Stephanie Whitney's (BASc ’04, MEB ’13, PhD ’19) Waterloo experience has been a marathon, not a sprint.
On May 12, the Waterloo Women’s Impact Network (WWIN) is celebrating International Women in Mathematics Day with round-table discussions and a presentation by Hilary Bergsieker, associate pro
From April 28-30, the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science hosted the American Statistical Association (ASA) DataFest: an international challenge in which teams of undergraduates work to “find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set.”
“A big part of math is looking for patterns and that helps with curling,” explains April. “On any given day, you have to analyze the angles and take into account what the ice is doing or what impact sweeping is having.”
As a defenseman for the Soo Thunderbirds, Colorado College Tigers and Waterloo Warriors hockey teams, David Radke often felt that his contribution wasn’t completely captured by the sport’s offensively-biased statistics–goals, assists, and shots on net.
Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Dan Berry and his former PhD student Sri Fatimah Tjong have received the most influential paper award at REFSQ 2023. Also known as the 29th International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality, the annual meeting took place this year from April 17–20 in Barcelona, Spain.
Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Gautam Kamath has been named a Canada CIFAR AI Chair and a Vector Institute Faculty Member in recognition of his contributions to differential privacy, machine learning and statistics.
Paul Dirksen, a pioneer computer scientist at the University of Waterloo, passed away on April 8, 2023. He was 83. Paul was a vital part of UW computing history. He was one of the developers of the WATFOR and WATFIV compilers for the IBM 360 mainframe system in the late 1960s. While a previous team had developed an earlier WATFOR for the IBM 7040, the 360 became the foundation architecture for several generations of IBM mainframes.
I work on systems and networking in general. At a high level, my research focuses on developing high-performance and scalable distributed systems for big data and machine learning applications.
