He was a life-long friend of the sciences in Canada. In addition to his memberships in the Geological Association of Canada (GAC), and numerous other scientific societies, he served for seventeen years as a member of the Canadian Geological Foundation, a charitable foundation promoting earth science-related activities. For his extraordinary service to the GAC, Hugh was honored with the Ambrose J. Willis Medal in 1993. He became a 'Distinguished Fellow' of the GAC in 1995, and a member of the Royal Society of Canada in 1997. Hugh's contributions to the sciences encompassed service on several committees for the National Research Council of Canada and the National Research Council of the United States. He chaired both 'Lithoprobe', a major seismic research project on the earth's crust, and the Canada Global Change Program, a joint initiative of the Royal Society of Canada and Environment Canada devoted to the study and mitigation of climate change. In addition, he was Chairman of the Board of the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), and Chair of the Board of the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS), a Canadian Networks of Centres of Excellence.? -- In 2011, he generously endowed a yearly lecture series at PIMS, the Hugh C. Morris Lecture Series, which attracts the world?s top mathematical scientists to deliver presentations on current research topics to PIMS sites in Western Canada and Washington State. Dr. Morris served on the PIMS Board for over ten years. We are enormously grateful to Hugh for his generosity and vision in support of the mathematical sciences. His contributions to PIMS and science in Canada are truly outstanding. In addition he is a wonderful person who has provided valuable advice to PIMS Directors over the years. It has been a real privilege to count on his friendship and counsel.

It is available on the website http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/Reports-Rapports/Assessment-Assessment_eng.asp for which you should enter the code: 7243623 It will be avaliable until January 25, so we have to be somewhat prompt. This survey is the form in which NSERC is consulting its constituency over decision-making criteria for an upcoming budget re-allocation process between the different scientific disciplines. This process is going to (again) make decisions as to the distribution of the total budget envelopes of the different Evaluation Groups (EGs). In this it is extremely important to us, especially as our funding has historically been so far behind. Here is the website of the NSERC background material for their envisioned reallocation process: https://ensemble.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/surveys/SC00002/L001/Backgrounder6-e.pdf Criteria for making such choices is the topic of a recent Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) report, available here: http://www.scienceadvice.ca/en/assessments/completed/science-performance.aspx A brief outline of this report is that dry `indicators' or `metrics' such as blind publication counts or citation indices, averaged or not, are in general not good indicators of research quality, activity, capacity or trends, and certainly not for individual researchers, or in comparisons between groups of researchers in different scientific areas. Indeed they conclude that consultation with expert panels, and in the context of the individual disciplines, is the best way to make informed decisions. But these type of indicators would possibly be of use as reference material in expert panel deliberations which compared more broadly a discipline (such as math) with the same discipline in other countries. The NSERC survey is in a way asking us whether we agree with the CCA report. It is a long and confusing questionnaire, which spends a lot of time asking whether various dry indicators are valid for making decisions on various detailed things, such as (1) Research Trends, (2) Research Quality and (3) Research Capacity. Little is mentioned of the CCA recommendation that expert panels are most important. I would be very happy if you could dedicate a small bit of time to filling our this questionnaire, at least on behalf of the mathematics community. Because it is so confusing, and there are literally hundreds of pages of background material to read for a complete story, I am including a summary of my own answers below, hoping that they will clarify the process of your response. Best regards, Walter Walter Craig Chair: Mathematics - NSERC Liaison Committee %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% NSERC Survey on Reallocation Decisions, and CCA Report on Informing Research Choices: [Outline of W. Craig's responses] Questions Q1 - Q5 are just standard, where one works and one's seniority Questions Q6 - Q12 and all of their sub-parts consist essentially of a tedious passage through the tables given in Background, Appendix A. The questions are like `Do you agree or disagree with indicator X being used for the factor Y' (where Y = (1) Research Trends, (2) Research Quality and (3) Research Capacity as given above). My own survey answers here included the statements `only if they are in the context of a deeper Expert Panel review, and taken internationally and within the context of the discipline'. Q13: Is the present DG allocation scheme overly driven by historical awards? A: YES, we have been historically underfunded for decades! Q14: A long list of questions on the addequacy of DG budget allocations, which I responded as essentially all being inadequate (ie my answers are either 2 or 1 = strongly disagree). Q14(c) is particularly important. `Is the overall funding available to our EG 1508 fair, in relation to the other EGs. My answer is 1 = strongly disagree. Questions 15 through to the end are regarding hypothetical scenerios in which more funds enter into the DG program. Here is an outline of my answers: Q15: [NO] Q16(a): [7 = strongly agree] (b): [7 = strongly agree] Q18 is important again - by which qualities should we assess allocation of any (hypothetical) DG funding increases. My answer to Q18(b) is `to rectify historical discrepancies in discipline funding that have persisted over time'. Q19: Should there be periodic reallocation. A: YES Q20: on zero-sum reallocation. Q20(b) `Funds should be redistributed with historical data in mind, to make up the historical underfunding of mathematics & statistics'. Q21: What are acceptable yearly fluctuation bounds in EG budgets? My answer = `There should be a built-in method of averaging, so that in a given year, and in a given discipline, the grant awards are not held unfairly hostage (forced into crisis) by a downward fluctuation in returning grant amounts.' Q22: The CCA report strongly advocates that expert judgments/deliberative methods be of dominant importance in budget allocations/reallocations, with supporting data given by multiple quantitative indicators, such as Average Relative Citations, or Weighted Publication Counts. These latter should always be used within the context of the specific discipline, as inter-discipline comparisons are not meaningful. Q23 and Q24: At what frequency should there be a reallocation exercise, adnd what portion of an EG budget should come into play. I responded: `Each 5 years until an approximate steady-state is reached'. And 15% of the budget should be allowed to fluctuate (this proportion allows 50% change over 3 reallocation exercises, which actually is close to what mathematics & statistics needs). That is all, good luck. PS By the way, you can apparently take the survey as many times as you want, it is just a website and doesn't seem to count. I am not encouraging you to submit duplicates, but if you want to abandon a scratch copy that you have partially started, you seem to be perfectly able to start again. -- Walter Craig frsc Professor of Mathematics and Canada Research Chair Department of Mathematics and Statistics McMaster University 905-525-9140 ext 23422 From nassif at math.ubc.ca Tue Jan 15 13:56:36 2013 From: nassif at math.ubc.ca (Nassif Ghoussoub) Date: Tue Jan 15 13:57:47 2013 Subject: [cmath] NSERC's survey on re-allocation: More reasons on why we should participate Message-ID: <89AB178D-7E6C-4E7F-A1D1-37055D918322@math.ubc.ca> http://nghoussoub.com/2013/01/15/re-allocation-among-disciplines-at-nserc-bibliometrics-or-a-deliberative-process/ From commsp at cms.math.ca Wed Jan 16 10:15:27 2013 From: commsp at cms.math.ca (Jessica St-James) Date: Wed Jan 16 10:15:46 2013 Subject: [cmath] CMS Doctoral Prize/ Prix de doctorat de la SMC Message-ID: <50F6C40F.5080400@cms.math.ca> *The deadline has been extended to February 15 ,2013* The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) invites nominations for the *2013 Doctoral Prize*.

