The new method, called cycle benchmarking, allows researchers to assess the potential of scalability and to compare one quantum platform against another.
Costly water losses in municipal water systems could be significantly reduced using sensors and new artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
Developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo in collaboration with industry partners, the technology has the potential to detect even small leaks in pipes.It combines sophisticated signal processing techniques and AI software to identify telltale signs of leaks carried via sound in water pipes.
Hi everyone, my name is Navdeep and I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a BSc in Health Studies in June 2018. I knew I was interested in helping people achieve optimal healthcare services following my own experiences with our healthcare system at a young age.
Waterloo Engineering’s Strategic Plan 2020-2025 was launched this month to ensure the Faculty is recognized as the epicentre of innovation and entrepreneurship for Canada and the world.
The Faculty’s third formal strategic plan is intended to direct Waterloo Engineering activities for the next five years.
More than 350 people were on hand in November for a celebration of timely support and impressive success at the 2019 Waterloo Engineering Awards Dinner.
In addition to hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students recognized for excellence in their academic and extracurricular endeavors, additional funding was announced for four student startup companies through the Engineer of the Future Fund.
Managing reservoirs for water quality, not just flood control, could be part of the solution to the growth of toxic algal blooms in the Great Lakes, especially Lake Erie, every summer.
In a major study involving data from Canada and the United States, researchers at the University of Waterloo identified reservoirs on streams and rivers as sources of food for algae at the worst possible time.
Researchers have designed multiplayer games occupants of autonomous vehicles can play with other players in nearby self-driving cars.
A new study, led by researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Mathematics in collaboration with Waterloo’s Games Institute, details three games created for level three and higher semi-autonomous vehicles. The researchers also made suggestions for many exciting types of in-car games for future exploration.
A new distribution system designed by researchers at the University of Waterloo would reduce electricity prices by more than five per cent while also improving service reliability.
The design involves the integration of the two kinds of electric current that power homes, industries and electric vehicles - alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
NERv Technology, which is based out of the Velocity Garage in downtown Kitchener, won the Entrepreneurship World Cup (EWC) following a startup boot camp and several rounds of competition in Riyadh.
Launched by alumni Youssef Helwa (BASc ’15, nanotechnology engineering, MASc ’17, electrical engineering) and Amr Abdelgawad (BASc ’16, nanotechnology engineering, MBET ’17), the company is developing a device to proactively detect leakage of gastrointestinal fluid into the abdominal cavity after surgery.
The researchers further determined that the failure of companies within the emission-intensive sector to take carbon reduction actions could start negatively impacting the general stock market in as little as 10 years’ time.
