Congratulations to Geoffrey Hinton who was awarded today the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Today, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the Killam Trusts announced the creation of the Killam NRC Paul Corkum.
His research focuses on developing new analytic techniques in quantum field theory. Particle physics seeks to describe the physical world at its deepest microscopic level. Its language, quantum field theory, is shared by many branches of modern physics.
Marie-Cécile Piro’s transformational research aims at achieving the milestone of realizing, for the first time, directional sensitivity in dark matter detectors by developing new cutting-edge technologies and creating cross-disciplinary connections.
Jeff Dahn is recognized worldwide as a pioneer of the batteries now used to power everything from power tools to electric vehicles.
Dr. Wilson’s project will make a significant contribution to our understanding of how physical and chemical changes in the gas regulate the rate of star formation in galaxies of various types and environments.