Can two people who never met create a secret language in the presence of others, which no one but them can understand? Is it possible for a group of people to play a (card-less) game of Poker on the telephone, without anyone being able to cheat? Can you convince others that you can solve a tough math (or SudoKu) puzzle, without giving them the slightest hint of your solution? These questions (and their remarkable answers) are in the realm of modern cryptography. In this talk I plan to survey some of the mathematical and computational ideas, definitions and assumptions which underlie privacy and security of the Internet and electronic commerce. We shall see how these lead to solutions of the questions above and many others. I will also explain the fragility of the current foundations of modern cryptography, and the need for stronger ones. No special background will be assumed. Bio: DR. AVI WIGDERSON is a widely recognized authority in theoretical computer science. His main research area is computational complexity theory. This field studies the power and limits of efficient computation and is motivated by such fundamental scientific problems as: Does P=NP? Can every efficient process be efficiently reversed? Can randomness enhance efficient computation? Can quantum mechanics enhance efficient computation? He has received, among other awards, both the Nevanlinna Prize and the G?del Prize. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can you convince others that you can solve a tough math (or SudoKu) puzzle, without giving them the slightest hint of your solution? These questions (and their remarkable answers) are in the realm of modern cryptography. In this talk I plan to survey some of the mathematical and computational ideas, definitions and assumptions which underlie privacy and security of the Internet and electronic commerce. We shall see how these lead to solutions of the questions above and many others. I will also explain the fragility of the current foundations of modern cryptography, and the need for stronger ones. No special background will be assumed. Bio: DR. AVI WIGDERSON is a widely recognized authority in theoretical computer science. His main research area is computational complexity theory. This field studies the power and limits of efficient computation and is motivated by such fundamental scientific problems as: Does P=NP? Can every efficient process be efficiently reversed? Can randomness enhance efficient computation? Can quantum mechanics enhance efficient computation? He has received, among other awards, both the Nevanlinna Prize and the G?del Prize. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Prof. Yuksel received his MSc in 2003 and PhD in 2006, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under the supervision of Tamer Basar. Subsequently, he did postdoctoral work at Yale University, and currently is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Prof. Yuksel was cited "for his contributions to the areas of information and control theory, and the interface between these. "Professor Yuksel's main contributions are in two areas. In the first instance, he has made fundamental contributions to the study of control of systems under information constraints. He has developed a framework in which the factors that govern the feasibility of control systems with unreliability in data transfer are laid bare, and has designed effective control laws that can be shown to work. His second area of key contributions is in decentralized control, i.e. situations in which one has many agents whose behaviour one is trying to control, but in which agents do not communicate fully with one another, and/or some do not communicate at all. In this instance, Professor Yuksel has provided a framework for evaluating the extent and type of information that must be transmitted in order that the desired group behaviour can be achieved. The award consists of a cash prize of $1,000 and a commemorative plaque that will be presented at the CAIMS Annual Meeting in Quebec City in June 2013. Prof. Yuksel will deliver a plenary lecture at the meeting as part of the award ceremony.

This professional posture is in some ways very admirable. However, where do their ideas really come from? Do they strictly follow the straight-and-narrow pathways of pure, rigorous, logical axiomatic deduction in order to reach their often astonishing conclusions? No. This talk will be about how deeply and universally mathematical thought, at all levels of sophistication, is riddled with impure, nonrigorous, illogical intuitions originating in analogies, often highly unconscious ones. Some of these analogies are good and some of them are bad, but good or bad, it is they that lurk behind the scenes of all mathematical thought. What is curious, to my mind, is that so few mathematicians seem to take pleasure in examining and exploring this crucial and wonderful aspect of their minds, their thoughts, and their deep discoveries. Perhaps, however, they can be stimulated to examine their own hidden thinking processes if the ubiquity of analogies can be made sufficiently vivid as to grab their interest. So in this talk, I will do my best to provoke mathematicians. At the same time, I will try equally hard to convey to non-mathematicians the sheer joy of mathematical thinking, of mathematical invention, of mathematical discovery, of mathematical revelation. To convey this intense type of joy, I will conclude the talk with some highly personal tales of analogical invention/discovery in mathematics, because I still recall the profound and heady exhilaration they gave me over 50 years ago so vividly that it all might as well have happened just yesterday.

Engage provides funding for first-time partnerships between a university researcher and an industry partner - that is, projects where the researcher and his industry partner have never formally worked together in the past. Interaction underwrites travel costs so a researcher can visit targeted companies (Canada only) to discuss possible research collaborations. Engage and Interaction grants will appeal to Partners in the analytics, modelling and big data industry who want to forge new relationships with Ryerson researchers. Unlike some comparable funding programs (including NSERC's well-established Collaborative R&D grant program), no cash contribution is required from the industry partner.

(Paris, V) *Launch of the Poincar? Chair** **Institut Henri Poincar? (Paris, V?)* The Poincar? Chair owes its creation and its existence for the next five years to the reward the Clay Mathematics Institute, http://www.claymath.org/ (CMI, Providence, Rhode Island) has reserved for the solution of the Poincar? Conjecture. The aim of this program, started in January 2013 by the Henri Poincar? Institute, http://www.ihp.fr/ (Paris, V?), is to allow young talented mathematicians to develop their skills in outstanding working conditions... just like Grigori Perelman benefited from a chair from the Miller Institute in Berkeley (California, USA) at the beginning of his career. This research program of a *6 month or 1 year* duration comes with *a generous salary, an ideal mathematical environment in Paris, and no obligations* ; it is open to all thematics in mathematics. The objective is to give young researchers on the edge of a promising international career the means to develop deep and audacious research projects, as well as to base their international recognition.

