Dr. Frank Rudzicz aims to turn Dalhousie into a hub for applied AI that can reduce burdens and barriers in health care and a long list of other fields that benefit humanity.

Iranian-born Dr. Maryam Abdollahi, a postdoctoral fellow at Dal, has demonstrated that having the right support system and a willingness to embrace and learn from challenges can lead to great things.

Computer Science Professor Dr. Nur Zincir-Heywood founded Dal's Women in Technology Society close to two decades ago. This week, the group launched an award in her name at a gala just days after she received national recognition with an appointment to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

A Canadian naval vessel with scientists from Dal and other Canadian government and academic institutions has cruised into Antarctic waters, carrying equipment designed and built in Nova Scotia, in an unprecedented mission to conduct climate-change research at the bottom of the earth.

Thousands of Canadians are saved each year by a device inserted in the body that zaps the heart back on track when it’s threatened by dangerous rhythms, but the side effect is pain and trauma. A Dalhousie researcher has determined the most effective way to limit the shocks, prompting a re-evaluation of heart treatment worldwide.
