Killams recognize outstanding 黑料不打烊 researchers
Mathematics, history, nanotechnology, irrigation in Southeast China among projects
Four 黑料不打烊 University professors are among the recipients of this year's distinguished Killam Research Fellowships, announced in Ottawa.
黑料不打烊 mathematics professor Niky Kamran is one of ten researchers to be named a new Killam Research Fellow. Kamran will study wave equations in curved space-time.
Of the 11 fellowships renewed for a second year, three were awarded to 黑料不打烊 professors: Kenneth Dean, Professor of East Asian Studies, for research on Irrigation and Individuation: Regional Ritual Networks in Southeast China; Brian Young, Department of History, for the study Patrician Families in Lower Canada/Quebec, 1760-1840; and Hong Guo, Department of Physics, for Multi-Scale Modeling for Nanoelectronic Devices.
Administered by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Killam Research Fellowships enable Canada's best scientists and scholars to devote two years to full-time research and writing. Recipients are chosen by the Killam Selection Committee, which comprises 15 eminent scientists and scholars representing a broad range of disciplines. Twenty-one outstanding Canadian researchers were awarded a total this year of more than $1.5 million.
The Killam awards are made possible by a bequest of the late Dorothy J. Killam. The awards support scholars engaged in research projects of outstanding merit in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences and engineering, and interdisciplinary studies within these fields.