Donations to the CMS have been made for many reasons, including in memory of a colleague, or to support our work with students, or simply to help support our national voice. And there are some for whom their love of mathematics simply always includes the CMS, like David Bates, Appointed Director on the CMS Board of Directors and Chair of the Invested Funds Committee, who has given to the CMS many times and in many ways and in his own words eloquently explains why: "Mathematics matters! Perhaps I'm preaching to the choir, but the message is important. It's also important not to just 'Talk the Talk', but to 'Walk the Walk'. Mathematics has been such an important part of my working life that throughout my career as an actuary I have felt compelled to volunteer my time and energy with actuarial organizations, universities, and the CMS to support and promote mathematics education. The CMS is the central professional organization for Canadian mathematicians and is our public voice as it carries out so many important functions through its competitions, research projects, publications, meetings, and community outreach. To do this and more, it needs not only our support as active and engaged members but also our financial support. I know that my annual donation makes a difference and I urge all members to consider an annual financial gift to help our Society continue its vital work. As well, a financial legacy gift can help our Society remain strong and relevant for the members and our communities into the future. Join me and provide the support the CMS needs. It matters!" If you have not given yet, please join David and your colleagues and myself and make a donation today to help support the work of CMS. The CMS promotes the advancement, discovery, learning, and application of mathematics and does so on your behalf and for our community at large. Your support is important, your gift will help, and Canadian mathematics will be the better for it! Sincerely, Keith Taylor CMS President ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cher coll?gue, Au nom de la SMC, je remercie sinc?rement toutes les personnes qui ont fait un don ? la SMC dans le cadre de notre campagne du printemps 2013. Vous avez donn? ? la SMC pour de nombreuses raisons, par exemple ? la m?moire d'un coll?gue, pour soutenir notre travail aupr?s des ?tudiants ou simplement pour nous aider ? tenir notre r?le de porte-parole national. Pour certaines personnes, la passion des math?matiques suffit en soi ? inclure la SMC dans leur liste de b?n?ficiaires. C'est notamment le cas de David Bates, Directeur nomm? sur le Conseil d'administration de la SMC et Pr?sident du Comit? des finances, qui a donn? ? la SMC ? de nombreuses reprises et de toutes sortes de fa?ons, et qui explique son geste avec grande ?loquence : ? Les math?matiques comptent! Je pr?che sans doute ? des convertis, mais le message est important. Il est tout aussi important de ne pas se limiter aux belles paroles, mais de donner l'exemple. Les math?matiques occupent une si grande place dans mon travail d'actuaire que depuis le d?but de ma carri?re, je consacre du temps et de l'?nergie b?n?volement ? des associations du domaine de l'actuariat, ? des universit?s et ? la SMC pour promouvoir l'apprentissage des math?matiques. La SMC est le principal regroupement professionnel des math?maticiens canadiens, et notre porte-parole en raison de sa participation ? de si nombreuses activit?s importantes : concours, projets de recherche, publications, congr?s, sensibilisation. Pour faire tout cela et plus encore, elle a besoin de notre appui comme membres actifs et engag?s, mais aussi de notre soutien financier. Je sais que mon don annuel compte beaucoup, et j'encourage tous les membres ? faire une contribution annuelle pour aider notre Soci?t? ? poursuivre ses activit?s vitales. Un don au Fonds de post?rit? est une autre fa?on d'assurer la vitalit? et la pertinence futures de la Soci?t? pour ses membres et nos communaut?s. Unissons-nous pour donner ? la SMC le soutien dont elle a besoin. ?a compte! ? Si vous n'avez pas encore donn?, joignez-vous ? David, ? vos coll?gues et ? moi-m?me et faites un don aujourd'hui m?me pour soutenir le travail de la Soci?t?. La SMC a pour mission de promouvoir et de favoriser la d?couverte et l'apprentissage des math?matiques, et les applications qui en d?coulent. Elle le fait en votre nom et pour notre communaut? dans son ensemble. Votre soutien est important, votre don fera une diff?rence, et les math?matiques au Canada s'en porteront bien mieux! Veuillez agr?er l'expression des mes sentiments les meilleurs.

The CUMC is the largest conference in North America for undergraduate students in mathematics, and it will be held from July 10th to July 14th, 2013. The conference offers a unique opportunity for students to acquire a first exposure to current research in different mathematical fields. Through seminars and social activities, the CUMC also provides venue for students to connect with other students from across Canada ? connections students can benefit from throughout their mathematical career. Furthermore, the event seeks to promote different fields within mathematics, and offers a unique opportunity for students to meet active researchers working in applied fields, such as physics, economics, informatics, statistics, engineering, and actuarial science. The conference brings together more than two hundred students from various academic backgrounds. Each student has the opportunity to present a topic they find interesting. It is a rewarding experience for talented young mathematicians to go beyond the typical undergraduate experience and meet to discuss their common interests with like-minded students. It is a non-competitive event because we believe that such a context best facilitates the exchange of ideas and encourages diversity, which is essential for the development of mathematics across the country. Registrations are from now until June 23rd, and there is an early bird registration discount before June 1st. If you want more information, on the schedule, how to get to Montr?al or about the conference in general, you can visit our website, www.cumc.math.ca, you can ask on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/cumc2013 or send us an e-mail at communications@cumc.math.ca.

Iannis Xenakis was one of the most intriguing and influential composers of the 20th century. As one of the pioneers of computer music, Xenakis explored algorithmic approaches to composition and was known for expanding sound worlds of traditional ensembles, especially his expansive use of percussion instruments. His works and ideas have inspired generations of composers since. The festival features the JACK Quartet, TorQ Percussion, the McGill and University of Toronto Percussion Ensembles, as well as a concert of electroacoustics, video, and robotic performers.

Could you please transfer the following message to your undergraduate students in mathematics and statistics? Jean Lagac? CUMC organizing committee -------------------------- Hi, We are inviting you to come to Universit? de Montr?al, for the twentieth Canadian Undergraduate Mathematical Conference. The CUMC is the largest conference in North America for undergraduate students in mathematics, and it will be held from July 10th to July 14th 2013. The conference offers a unique opportunity for students to acquire a first exposure to current research in different mathematical fields. Through seminars and social activities, the CUMC also provides venue for students to connect with other students from across Canada ? connections students can benefit from throughout their mathematical career. Furthermore, the event seeks to promote different fields within mathematics, and offers a unique opportunity for students to meet active researchers working in applied fields, such as physics, economics, informatics, statistics, engineering, and actuarial science. The conference brings together more than two hundred students from various academic backgrounds. Each student has the opportunity to present a topic they find interesting. It is a rewarding experience for talented young mathematicians to go beyond the typical undergraduate experience and meet to discuss their common interests with like-minded students. It is a non-competitive event because we believe that such a context best facilitates the exchange of ideas and encourages diversity, which is essential for the development of mathematics across the country. Registrations are from now until June 23rd, and there is an early bird registration discount before June 1st. If you want more information, on the schedule, how to get to Montr?al or about the conference in general, you can visit our website, www.cumc.math.ca, you can ask on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/cumc2013 or send us an e-mail at communications@cumc.math.ca.

