GANITA LAB
- Started in January 2001, this group studies Geometry, Algebra, Number Theory and their Information Technology Applications. It was initially housed in the Department of Mathematics at St. George. As space was unavailable for growth, it moved to UTM and was there from 2001-2010. In 2010, it returned to St. George and is now housed on the 10th floor of 215 Huron Street. Over the past 12 years, GANITA has received approximately $1.5 million in funding agency and industrial grants.
