Professor Emeritus Douglas Robert Stinson has received the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from CS-Can | Info-Can, the national non-profit organization dedicated to representing computer science and the interests of the discipline across Canada.
A specialist in Operator Algebras, he joins the University of Waterloo after seventeen years at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Established in 2002, AAMAS is the world’s leading conference for research in AI, autonomous agents and multiagent systems.
More than 100 researchers and students from across Canada and around the world attended the 53rd annual Canadian Operator Algebras Symposium (COSY), which took place from May 26-30 at the University of Waterloo.
Their paper explored intermittent interaction in digital fabrication, particularly 3D printing.
The Waterloo team analyzed a range of YouTube videos that focused on learning music by ear and identified four simple ways music learning technology can better aid prospective musicians.
The award is given annually to individuals who have made “significant and sustained contributions to mathematics education in Canada.”
Businesses need to not only prepare for quantum attacks, but also ready their organizations to tap into the economic benefit of adopting quantum technologies.
The award recognizes the research team’s paper, Vizing’s Theorem in Near-Linear Time, which introduces a randomized algorithm that computes a (∆ + 1)-edge colouring in near-linear time with high probability, a near-optimal result for this classic problem in graph theory.
Congratulations to Leyi Yan and Hadas Barabash, the winners of the 2025 Jessie W.H. Zou Memorial Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research.