Field,* Professor at Dalhousie University, Halifax has been awarded Honorary Membership in the Statistical Society of Canada. Professor Field received his award at University of Alberta, Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. This award is intended to honour an individual who has made exceptional contributions to the development of the statistical sciences in Canada and whose work has had a major impact in this country. Professor Christopher Arnell Field was born during an air raid seven decades ago in Portsmouth, England. His interest in statistics was sparked as a child in Sydney, Nova Scotia, collecting statistics on his favourite baseball team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. He received his BSc from Dalhousie University in 1964 and his PhD from Northwestern University in 1968. After graduation he served as an Attach? de recherches at the Universit? de Montr?al and then as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie. He was appointed Assistant Professor at Dalhousie in 1970, Professor in 1983, and Professor Emeritus after his retirement in 2005. He is proof of the existence of a statistics gene; his son Brian studied statistics, and similarly his grandson Trent intends to enrol in statistics at Waterloo. Professor Field is one of Canada?s most broadly influential statisticians and educators and a gifted and dedicated teacher. He is also a devoted public servant, who, with great competence, has served Canadian statistics through leadership roles, as Chair of the NSERC Statistical Sciences Grant Selection Committee, as Director of Statistics at Dalhousie and founding Director of the Statistical Consulting Service, and in many other administrative roles at Dalhousie where the department has been shaped by his influence. He was President of the Nova Scotia Institute of Science, and President of the SSC, and has acted as the Program Chair for two of the Society?s Annual Meetings and as Local Arrangements Chair in two others. His research is an impressive record of deep theoretical developments tempered with an appropriate perspective that has advanced the applied side of the discipline, often not measured by the complexity of the underlying mathematics but by exposing its simplicity. He made early and important contributions to our understanding of the properties of M-estimators and was a pioneer in the application of saddlepoint approximations. His delightful book with Elvezzio Ronchetti, Small Sample Asymptotics, is a classic. More recently he has been involved with statistical genetics problems associated with fish and plant populations. In recognition of the breadth of his contri-butions to the discipline, Chris was awarded the SSC?s Distinguished Service Award in 2004 and the Gold Medal in 2006. He is also a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. The citation for the award reads: ?To Chris Field, for his fundamental contributions to the statistical sciences in the areas of robustness and small sample asymptotics, for his interdisciplinary research in biology, and for decades of devoted service to statistical consulting and education including his service as President of the Nova Scotia Institute of Science and President of the Statistical Society of Canada.?

Field,* professeur ? l?Universit? de Dalhousie, Halifax s?est vu d?cerner le titre de membre honoraire de la Soci?t? statistique du Canada. Le professeur Field a re?u son prix ? la University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB), o? plus de 500 statisticiens participent au 41?me congr?s annuel de la Soci?t?. Ce titre vise ? honorer un individu qui a contribu? de mani?re exceptionnelle au d?veloppement des sciences statistiques au Canada et dont les travaux ont eu un impact majeur au pays. Le professeur Christopher Arnell Field est n? pendant un raid a?rien il y a sept d?cennies, ? Portsmouth, en Angleterre. Son int?r?t pour la statistique s?est d?velopp? tr?s t?t lorsque, enfant ? Sydney (Nouvelle-?cosse), il a commenc? ? noter les statistiques de son ?quipe de baseball pr?f?r?e, les Dodgers de Brooklyn. Il a obtenu un baccalaur?at de Dalhousie en 1964 et un doctorat de la Northwestern University en 1968. Apr?s ses ?tudes, il a travaill? comme attach? de recherches ? l?Universit? de Montr?al, puis comme boursier postdoctoral ? Dalhousie. Il a ?t? nomm? professeur adjoint ? Dalhousie en 1970 et professeur titulaire en 1983, puis professeur ?m?rite lors de son d?part ? la retraite en 2005. Il constitue une preuve vivante de l?existence d?un g?ne de la statistique : son fils Brian a ?tudi? la statistique et son petit-fils Trent compte s?inscrire dans cette m?me discipline ? Waterloo. Le professeur Field est l?un des statisticiens et ?ducateurs les plus influents du Canada, un enseignant dou? et engag?. Il s?est ?galement vou? au service public, ayant servi et dirig? la communaut? statistique canadienne avec une extr?me comp?tence, ? titre de pr?sident du Comit? de s?lection des subventions en sciences statistiques du CRSNG, de directeur de la statistique ? Dalhousie, de directeur fondateur du Service de consultation statistique de l?universit? et dans divers autres r?les administratifs ? Dalhousie dont le d?partement a ?t? largement fa?onn? par son influence. Il a pr?sid? le Nova Scotia Institute of Science et la SSC, pr?sid? le Comit? scientifique de deux congr?s annuels de la Soci?t? et le Comit? des arrangements locaux de deux autres. Il peut se vanter d?un bilan de recherche th?orique fondamentale impressionnant, temp?r? par une perspective qui a contribu? ? faire avancer les applications de la discipline, applications qui se mesurent souvent non pas par la complexit? des math?matiques sous-jacentes, mais par la mise en ?vidence de leur simplicit?. Il a contribu? tr?s t?t et de mani?re importante ? notre compr?hension des propri?t?s des M-estimateurs et a ?t? l?un des pionniers des m?thodes d?approximation par point de selle. Son superbe ouvrage cor?dig? avec Elvezzio Ronchetti, Small Sample Asymptotics, est un classique. Plus r?cemment, il s?est int?ress? ? des probl?mes de statistique g?n?tique concernant les populations de poissons et de plantes. En reconnaissance de l??tendue de ses contributions ? la discipline, Chris a re?u le prix pour services insignes de la SSC en 2004 et sa m?daille d?or en 2006. Il est ?galement compagnon de l?Association des statisticiens am?ricains. La citation du titre de membre honoraire se lit comme suit : ? ? Chris Field, en reconnaissance de ses contributions fondamentales ? la th?orie statistique dans les domaines de la robustesse et de la th?orie asymptotique pour de petits ?chantillons, ses travaux de recherche interdisciplinaire en biologie, et pour des d?cennies de service d?vou? en consultation statistique et en ?ducation, incluant des mandats ? titre de Pr?sident de l?Institut de science de la Nouvelle-?cosse et de Pr?sident de la Soci?t? statistique du Canada. ?

