The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) recognizes excellence, advises the government and promotes a culture of knowledge and innovation. Five new fellows and four new RSC College members from the University of Waterloo are among other Canadian researchers elected this year. These researchers are recognized for their outstanding scholarly, scientific and artistic achievements, and their work spans cyber security, artificial intelligence, understanding societal change, health, robotics, materials research for energy, with substantive impacts to this research in areas related to climate and sustainability. N. Asokan, a Computer Science professor and a David R. Cheriton Chair in software systems, is one of the new fellows and will be joining the incoming cohorts of the RSC fellows and the new members of the RSC College.
