New study from researchers at the University of Ottawa’s Department of Family Medicine found mix of virtual and in-person care provides potential antidote to physician, resource shortages.

Dr. Michelle LA Nelson joins Bruyère Health Research Institute and the Brain-Heart Interconnectome.

In a period of profound change, 2025 was a year of acceleration that foreshadows how the University of Ottawa will shape the future of its community, of Canada and the world in the months and years ahead.

The University of Ottawa Press just published “The Security of Self: A Human-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity, a new interdisciplinary collection co-edited by Dr. Emily Laidlaw and Dr. Florian Martin-Bariteau. The collection invites a rethinking of cybersecurity’s core purpose, shifting the focus from the technical infrastructure to a central goal of protecting people — and society — from harm.

A research team at the University of Ottawa has developed an advanced artificial intelligence system designed to autonomously defend wireless networks from jamming attacks, operating much like a digital immune system. This technology can automatically detect and respond to jamming in real time, which could play a critical role in securing Canada’s communications infrastructure.

Two uOttawa mathematics professors, together with a postdoctoral researcher, aim to uncover new ways to understand the hidden symmetries of the universe through the study of quantum groups. Their breakthrough, which replaces pages of complex equations with intuitive visual diagrams, could lay the groundwork for advances in quantum computing and future technologies.

In the high-stakes race to attract top talent from around the world, the University of Ottawa has landed a big name with impressive networks and Canadian ties by recruiting Dr. Caroline Cao as dean of its Faculty of Engineering.

The University of Ottawa, the Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) and the Scholars at Risk (SAR) uOttawa Committee are delighted to welcome a new visiting researcher!

This year’s top research stories showcase the power of collaboration. By uniting disciplines and engaging communities and industry, these partnerships deepen our understanding of society’s most pressing challenges and shape solutions that deliver real impact.

Instead of relying on expensive superconducting magnets, a team led by Professor David Bryce, featuring doctoral candidate Alireza Nari, has used very low magnetic fields to capture signals from traditionally hard-to-study atoms. The breakthrough, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, has allowed researchers to measure the strength of elusive halogen bonds in solids. An open d...
