Krishnan's research focuses on building novel machine learning algorithms to automate clinically meaningful problems, and to advance our understanding of human health. He was a founding member of the AlphaGo project, which received the IJCAI Marvin Minsky Medal for Outstanding Achievements in AI in 2018. It is ranked the safest metropolitan city in North America. Soden’s research areas include crisis informatics, human-centred computing (HCC), and science and technology studies (STS). With its boroughs to the east, west and north, the Greater Toronto Area totals over 5.5 million residents.

Our researchers and graduate students continue to advance the field locally, nationally and internationally.

Anna Bretscher. Her recent interests are also in the system-level and programming challenges of large-scale machine learning and robotics. Born in Lebanon, Badr first joined the University of Toronto as a computer engineering undergraduate in 2005.

Toronto is among the most diverse cities in the world with over 50% of its 2.79 million citizens born outside of Canada. Swastik Kopparty will join the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Computer Science in fall 2021.

He is a CIFAR AI Chair at the Vector Institute, a research scientist at DeepMind, a member of the ELLIS Society, and a faculty affiliate of the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society. His research is in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, especially error-correcting codes, computational complexity theory, finite fields, randomness, and pseudorandomness. Her research interests lie broadly in theoretical computer science with a focus in arithmetic complexity, error correcting codes, and sublinear time algorithms. Robert Soden joins the Department of Computer Science and the School of the Environment as an assistant professor.

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto is among the best in the world. Her PhD dissertation research focused on enabling practical cross-layer approaches to system design to rethink the abstractions and interfaces with which the programming model, system, and the hardware architecture interact. Assistant ProfessorStarted September 1, 2020. Pratt Building (6 King’s College Road). Assistant ProfessorStarts January 1, 2021. View the history of our department through an interactive timeline. Wang’s research areas include machine learning and computational biology. Prior to joining MIT, he was working on visual navigation at the Autonomous Systems Lab of ETH Zurich and obtained a PhD in computer science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He also holds a CIFAR AI Chair at Vector Institute. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. Previously, he was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ from 2019–2020, and he completed his PhD at the University of Oxford. Nathan Wiebe will join the Department of Computer Science as Assistant Professor in January 2021. Wang obtained his PhD from the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, and has extensive industrial research experience at many leading companies such as Illumina. Gilitschenski’s overarching research interest is learning and inference for multi-modal perception and environment-aware decision making to enable robust interactive autonomy. His primary research examines how smartphone sensors can be used to objectively measure symptoms that are typically judged qualitatively. © 2020 Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, safest metropolitan city in North America, ranked fourth in the World's Top Ten Hubs.

Since 1964, our researchers' work has had a major impact on the field: Genesys, developed in 1967-9, one of the earliest interactive computer animation systems. Prior to his PhD at MIT, Krishnan received a BASc in computer engineering from the University of Toronto, and an MS in computer science from New York University. Strug completed her graduate work in biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Toronto, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship and faculty appointment in statistical genetics at Columbia University. Jakob Foerster will join the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (University of Toronto Scarborough) and the Vector Institute in January 2021. Krishnan recently completed his PhD at MIT under Professor David Sontag. He received his PhD in 2011 from the University of Calgary studying quantum computing before accepting a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo and then joining Microsoft Research in 2013.
