Catherine Dong is a mathematics student at the University of Waterloo and was a member of the Secretariat from 2019 to 2022. She gave the following speech at the Mathematics 4 Groundbreaking event.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have found a way to reduce the energy use of some data centres by as much as 30 per cent.
Donors, alumni, faculty, staff and students gathered on October 28 to celebrate the official groundbreaking for Mathematics 4 (M4), the new Faculty of Mathematics building that begins construction this fall.
M4 will provide our students with dynamic classrooms, lounges and event spaces that will allow them to explore, create and collaborate on a whole new level. It will equip researchers and students with powerful computational tools and state-of-the-art lab spaces that will accelerate their world-changing research–particularly in fields like data science and AI. And it will unite our whole math community, forging new connections at the intersection of disciplines and bridging academia, industry and government to achieve global impact.