Thomson*, Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen?s University, Kingston is the 2013 recipient of the Award for Impact of Applied and Collaborative Work. Professor Thomson receives his award at University of Alberta, Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. The award recognizes outstanding contributions by members of the SSC in collaborative research and applied work, the importance of which derives primarily from its relatively recent impact on a subject area outside of the statistical sciences, on an area of application, or on an organization. David was born on 1942 in St. John, New Brunswick. He attended Acadia University in Wolfville, obtaining a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mathematics and Physics in 1965. Soon after, he moved south to New Jersey, having been hired by Bell Telephone Laboratories into a development division, and to take part in their Graduate Study Program. Accordingly, through this program David completed an MS (1967) and a PhD (1971) in Electrical Engineering, both degrees granted by Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute (now part of NYU), while completing a set of internal courses on topics so new that textbooks did not yet exist. When David originally joined Bell Labs, he was placed in the ?Outside Plant? division, which was concerned with elements of telecommunications networks that are placed outside. This included long-line transmission systems, and from 1966 to 1977, while simultaneously working on his graduate degrees, David was involved with the WT4 Millimeter Waveguide Project, a work that was seminal in his eventual discovery and publication of the multitaper method of spectrum estimation. Following the conclusion of the WT4 project, David spent 1977 through 1984 on a team involved with the development of the first commercial cellular phone systems. As part of this work, David was awarded five of his eventual 27 patents. During this time, he was also promoted to Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, at the time the highest possible title at Bell Labs for a scientist or engineer. In parallel with his work on cellular phone systems, David found time to write his best-known statistical work, the 1982 paper entitled Spectrum Estimation and Harmonic Analysis, published in the Proceedings of the IEEE. This paper has received over 1900 external citations, and has been highly influential in the related fields of geophysics, seismology, helioseismology and sig-nal processing. The key accomplishment of this paper was to explain why multiple data tapers are needed for spectrum estimation. This work gave a consistent estimator for power spectra and practical tools for harmonic analysis. Multitaper anal-ysis converted spectrum estimation from something in the realm of ?black magic? to a rigorous scientific tool, correcting problems that had been known as far back as Lord Rayleigh and Sir F. Arthur Schuster in the late 1800s. In 1983 David moved to the Mathematics of Communications Department within the mathematics research area of Bell Labs. He was fortunate enough to have a position that allowed tremendous flexibility in his choice of research, and from 1984 to 2000 David worked on projects in the areas of digital signal processing, robust statistics, electrical engineering circuit design, phase tracking and time delay problems, communications satellite failure analysis, magnetotellurics, and externally (to Bell Labs) inspired fields of seismology, paleoclimatology, gravitational lensing (astrophysics) and medicine. David was recruited by Queen?s University in 2001, and since then has been a Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Statistics and Signal Processing in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. In his 11 years with Queen?s, he has supervised 10 MSc and eight PhD students, and has seven additional students at various stages of their studies. Through his career at Bell Labs and Queen?s University, David authored or co-authored 130 peer-reviewed journal papers or conference proceedings, wrote over 300 technical reports, has been granted 27 patents, contributed 15 book chapters, and has received many thousands of citations. David has also received a number of honours in his long career. He was a Green Scholar at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UCSD, 1983), a Steinbeck Visiting Scholar at the Wood?s Hole Oceanographic Institute (1985), a Visiting Professor at Princeton (Statistics, 1993), an Adjunct Professor at Scripps (UCSD, 1993?1998), a Visiting Professor at Stanford (Statistics, 1996) and a Houghton Lecturer (MIT, 1996). He has also served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (1984?1990), Chair for the Signals and Systems panel of the Commission C of URSI (1991?1999), Associate Editor for Radio Science (1996?2000) and was on the Panel on Physical Sciences (National Research Council, US Army Research Labs, 1997?2000). He has been elected as a Fellow of the IEEE (1991), as a Chartered Statistician (Royal Statistical Society, 1993), a Killam Fellow (Canada Council for the Arts, 2009?2011), a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2010), and is a Professional Engineer (PEO). Since 2008 he has also been a member of the Space and Atmospheric Advisory Committee (SAEAC) for the Canadian Space Agency. The Impact Award was given to David both for his creation of the multitaper spectrum estimator and its subsequent application of the associated theory to a multitude of scientific and technological problems. The technological applications of the multitaper method are myriad, including applications in Nuclear Test Ban Treaty verification, and ensuring accuracy of touch-tone phone signals against noisy backgrounds (for which several patents were granted). In science, David has contributed in significant ways to climatology, geophysics, and space and solar physics through detailed statistical analysis of large-scale time series data sets. His 1990 Nature and 1995 Science papers were the first statistical analyses of climate data that conclusively showed a relationship between global temperature and atmospheric CO2, and have been key contributors to further discussions about global warming. Since 1990 David has tirelessly pursued a two-decade-long work exploring data series from a number of spacecraft (especially, but not limited to, the Ulysses project, on which he was Co-Investigator) and has had a profound impact on our understanding of interplanetary magnetic fields and the Sun. His recent discovery of the existence in numerous scientific data sets of signatures of buoyancy (g-) modes that are theorized to exist in the Sun is contributing to a strong change in scientific understanding of the structure of the Sun, its magnetic fields, and their relationship to our climate and environment on Earth. Finally, David also contributed to robustness and improved error bounds in the magnetotelluric method, a geophysical technique that measures magnetic and electric fields on the Earth?s surface (especially the seafloor) and uses these measurements to determine electrical conductivity. From a statistical point of view, this problem can be viewed as regression with complex predictors and response, with the predictors being highly collinear and both the predictors and response being often contaminated by outliers. The magnetotelluric method has become standard in the field of geophysics, and is an important tool for scientists working to understand the structure of the sub-surface of the Earth. David currently lives in Kingston, Ontario with his wife, Maja-Lisa, and their two cats, Loki and Selkit. They have two grown children and one grandson, and in his spare time David enjoys woodworking, reading about history and attending classical music performances. His love of the last, especially chamber music, produces both relaxation and inspires his creativity. David will deliver the SSC Impact Award Address at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the SSC. The citation for the award reads: ?To David J. Thomson, in recognition of his creation of the multitaper spectrum estimator, and its subsequent application to the related fields of geophysics, climatology and helioseismology; especially in connection with his discovery of the existence of solar g-mode signatures in scientific data.?

