A University of Guelph computer science student is turning classroom learning into meaningful impact, contributing to software that supports environmental and food analysis while building the skills to shape the future of technology.
The University of Guelph once again welcomed more than 1,000 high school students from 33 schools across Southern Ontario for its annual BattleSTEM competition, a full-day event celebrating science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). With over 1,017 attendees this year, the event brought a vibrant sense of energy, creativity and collaboration to campus.
Two incoming masters students in the College of Computational, Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Guelph have been awarded the prestigious 2026-27 Vector Scholarships in Artificial Intelligence by the Vector Institute.
Students are turning ideas into real-world technology solutions through GDG (Google Developer Groups) Hacks 2026, a 24-hour hackathon held May 9-10 at the University of Guelph.
Researchers found that primitive droplets made from DNA, RNA and peptides could support early RNA copying.
Dr. Jacek Lipkowski, professor emeritus in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Guelph, was honoured by the University of Warsaw with the renewal of his honorary doctorate. The distinction recognizes exceptional scientific achievement and longstanding contributions to academia.
The theme for Earth Day 2026 focuses on promoting renewable and clean energy. Reducing reliance on fossil fuels remains a global priority, and progress is being driven by research that improves how energy is produced, stored and used.
At the University of Guelph, faculty are contributing to that shift through work that supports cleaner, more practical energy systems.
In healthcare, AI-powered imaging systems assist with detecting abnormalities in radiology scans, segmenting organs, and tracking disease progression. In manufacturing, automated visual inspection systems can identify microscopic defects and ensure quality control at speeds that are beyond human capabilities.
