Congratulations to Professor Wayne Oldford of the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science on being elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA).

Ian Goulden from the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization has been named Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the University of Waterloo, in recognition of his decades of scholarly excellence, outstanding pedagogy and service to the university that went above and beyond the call.
The 18th IFIP/IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2022) held in Budapest, Hungary explored network and service management in the era of cloudification, softwarization, and artificial intelligence as its main theme.

A researcher in the Department of Pure Mathematics is among the latest winners of a University Research Chair.
Awarded by the Office of the Provost, a University Research Chair recognizes exceptional achievement and pre-eminence in a particular field of knowledge.

Professor Swamy’s research focuses on algorithms for discrete optimization problems, looking especially at uncertainty and classes of problems that are not so well understood.

Sophie Spirkl, an assistant professor in combinatorics and optimization, was named among this year’s winners of the Early Researcher Award.
The Early Researcher Award program, administered through the province of Ontario, assists promising, recently appointed researchers to build their research teams. This year, three faculty members with links to the Faculty of Mathematics were among the winners.
Mackenzie Cameron and Sierra Legare have been named this year’s winners of the Mehta-Jenner Climate Mitigation Graduate Scholarship.
The Mehta-Jenner Climate Mitigation Graduate Scholarship recognizes outstanding research focused on climate change or climate change mitigation by graduate students in the Faculty of Mathematics.
The scholarship was established by Adarsh Mehta (BMath’ 98) and Jeffrey Jenner (BMath’ 84) to support and celebrate graduate students who share their passion for environmental and ecological issues, as they are explored through mathematical fields.

Researchers in the Cheriton School of Computer Science are using unsupervised machine learning to determine taxonomic relationships between organisms.

As schools moved to a mode of emergency response teaching (ERT) at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were distinct differences in the effect it had on students and teachers whether they were in developed or developing countries, a new study shows.

Applications are now open for students in the Faculty of Mathematics to enroll in the Zero program.