Thomson* du D?partement de math?matiques et de statistique de l?Universit? Queens ? Kingston est le r?cipiendaire 2013 de son prix pour l?impact du travail collaboratif et appliqu?. Le professeur Thomson a re?u son prix ? la University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB), o? plus de 500 statisticiens participent au 41e congr?s annuel de la Soci?t?. Ce prix salue les contributions exceptionnelles de membres de la SSC ? des travaux de recherche de nature appliqu?e r?alis?s en collaboration, dont l?importance d?coule principalement de leur impact relativement r?cent sur un organisme ou dans un domaine du savoir autre que la statistique. David est n? en 1942 ? Saint-Jean (Nouveau-Brunswick). Il a ?tudi? ? la Acadia University ? Wolfville ; il a obtenu son baccalaur?at ?s sciences sp?cialis? en math?matiques et en physique en 1965. Peu de temps apr?s, il a d?m?nag? dans le New Jersey, ayant ?t? recrut? par la Division du d?veloppement de Bell Telephone Laboratories en vue de participer ? leur programme d??tudes de cycle sup?rieur. Il a ainsi compl?t? une ma?trise (1967) et un doctorat (1971) en g?nie ?lectrique au Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute (qui fait aujourd?hui partie de NYU), tout en suivant des cours maison sur des sujets si neufs qu?il n?existait encore aucun manuel ? leur sujet. Lorsque David s?est joint ? Bell Labs, il a d?abord ?t? affect? ? la division du ? r?seau ext?rieur ?, qui travaillait sur les ?l?ments ext?rieurs des r?seaux de t?l?communications, dont les longs syst?mes de transmission. De 1966 ? 1977, tout en poursuivant ses ?tudes, David a contribu? au projet WT4 de guides d?ondes millim?triques, un projet qui a inspir? sa d?couverte puis sa publication de la m?thode ? multitaper ? d?estimation spectrale. Apr?s la conclusion du projet WT4, David a travaill? de 1977 ? 1984 au sein d?une ?quipe participant au d?veloppement des premiers syst?mes de t?l?phones cellulaires commerciaux. C?est dans le cadre de ces activit?s que David a obtenu cinq de ses 27 brevets. Pendant cette p?riode, il a aussi ?t? promu Membre distingu? du personnel technique, titre r?serv? ? l??poque aux meilleurs scientifiques et ing?nieurs de Bell Labs. En parall?le ? ses travaux sur les syst?mes de t?l?phonie cellulaire, David a trouv? le temps de r?diger son ouvrage le plus connu, un article intitul? Spectrum Estimation and Harmonic Analysis, publi? en 1982 dans les Proceedings of the IEEE. Cet article, qui a ?t? cit? plus de 1900 fois, a eu une tr?s grande influence dans les domaines connexes de la g?ophysique, de la sismologie, de l?h?liosismologie et du traitement des signaux. Le r?sultat crucial de l?article motive l?emploi de plusieurs ? tapers ? (ou fen?tres de pond?ration) pour l?estimation spectrale. Il fournit un estimateur convergent pour les spectres de puissance et des outils pratiques pour l?analyse harmonique. L?analyse ? multitaper ? a permis de transformer l?estimation spectrale, jadis per?ue comme de la ? magie noire ?, en un outil scientifique rigoureux, corrigeant des probl?mes qui dataient des travaux de Lord Rayleigh et Sir F. Arthur Schuster ? la fin du 19e si?cle. En 1983 David a ?t? mut? au D?partement de math?matiques des communications du Service de recherches en math?matiques de Bell Labs. Heureusement pour lui, son poste lui accordait une grande libert? au plan de la recherche ; c?est ainsi qu?entre 1984 et 2000, il a pu participer ? des projets en traitement des signaux num?riques, en statistique robuste et en conception de circuits (g?nie ?lectrique) ; il a aussi r?solu des probl?mes de rep?rage de phase et de d?lais, d?analyse des pannes de communication par satellite, de magn?totellurique et, en dehors de Bell Labs, de sismologie, de pal?oclimatologie, de lentilles gravitationnelles (astrophysique) et de m?decine. David a ?t? recrut? par la Queen?s University en 2001, o? il travaille depuis ? titre de professeur et Chaire de recherche du Canada (niveau 1) en statistique et traitement des signaux au D?partement de math?matiques et de statistique. Durant ses 11 ann?es ? Queen?s, il a encadr? 10 ?tudiants ? la ma?trise et huit ?tudiants au doctorat ; il supervise actuellement sept autres ?tudiants ? divers stades de leurs ?tudes. Pendant sa carri?re chez Bell Labs et ? Queen?s, David a r?dig? ou cor?dig? 130 articles pour des revues ? comit? de lecture ou des actes de congr?s et plus de 300 rapports techniques ; il s?est aussi vu octroyer 27 brevets, a ?crit 15 chapitres pour des ouvrages et a ?t? cit? des milliers de fois. En outre, David a re?u de nombreux honneurs tout au long de sa carri?re. Il a ?t? chercheur Green ? l?Institut d?oc?anographie Scripps (UCSD, 1983), chercheur invit? Steinbeck ? l?Institut oc?anographique de Wood?s Hole (1985), professeur invit? ? Princeton (statistique, 1993), professeur associ? ? Scripps (UCSD, 1993?1998), professeur invit? ? Stanford (statistique, 1996) et conf?rencier Houghton (MIT, 1996). Il a ?galement ?t? membre du Comit? de r?daction de IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (1984?1990), pr?sident du panel Signaux et syst?mes de la Commission C de l?URSI (1991?1999), r?dacteur adjoint de Radio Science (1996?2000) et membre du Panel des sciences physiques (National Research Council, US Army Research Labs, 1997?2000). Il est membre ?lu de l?IEEE (1991), statisticien agr?? (Royal Statistical Society, 1993) et a ?t? boursier Killam (Conseil des arts du Canada, 2009?2011) ; il est membre de la Soci?t? royale du Canada (2010) et ing?nieur professionnel (PEO). Depuis 2008 il est ?galement membre du Comit? consultatif des environnements spatial et atmosph?rique (SAEAC) de l?Agence spatiale canadienne. Le Prix pour l?impact est d?cern? ? David ? la fois pour l?invention de l?estimation spectrale de type ? multitaper ? et l?application ult?rieure de la th?orie associ?e ? de multiples probl?mes scientifiques et technologiques. Ces derni?res sont innombrables, notamment dans les domaines de la v?rification du Trait? d?interdiction compl?te des essais nucl?aires et de la pr?cision des signaux de t?l?phone ? tonalit? en pr?sence de parasites (domaines pour lesquels plusieurs brevets lui ont ?t? accord?s). En science, David a largement contribu? ? la climatologie, la g?ophysique et la physique spatiale et solaire gr?ce ? ses analyses statistiques d?taill?es de s?ries chronologiques ? grande ?chelle. Ses articles dans Nature (1990) et Science (1995) constituent les premi?res analyses statistiques de donn?es climatiques qui montrent de mani?re concluante une relation entre la temp?rature mondiale et le CO2 atmosph?rique ; ils ont contribu? de mani?re essentielle au d?bat sur le r?chauffement climatique. Depuis 1990, David poursuit inlassablement son exploration de s?ries chronologiques provenant de plusieurs v?hicules spatiaux (dans le cadre, notamment, du projet Ulysses, dont il est l?un des co-enqu?teurs) et il a eu un profond impact sur notre compr?hension des champs magn?tiques interplan?taires et du Soleil. Sa r?cente d?couverte de la pr?sence, dans de nombreux ensembles de donn?es, de signatures de modes de ballottement (gravit?) dont on soup?onne l?existence dans le Soleil, a contribu? ? une meilleure compr?hension scientifique de la structure du Soleil et de ses champs magn?tiques et de leurs relations avec le climat et l?environnement sur la Terre. Enfin, David a ?galement contribu? ? l??tude de la robustesse et ? l?am?lioration des limites d?erreur dans la m?thode magn?totellurique, une technique g?ophysique qui permet de mesurer les champs magn?tiques et ?lectriques ? la surface de la Terre (notamment sur le fond oc?anique) et d?utiliser ces mesures pour d?terminer la conductivit? ?lectrique. D?un point de vue statistique, ce probl?me peut ?tre consid?r? comme une r?gression avec des variables exog?nes et endog?nes complexes dans laquelle les variables explicatives sont hautement colin?aires et toutes les variables peuvent contenir des donn?es aberrantes. La m?thode magn?totellurique est maintenant la norme en g?ophysique et constitue un outil important pour les chercheurs qui essaient de comprendre la structure du sous-sol terrestre. David vit actuellement ? Kingston (Ontario) avec son ?pouse Maja-Lisa et leurs deux chats, Loki et Selkit. Ils ont deux enfants et un petit-fils ; dans ses temps libres, David aime travailler le bois, lire des livres d?histoire et assister ? des concerts de musique classique. Son appr?ciation de la musique de chambre l?aide ? se d?tendre et stimule sa cr?ativit?. Le professeur David J. Thomson pr?sentera l?allocution du Prix pour impact de la SSC lors du congr?s annuel 2014 de la Soci?t?. La citation pour le prix se lit comme suit : ? ? David K. Thompson, en reconnaissance de sa cr?ation de l?estimation spectrale de type ? multitaper ? et de ses applications dans des domaines connexes tels la g?ophysique, la climatologie et l?h?liosismologie ; notamment dans le cadre de sa d?couverte de l?existence de signatures de modes de gravit? solaire dans les donn?es scientifiques. ?

