ALT In the photo is Cheriton Chair and Professor Jimmy Lin, who has been named a 2022 ACM Fellow for his contributions to question answering, information retrieval, and natural language processing. When he’s not working on these things, Professor Lin enjoys travelling with his family — here he is on a recent vacation in Hawaii.

ALT In the photo is Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Craig Kaplan in his office. On the right are a variety of geometric shapes that form the basis of his creative pursuits and research interests. He uses mathematical ideas to create tools and algorithms that generate ornamental patterns and that empower artists and designers.

ALT The photo shows Professor Kaplan standing outside Waterloo’s Davis Centre, contemplating whether a shape and its reflection ought to be considered as distinct.
ALT In the photo is CS Professor Craig Kaplan holding two "einsteins" — a 13-sided shape he and his coauthors call "The Hat" that can tile a plane indefinitely without the pattern ever repeating. Behind Professor Kaplan is the University of Waterloo's Graham supercomputer. Professor Kaplan used and will continue to use Graham to extend the search for einsteins begun by hand, in the hopes of finding additional aperiodic monotiles.
ALT A photo of the Davis Centre, where Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science is housed. The Cheriton School of Computer Science brings together more than 100 professorial, emeritus and lecturer faculty members, 60 administrative, instructional and technical staff, with more than 4,000 undergraduate students and 400 graduate students.
ALT In the photo is Peyman Momeni, a recent master’s graduate from the Cheriton School of Computer Science. Peyman’s thesis, titled “FairBlock: Preventing Blockchain Front-running with Minimal Overheads,” developed identity-based encryption to prevent front-running, a family of strategies in which a malicious party manipulates the order of transactions in a blockchain.

ALT In the photo: The Davis Centre (on left), lit up as the sun sets, is where the Cheriton School of Computer Science resides. DC is connected to the Math and Computer Building by a two-story accessible bridge — a bridge that’s both physical and metaphorical. The MC Building is where computer science at Waterloo started. We continue to have deep connections to the other four academic departments within Waterloo’s Faculty of Mathematics.

ALT The photo is of Mahbod Majid, a recent Cheriton School of Computer Science master’s graduate who was advised by Professor Gautam Kamath. Mahbod is currently a first-year PhD student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science. His research interests are in algorithms, theoretical machine learning, sum-of-squares optimization, differential privacy, and high dimensional statistics.

ALT In this long-exposure photo, Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Victor Zhong holds a pose as students swirl about him outside the Davis Centre Library. Professor Zhong joined the Cheriton School of Computer Science as an Assistant Professor in August 2024. In September he was named a Canada CIFAR AI Chair and appointed as a faculty member at the Vector Institute.
ALT In the photo is Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Craig S. Kaplan holding two einstein tiles in front of Graham, Waterloo's supercomputer. The photo was taken with a fisheye lens, similar to the one HAL 9000 had. The difference here is that the Dave in the story is David Smith, a tiling enthusiast whose original observations led to this historic discovery.
ALT In the photo is Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Ian Goldberg. He is wearing a hat with EFF on it, short for Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that awarded him a Pioneer Award in 2011.
ALT In the photo from left to right are Professor Ken Salem, Mushi Wang and Professor Semih Salihoğlu. Co-authors Jeremy Chen and Yuqing Huang have graduated and were unavailable for the photo.

ALT The photo shows a person standing in front of “The Light Within” exhibit, facing the camera located at the top of an illuminated ping-pong wall. The sculpture is like a mirror, turning the individual into the art piece itself. Without the subject, the exhibit is not complete. Once in position, an illuminated version of the individual is projected onto the illuminated ping-pong wall.
