Friendly reminders from an electronic companion may be able to help seniors living with dementia to live a better, more fulfilling life.

Students of mathematics at Waterloo recognized the Cheriton School's Associate Professor Michael Terry as "Instructor of the Year 2012."

Students describe him as an engaging and inspiring professor who has taught first to fourth year courses in computer science.

The second 2012 Derick Wood Graduate Scholarship has been awarded to Vinayak Pathak. Pathak is a PhD student at the School who is studying for his PhD with Prof. Anna Lubiw. He previously earned his MMath degree under the supervision of Prof.

Professor Srinivasan Keshav of the Cheriton School has been named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for his contributions to computer communication networks and systems.

Our latest Black Team (Guru Guruganesh, Deon Nicholas, Geoffry Song) solved 8 of the 9 problems in the Association of Computing Machinery regional programming contest. The team, coached by Cheriton School Associate Professor Ondřej Lhoták advanced to the World Finals to take place in St. Petersburg, Russia, summer 2013.

A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo has built the world's largest simulation of a functioning brain, known as Spaun (Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network). It can help scientists understand how the complex activity of the brain gives rise to the complex behaviour exhibited by animals, including humans.

Using several disciplines across campus including theoretical neuroscience, systems design engineering and computer science, Spaun was brought to life by lead researcher Chris Eliasmith and his affiliates.

The School of Accounting and Finance at the University of Waterloo is the second Canadian university to be recognized by the CFA Institute University Recognition Program.

At Facebook’s College Hackathon, Waterloo beats 17 other teams with its social version of Siri.
