Two standout students will join the University of Victoria community this fall as recipients of the prestigious national Schulich Leader Scholarship.

CAMTEC is expanding to establish a biosafety facility with new, cutting-edge equipment previously unavailable on Vancouver Island and infrastructure upgrades that will triple their research capacity.

A UVic expert in statistical genomics is part of a research team developing a rapid and cost-effective test to ensure cleaner grapevines for healthier vineyards across Canada.

Over the course of her life, mathematician Betty Kennedy contributed to the University of Victoria and the community in so many ways that to a non-mathematician they may seem countless. It is fitting with so much of the generosity that characterized her life that in her passing in 2019, Kennedy bestowed UVic with a $3.6-million gift.

UVic statistician Laura Cowen and mathematical modeller Junling Ma are working to estimate the hidden circulation of COVID-19 and predict new outbreaks.

New tool to find ‘hidden’ COVID cases

Nine years after transferring to UVic as an undergraduate student, Chris Bruce is leaving with a PhD in Mathematics and a prestigious NSERC Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship.

UVic civil engineering professor Ralph Evins is using machine learning to design energy-efficient buildings that don’t yet exist.

In order to measure the effectiveness of physical-distancing strategies on COVID-19, we must turn to mathematical and computer simulation models like the ones being developed by University of Victoria statistical mathematician Junling Ma.

Three prominent UVic scientists were among those awarded Canada Research Chairs in an announcement Friday by Kirsty Duncan, federal minister of science and sport.

Tyra Cockney-Goose, a second-year UVic math student, became the first Inuit to be awarded a national STEAM Horizon Award this spring. The award, supported by three national museums and NSERC, among others, honours youth who promote positive changes throughout their communities using science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

Chadi Saad-Roy was a high school math whiz with no idea when he first enrolled at UVic in 2012 that he would one day be trying to unravel how a cow with cattle fever spreads the disease to the rest of the herd. What a difference five years makes.

Microbiology co-op student Levana Mastrangelo is doing her part to make a difference in local Indigenous communities. She recently completed a co-operative education (co-op) work term with the Aboriginal STEM Outreach Program, where she became a liaison between UVic’s Science Venture and Indigenous youth on Vancouver Island.

An endangered Indigenous language and an endangered West Coast wildlife icon stand to benefit from the work of two new Banting Postdoctoral Fellows at UVic. Valued at $70,000 per year for two years, the fellowships are intended to groom Canada's next generation of research leaders.

Dr. Martial Agueh, of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, passed away in September. Agueh, who specialized in partial differential equations, was known for his radiant smile, his generosity and collegiality.

Christopher van Bommel, a master’s student in mathematics and statistics, has won an NSERC 2013 Andr&e#180; Hamer Postgraduate Prize from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). Valued at $10,000 each, the prize is awarded to five of the most outstanding candidates in NSERC’s master’s and doctoral scholarship competitions.
