Each year, our Graduate students achieve new academic heights by receiving some of the most prestigious Provincial Scholarships. At the same time, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) celebrates the outstanding achievements of their students with awards and scholarships that recognize their academic accomplishments, engagement, leadership, innovation, and drive to give back to the community.

As much as it is easier for humans to describe the content of photographs, summarize a video and recognize a face, the more complex it is for computers to do the same. Dr Neil Bruce who is an associate professor in the School of Computer Science is exploring the research on Computer Vision. This research is expected to lead to technologies that transform our lives, including technologies from self-driving cars to the diagnosis of diseases.

Computer Science Graduate Student Marshall Asch’s research on data storage and mobile ad hoc networks have produced results that have long-lasting implications. In today’s world, the internet has become an integral part of our everyday lives. Although, such an important part of today’s world, it is shocking to realize that some people might not have access to fast and reliable internet.

With the ongoing pandemic taking a toll on our routine, everyone at one point has asked this question- how to make the COVID-19 testing more efficient and faster?

The research study that was led by Dr Theresa Bernardo and Dr Dan Gillis monitored news sources, journals, social media, and various other sources to deconstruct the research collaboration around the world. The study revealed that the research collaborations varied from scientific articles, data dashboards, data sharing agreements, hackathons, AI-enabled predictive models and, included the initiatives to make personal protective equipment, ventilators, and screening test.

Each year, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) celebrates the outstanding achievements of its students with awards that recognize academic accomplishments, community engagement, leadership, innovation, and volunteerism. Many of these awards are made possible by alumni and friends of CEPS, its departments and schools, and the University of Guelph.

The School of Computer Science is proud to highlight the following Bachelor of Computing award winners from our Computer Science and Software Engineering programs!
