They were recognized for their paper, Finding Their Data Voice: Practices and Challenges of Dashboard Users.
Congratulations to Jerry Wang, professor of Pure Mathematics, who recently won the John Coates Best Paper Award for Number Theory at the 2024 International Consortium of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM).
The paper, “Variational benchmarks for quantum many-body problems,” was published in Science in October 2024.
This concept is the focus of new research which explores using gait gestures – intentional variations in how you walk – as controls for augmented reality (AR) devices.
For every Waterloo student who spends a term at a foreign institution, a student from that institution spends the same term here.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo added DNA to several species of bacteria found in wastewater, allowing them to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common plastic found in carpet, clothing and containers for food and beverages.
Four Waterloo alumni shared their experience transitioning from co-op students to developers, engineers and mentors at Shopify.
Freda Shi joined the Cheriton School of Computer Science as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in July 2024. In September 2024 she was named a CIFAR AI Chair and a faculty member at the Vector Institute.
It was another exciting year for the Faculty of Mathematics!
