Speakers
Dr. Guy-Vincent Jourdan
Professor, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
In a few short years, Dr. Guy-Vincent Jourdan has established himself as a world leader in software security systems. Since the beginning of his career, he and his team have consistently been involved in numerous research partnerships, winning multiple awards and attracting substantial funding. The strength of his approach to collaborative research is in his desire to address industry’s pressing problems, rather than to advance his own research agenda. His contributions to initiating and fostering research partnerships are outstanding. Due to his continued research excellence, the University of Ottawa now hosts one of only three Cyber Ranges in the world, ours being the only one with an academic component, in partnership with IBM.

Dr. Diana Inkpen, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Dr. Diana Inkpen is a team player when it comes to interdisciplinary research. For the past 20 years, her contributions to artificial intelligence, specifically, to natural language processing and deep learning, have been exceptional and recognized across numerous fields, including communications, psychiatry, cognitive science and pediatrics. Her recent contributions include the design of novel deep learning algorithms to detect early signs of mental health issues. She co-founded the uOttawa Legal Tech Lab, in collaboration with the Faculty of Law, a joint effort that recently received a substantial Canada Foundation for Innovation grant.
