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.
Diana Skrzydlo is one of four recipients of this year’s Distinguished Teacher Award from the Centre for Teaching Excellence. Skrzydlo is the Director of the MActSc program, a Continuing Lecturer for the department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, and the Math Teaching Fellow.
On April 17 and 18, students, faculty, and members of the community gathered to take part in the inaugural Research Discovery Days, a research showcase and networking event hosted by the Math Innovation Office. The event, which featured both faculty and graduate student research presentations as well as discussions about entrepreneurship, aimed to connect industry partners with researchers doing exciting work in the Faculty of Mathematics.
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced close to $51 million in funding today for projects that will strengthen Canada’s quantum research and innovation capacity in alignment with the National Quantum Strategy.
CS professor Craig S. Kaplan has helped prove the existence of an einstein (from the German for "one stone") - a 13-sided shape dubbed "the hat" that can tile a plane infinitely without ever repeating.
On Friday, March 31, the University of Waterloo Faculty of Mathematics proudly unveiled two spaces in the new Math Advancement Hub: the Ronald C. Mullin Boardroom, named in honour of the University’s first alum and a former professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, and the Pat Cunningham Corner, named in honour of the Faculty of Mathematics first alumni officer.
Mathematician Alfré Rényi famously said that “a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.” Waterloo biostatistics professor Michael Wallace, however, is a machine for turning coffee into prizes.
Researchers in biology and medicine have collected an unprecedented amount of data from a variety of sources. My research builds upon the benefits of extracting information from such big data sources by building a so-called automatic hypothesis-generation machine, where the input is the big data people have collected
It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a true visionary and leader, Ronald (Ron) Garth Dunkley, long time faculty member in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, the founding director of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), and the co-creator of the Canadian Mathematics Competition.
