their response accordingly.
Climate change is making wild weather increasingly common—and raising the stakes for weather forecasters.
Erik Demaine (PhD ’02) and a team of researchers, including his father, have published a proof on a geometric problem involving infinite folds.
Demaine is currently a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who had a storied academic career at Waterloo. He was admitted to graduate studies at the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the age of 14.
