David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Professor Ian Goldberg and former Cheriton School of Computer Science doctoral students Aniket Kate and Gregory Zaverucha have received the 2025 Asiacrypt Test-of-Time Award. Their paper, Constant-Size Commitments to Polynomials and Their Applications, was presented originally at Asiacrypt 2010, the 16^th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security.

The Test-of-Time Award honours a paper presented 15 years earlier that has had a significant and lasting impact on the theory and practice of cryptography and information security.

Three Waterloo computer science professors are at the forefront of two new research initiatives that are developing cutting-edge, inclusive, and trustworthy AI systems.

The inaugural research initiatives — Solution Networks — are funded through the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research’s (CIFAR) Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAISI) Research Program. In 2024, the federal government launched the CAISI Research Program as part of its AI safety strategy.

To kick off Global Entrepreneurship Week, UWaterloo is highlighting standout entrepreneurs. Among this list is Rastin Rassoli, a joint computer science and psychology student.
