    New shape makes TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 list

    Earlier this year, Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Craig S. Kaplan and his international colleagues David Smith, Joseph Myers and Chaim Goodman-Strauss discovered a single shape that tiles the plane — an infinite, two-dimensional surface — in a pattern that can never be made to repeat. Now, that shape has been chosen by TIME magazine as one of the best inventions

    The vampire einstein

    Just months ago, an international team of four that includes Cheriton School of Computer Science professor Dr. Craig Kaplan discovered a single shape that tiles the plane — an infinite, two-dimensional surface — in a pattern that can never be made to repeat. The discovery mesmerized mathematicians, tiling enthusiasts and the public alike. The shape, a 13-sided polygon they

    A trick of the hat

    A nearly 60-year-old mathematical problem has finally been solved. The story began last fall when David Smith, a retired print technician from Yorkshire, England, came upon a shape with a tantalizing property. The life-long tiling enthusiast discovered a 13-sided shape — dubbed the hat — that is able to fill the infinite plane without overlaps or gaps in a pattern that not

    Personalizing cancer treatment through machine learning

    Researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science have applied machine learning to identify tumour-specific antigens, which could help make personalized cancer vaccines practically feasible and more accurate. In cancer, when a mutation occurs in a cell’s DNA, a substitution takes place. This substitution is flagged as an invader by our immune system and is referred to as

    Lost and found

    Every month, some 23,000 Android devices are stolen or lost, with more than two-thirds never being recovered. Even with Google’s Find my Device or Apple’s Find my iPhone, users are subjected to gaps in retrieval solutions, whether it’s from a dead battery or a thief has put the device on airplane mode. But not anymore. For Jiayi Chen, a PhD candidate in the Cheriton School of

    Reflect on the reality of the African-Canadian experience, says prof.

    While Canadians celebrate Black History Month, it’s important to reflect on the historic reality of the African-Canadian experience, says Jim Walker, a University of Waterloo history professor. Walker points out that during the First World War, Canada had a segregated black labour unit — the Nova Scotia 2 Construction Battalion. It’s also important to recall that black
