Recognition/Reconnaissance
William Dawson Scholar at McGill University | Professional
The William Dawson Scholar award recognizes a scholar developing into an outstanding and original researcher of world-class caliber who is poised to become a leader in his or her field, similar to that of a CRC Tier 2 chair holder.
Tomlinson Scientist Award, Associate Professor Category | Professional
The intention of the award is: 1) to recognize and support excellence 2) to recognize and support scientific leadership particularly the collaborative leadership of a research agenda 3) to provide seed money for emerging research directions, including those of an interdisciplinary nature.
Senior Fellow at CIFAR program in Learning in Machines & Brains | Professional
CIFAR fellows take on tough questions that span disciplines. The answers they require can only be reached by international, interdisciplinary teams working together over a sustained period of time. Our 14 programs tackle questions across four broad areas: improving human health, creating successful societies, using technology to make life better, and sustaining life on Earth.
Principal's Prize for Outstanding Emerging Researchers at McGill University | Professional
