Congratulations to our incoming master's student, Tanner Boyle, on being awarded a $17,500 merit-based scholarship from the Vector Institute for the 2024-25 academic year! https://vectorinstitute.ai/24-25-vector-ai-scholarship-announcement/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=announcement

Vector Institute announces nearly $2 million in scholarships for top Ontario AI graduate students - Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence 115 recipients were awarded a $17,500 merit-based scholarship from the Vector Institute for the 2024-25 academic year.

🎉🎓 Exciting times ahead! A warm welcome to all our new graduate students joining us this year. 🙌 Don't miss out on the Graduate Orientation happening TOMORROW at 2:30 at AT2001. It's a fantastic opportunity to get familiarized, ask questions, interact with faculty, staff and guest speakers, and start your journey on the right foot. See you there! 🚀📘

We look forward to welcoming our new graduate students at the Virtual Welcome & Orientation Information Session of Computer Science Department at 11:30 am tomorrow!

Welcome Dr. Akriti Jindal, a new postdoc of Dr. Vijay Mago's group to our Department! Dr. Akriti Jindal received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar in December 2021. During her Ph.D., she worked on mathematical modeling and computational analysis of transport processes. She has eight publications in reputed peer-reviewed international journals. Before that, in 2016 she completed her Master’s degree in Mathematics and Computing from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology. For her sustained excellence during her two years of Master's, she was awarded a Gold Medal. Now, she has currently joined Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, ON as a Postdoctoral fellow in Computer Science Department. She will be working with Dr. Vijay Mago on Computational Linguistics that reasonably requires a well-defined mathematical framework to provide a theoretical basis for various computational techniques and algorithms to evaluate semantic measures!

We are pleased to announce that three first-year Computer Science MSc candidates received a Vector Scholarship in Artificial Intelligence from Vector Institute! Congratulations, Mohammad Khosravani, Maliheh Marzani, and Paul Shouvik, and welcome to the Department of Computer Science at Lakehead!

Warmest wishes from Computer Science Department. Wish you, your friends & family a joyful, restful, and wonderful holiday season!