He has two brothers and a sister, and two wonderful daughters, Linzy and Linn and boasts that his wife, Annamma, is an exquisite cook and a creative quilter. After graduation, he taught in a college in Kerala and refined his teaching skills in Cape Coast, Ghana, preparing students for the A-Level examinations of the University of London. By coincidence, while he was in Ghana, a coup overthrowing the government of Nkrumah occurred. Bovas continues to deny any involvement. A happier coup occurred in the same period when he married Annamma in 1967 while on vacation in Kerala. Bovas obtained his MSc from the University of Guelph in 1971 and his PhD in 1975 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, under the supervision of George Box. After spending two years at Dalhousie University he moved to Waterloo. He has been a faculty member at the University of Waterloo in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science since 1977.

Prof. Rosenthal received his award at University of Alberta, Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. The Gold Medal is awarded to a person who has made outstanding contributions to statistics, or to probability, either to mathematical developments or in applied work. Consider the following remarkable existence problem: there exists a Canadian statistician, part-time comedian, musician, born on Friday the thirteenth during the Canadian Centennial, who is quoted in the New York Times, who has appeared in Cadbury milk chocolate commercials, on William Shatner?s television program ?Weird or What??, on CBC television?s ?The Fifth Estate?, and whose day job involves winning awards both for research and teaching and writing best-selling books. Professor Jeffrey Rosenthal, of the Department of Statistics at the University of Toronto, demonstrates the existence of a solution to this problem, and his monumental achievements seem to guarantee uniqueness for decades to come. The son of mathematical parents in Scarborough, Ontario, Jeffrey graduated from Woburn Collegiate in 1984, from the BSc program in Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science at the University of Toronto in 1988, and with a PhD in Mathematics from Harvard University under the supervision of Persi Diaconis in 1992. Since 1993, Jeff has been on faculty in the Department of Statistics at the University of Toronto. His research areas are probability theory, stochastic processes, and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, with applications to statistics and to interdisciplinary applications of statistics. His research has had a profound influence on the fields of probability and statistics, and his writings and many public appearances on the public understanding of probability and its applications. He has made fundamental contributions to the Markov chain theory and to the convergence analysis of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. His introduction of the ?minorization conditions? in his influential 1993 JASA publication has a far-reaching impact and is widely cited. Jeff?s exemplifications of how to obtain a practical convergence, found in both this 1993 JASA and his 1992 Annals of Statistics articles, have become a standard practice for researchers to prove convergence of a MCMC algorithm. Jeff?s research interest is extremely broad and his contributions also range broadly, including slice sampler, convergence diagnostics, exact/perfect sampling, MCMC algorithm design, regeneration, and adaptive MCMC. A central theme of Jeff?s contribution is to obtain practical and useful theoretical results, for example accurate quantitative bounds, conditions for geometric convergence, practical perfect sampling, etc. Jeff was named a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 2005, received the CRM-SSC prize in 2006, and in 2007 was awarded the prestigious Presidents? Award from the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS award). He was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada in 2012. Jeff?s book for the general public, Struck by Lightning: The Curious World of Probabilities, is being published in sixteen editions and ten languages, and was a bestseller in Canada. It led to numerous media and public appearances. Jeff has also published two textbooks about probability theory, and over ninety refereed research papers. Jeff has contributed to probability and statistics in Canada and internationally in every corner of the spectrum, from the mathematical depth of his research in probability, his attention to applications, to the public understanding of risk and the role of probability and statistics in everyday life. The citation for the award reads: ?To Jeffrey Rosenthal, for pioneering research in the probabilistic analysis of convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, randomised computer algorithms and diverse interdisciplinary applications of statistics. For excellence in education and his many contributions to statistical literacy in Canada and beyond.?

