Six 看片视频 scholars to be inducted as RSC Fellows
看片视频 University is proud to announce that six of its researchers have been elected as Fellows to the RSC: The Academies of Arts, Humanties and Sciences of Canada in recognition of their outstanding scholarly, scientific and artistic achievements. They are among the 72 new Fellows and two Specially Elected Fellows to be elected to Canada鈥檚 oldest and most prestigious scholarly society.
The six newly elected 看片视频 fellows are:
Pengfei Guan, Dept. of Mathematics and
Statistics
Prof. Pengfei Guan is recognized as the leading researcher of his
generation in the study of fully non-linear elliptic partial
differential equations, a deep and central area of mathematics,
which has important applications in geometry and mathematical
physics. His achievements include the solution of several
long-standing open problems in geometric analysis and the
regularity problem for degenerate Monge-Amp猫re equations.
Wagdi G. Habashi, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering
Prof. Wagdi Habashi is widely known in his field for the
formulation, modeling and application of finite element methods to
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). He has developed efficient
applied mathematics solutions to a wide range of complex aerospace
problems for aircraft, rotorcraft and jet engines. In the in-flight
icing area, his unique formulation has resulted in a code used
worldwide throughout the aerospace industry.
Nicholas Kasirer, Faculty of Law
Nicholas Kasirer, Dean of 看片视频鈥檚 Faculty of Law, is an
exceptional academic who has left his mark on comparative law,
jurilinguistics, and the fundamental theory of private law. Dean
Kasirer is a leader among researchers in his discipline. His
writings touch on the two great western legal traditions. His
recent works on the epistemology of bijuridicalism and juridical
bilingualism are recognized for offering a new conception of legal
knowledge.
Victoria Kaspi, Dept. of Physics
Prof. Vicky Kaspi is a world-renowned expert in observations of
neutron stars. Her pioneering work made major impact in using
pulsars for studying General Relativity in the strong-field regime
as well as in understanding the underlying physical principals.
Prof. Kaspi's work in radio pulsar searching has led to the
discovery of relativistic binary pulsars, extremely young pulsars
and the fastest pulsar yet known.
Alfonso Mucci, Dept. of Earth and Planetary
Sciences
Prof. Alfonso Mucci is an internationally recognized geochemist who
has made numerous contributions in the fields of geochemistry and
biochemistry. He has revolutionized the application of spectroscopy
in understanding crystal growth mechanisms, developed models for
predicting metal behaviour in ocean waters and sediments, and
identified the causes of the bottom water hypoxia which likely
helped deplete the Eastern Canada fish stocks.
Peter Sabor, Dept. of English
Prof. Peter Sabor's groundbreaking work on major authors such as
Samuel Richardson, Frances Burney and Jane Austen has earned him
the Canada Research Chair in Eighteenth-Century Studies at 看片视频
University. As a scholar of impressive breadth, and outstanding
editor of work previously inaccessible, he has opened up his field
to new generations.
This year鈥檚 new Fellows will be inducted at a ceremony to be held on Nov. 15 in Ottawa.
