Reserchers in applied mathematics have developed models to better understand what happens to a woman’s kidneys during pregnancy.

The research team includes Anita Layton, professor of applied mathematics and Canada 150 Research Chair in mathematical biology and medicine, and Melissa Stada, a master’s researcher in applied mathematics.

The Faculty of Mathematics welcomes the 2022 Waterloo.AI and Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) joint workshop on “Artificial Intelligence for Science & Engineering.”

The three-day virtual workshop runs from January 18 to 20 and features several researchers affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics.

Researchers from the Department of Applied Mathematics are part of a team using artificial intelligence to analyze sentiment and interaction about contentious topics in social media.

Two researchers in the Cheriton School of Computer Science are part of a research team that was recently awarded $24 million CAD by Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund as part of the BIOSCAN project, which aims to catalogue biodiversity.

Professors Lila Kari and M. Tamer Özsu are bringing their expertise in biodiversity informatics and data science to the research team.

Computer science undergraduate students (l-r) Nicholas Vadivelu, Kelvin Jiang, Sourav Biswas, and Vikram Subramanian were named in the annual CRA awards program.

Pivot-RP is a new searchable database of research funding opportunities for Waterloo researchers, purchased and supported by the Office of Research and launched in August 2021.  

A few years ago, one of Trisha Kothari’s sisters asked their aging grandmother a thought-provoking question: “If you were reborn into our generation, what would you do with your life?”

Their grandmother, Barji, who had grown up in India at a time when women had few rights and even fewer opportunities, wasted no time answering.

“Oh, I’d definitely not get married. I would study and start a business,” she told her.

In October, two students linked to the Faculty of Mathematics participated in a unique autonomous racecar event at the famed Indianapolis Speedway, in which their hopes were dashed when their car crashed.

A team of computer scientists has developed a new system that recognizes near-keyboard hand gestures to expand laptop interaction.

The new technology is an innovation in the field of human-computer interaction and allows users to give commands that would otherwise involve keyboard shortcuts or mouse round-trips.

Richard Xie, an undergraduate student in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, has created an artificial intelligence that has helped people buy and sell more than $100 million of real estate.
