Faculty of Mathematics Graduate Research Excellence Award

The Faculty of Mathematics Graduate Research Excellence Award recognizes and celebrates research excellence among graduate students in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. Awards valued at up to $5,000 are provided annually to graduate students who are currently registered full time or who were last registered within the last two academic terms in the Faculty of Mathematics. Nominees must have authored or co-authored an outstanding research paper as of January 31st in the year of selection, with papers evaluated based on originality, importance, and potential impact. Students must be nominated by their supervisor, and final selections are made by the Faculty of Mathematics Research Advisory Committee. The award is made possible by the generosity of alumni and friends of the University of Waterloo. To be eligible, the nominee's paper must be published in or accepted to a journal or reviewed conference proceedings, or have passed the first round of the normal refereeing process for a journal. If multiple graduate students from the Faculty of Mathematics have made significant contributions to a multi-authored paper, they may be nominated as a group and share the award equally if selected.
