PhD student Dina Sabie is interested in designing technology to help Syrian refugees navigate their new lives in Canada. The first step, she says, is recognizing the barriers they face.

At an event this week co-hosted by the Canadian Embassy in Mexico City, Professor Aspuru-Guzik talked about his decision to move to U of T after 12 years at Harvard University.

Research done by computer science alumnus Professor Brendan Frey (ECE) said this week it will be working with Cambridge, Mass.-based, Wave Life Sciences.

Assistant Professor Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed is one of 30 U of T scholars sharing $7.3 million in federal funding through the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s John R. Evans Leaders Fund.

The pilot version of the CSC108 course – called "mastery-based" because students must master each section before moving on to the next – began in the winter term, with 60 students taking part.

U of T computer science students turned to their peers in the Faculty of Music for help making games that are as fun to listen to as they are to play. The games will be presented on April 4 at Level Up, an annual showcase for video games made by university and college students across Ontario.

Alán Aspuru-Guzik, a tenured professor at Harvard University, will arrive at U of T this summer. An expert in machine learning, quantum computing and chemistry, he is jointly appointed to the departments of chemistry and computer science as the Canada 150 Research Chair in Theoretical & Quantum Chemistry.

PhD student Carolina Gomes and alumnus Daniel Zhang are building a startup with the support of the Department of Computer Science Innovation Lab (DCSIL).

Should you consider a computer science degree? Q&A with Associate Professor, Teaching Stream, Paul Gries an associate professor.

PhD student Benett Axtell is researching user speech interactions and is a member of the Technologies for Aging Gracefully lab.

Over the past five years, more than 150 companies have been created. In total, they've generated more than $500 million in investment. Four of the top 10 mentions have a U of T computer science connection.

Kaufman, who co-founded WinterLight with fellow computer science researchers Maria Yancheva, Katie Fraser and Assistant Professor Frank Rudzicz, says the startup benefited immensely from its ongoing association with Toronto’s growing innovation community.

Nearly 60 startups and companies took part in the program’s internship fair over three days.
