Congratulations to our undergraduate students Christina Ji (BME 1B ) and Eric Woolven (SYDE 4B) on their contributions to the success of the UW Warrior Swim Team successes at the OUA Championships. 

Christina JI

Christina Ji (BME 1B ) was named an Athlete of the Week for her outstanding medal performances in the pool (1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze). 

Use of technology in the world of sports is improving at a rapid rate. New types of data, coupled with advanced engineering tools, allow for more in-depth analysis of the human body as it pertains to specific movements and tasks. As a result, motions can be refined and equipment improved to help athletes maximize their abilities and performance. John McPhee, a professor of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo (UW), has overseen several studies on the motor function of Paralympic athletes.

Alexander Wong, a Canada Research Chair in the field of Artificial Intelligence and an associate professor in the Department of Systems Deign Engineering, is interviewed in The O'Reilly Data Show on his research on designing a human-in-the-loop platform for building deep neural networks with efficient network architectures[Read more].

Miroslaw Romanowski Lecture

Earlier this year Systems Design Engineering faculty member Keith Hipel was awarded the Miroslaw Romanowski Medal for significant contributions to the resolution of scientific aspects of environmental problems or for important improvements to the quality of an ecosystem in all aspects — terrestrial, atmospheric and aqueous — brought about by scientific means.

On November 29, 2:30-3:30pm, Professor Hipel will deliver the Miroslaw Romanowski Lecture at the University of Waterloo: "Negotiations over Groundwater Contamination." in DC-1302.
