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.
The Brumbaugh Award recognizes the paper judged to have made the largest single contribution to the development of industrial applications of quality control.
In addition to two students who opted to remain anonymous, the awardees include Sarvesh Ingale, Ramprakash Raja, and Shukun Zhang.
She is one of three students receiving this honour at Spring Convocation.
PhD candidate Niloy Saha, Research Professor Noura Limam, Postdoctoral Researcher Yang Xiao, and University Professor Raouf Boutaba have received the Best Paper Award at NOMS 2026, the 39th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium, held May 18–22 in Rome, Italy.