Le professeur Rosenthal a re?u son prix ? la University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB), o? plus de 500 statisticiens participent au 41e congr?s annuel de la Soci?t?. La M?daille d?or est octroy?e ? une personne qui a contribu? de fa?on remarquable ? la statistique ou ? la th?orie des probabilit?s gr?ce ? des d?veloppements math?matiques ou ? des applications. Examinons le remarquable probl?me d?existence suivant : Soit un statisticien canadien, com?dien ? temps partiel, musicien, n? un vendredi 13 l?ann?e du centenaire de la conf?d?ration canadienne, cit? ? plusieurs reprises dans le New York Times, ayant figur? dans des publicit?s pour le chocolat au lait Cadbury, ? l??mission t?l?vis?e de William Shatner ? Weird or What? ? et ? ? The Fifth Estate ? sur CBC, et dont le travail quotidien inclut l?obtention de prix en recherche et en enseignement, ainsi que la publication de livres ? succ?s. Le professeur Jeffrey Rosenthal du D?partement de statistique de la University of Toronto constitue une preuve vivante de l?existence d?une solution ? ce probl?me et ses remarquables r?sultats semblent en garantir l?unicit? pour des d?cennies ? venir. N? de parents math?maticiens ? Scarborough (Ontario), Jeffrey a obtenu un premier dipl?me du Woburn Collegiate en 1984, un baccalaur?at en math?matiques, en physique et en informatique de la Universit? of Toronto en 1988, ainsi qu?un doctorat en math?matiques de Harvard sous la direction de Persi Diaconis en 1992. Depuis 1993, Jeff enseigne au D?partement de statistique de la University of Toronto. Ses travaux de recherche portent sur la th?orie des probabilit?s, les processus stochastiques et les algorithmes de Monte-Carlo par cha?nes de Markov (MCMC), ainsi que leurs applications en statistique et dans d?autres disciplines. Ses recherches ont eu une profonde influence en probabilit? et en statistique ; de plus, ses articles et pr?sentations ont largement contribu? ? sensibiliser le grand public ? la th?orie des probabilit?s et ? ses applications.

Prof. Reid received her award at University of Alberta, Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. The Distinguished Service Award is intended to honour a person who contributed substantially and over a period of several years to the operation or welfare of the SSC. Nancy Reid is University Professor and Canada Research Chair in Statistical Methodology at the University of Toronto. She received her BMath degree from the University of Waterloo in 1974 with a major in Statistics, her MSc in Statistics from the University of British Columbia in 1976, and her PhD from Stanford University under the supervision of R.G. Miller. Nancy returned to Canada in 1980 as an Assistant Professor at UBC, moving to the University of Toronto in 1986, where she has been ever since. She has served on the scientific advisory panels of the National Program on Complex Data Structures, the Centre de recherches math?matiques, the Fields Institute for Research in the Mathematical Sciences, the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences, and the Banff International Research Station. She served as Chair of the Statistics Department at the University of Toronto. She has served the Statistical Society of Canada in many roles, as Society President, Chair of the Awards Committee, and Editor of The Canadian Journal of Statistics, as well as local organiser of the 1983 Annual Meeting. She has served the statistical sciences in many other capacities as well: as President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Vice-President of the International Statistical Institute, Associate Editor of The Annals of Statistics, Statistical Science, Biometrika, and of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, among others. Her service to the scientific community through involvement in NSERC has been constant: on NSERC Council, Chair of the NSERC Liaison Committee for Statistical Sciences and most recently Chair of the Steering Committee for the Long Range Plan for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Research in Canada. In 1992 Nancy became the first woman to receive the Presidents? Award of the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS), awarded annually to a young statistician in recognition of outstanding contributions to the profession of statistics. In 1995 she presented the first Canadian Mathematical Society Prize-Lectureship for distinguished research by women in mathematics, now known as the Krieger-Nelson Prize Lectureship. In 2000 she was invited to give the Wald lectures at the Annual Meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. She received a 2003 Faculty of Mathematics Alumni Achievement Medal from the University of Waterloo ?for her internationally recognized research accomplishments in the field of statistics, and for her outstanding contributions to university education and professional societies.? In 2008 she received the Emanuel and Carol Parzen Prize for Statistical Innovation from the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University. In 2009 she received the Statistical Society of Canada?s Gold Medal. Nancy?s research has had a profound influence on statistical theory, likelihood inference, and design of studies. Along with her colleagues she has developed higher order asymptotic methods both for use in applications, and as a means to study theoretical aspects of the foundations of inference, including the interface between Bayesian and frequentist methods. She is interested in a number of substantive areas, including inference from large-scale surveys, environmental epidemiology, and high-energy physics. In 1987, her paper with Sir David Cox on orthogonal parameters and approximate conditional inference was read to the Royal Statistical Society. This very important contribution to the fabric of statistical theory introduced the ?Cox?Reid likelihood?, still a standard method for correcting the likelihood in complex problems. This paper continues to be widely cited, and has led to considerable further research by Nancy and others. She has also developed new methods for obtaining highly accurate inference from the likelihood function, in a joint research program with Professor Emeritus D.A.S. Fraser, O.C. This extends and develops ideas first promoted by Fisher in the 1930s and has led to deeper understanding of the foundations of statistical inference. She has authored over 80 journal publications in statistics as well as four books, including The Theory of the Design of Experiments with Sir David R. Cox (2000) and Applied Asymptotics with Alessandra Brazzale and Anthony Davison (2007). Through her extraordinary dedication, prodigious energy and wisdom, Nancy Reid has been relentless in her support of the statistical sciences in Canada and internationally. The citation for the award reads: ?To Nancy Reid, in recognition of her extraordinary service to the Statistical Society of Canada and to her many contributions to the community of statistical scientists in Canada and internationally at For more information, please visit http://www.ssc.ca/en/award-winners/award-winners-2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Prix pour services insignes 2013* La Soci?t? statistique du Canada a annonc? aujourd?hui qu?elle avait d?cern? son Prix pour services insignes 2013 ? *Nancy Reid*, professeure ? la University of Toronto. La professeure Reid a re?u son prix ? la University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB), o? plus de 500 statisticiens participent au 41e congr?s annuel de la Soci?t?. Le Prix pour services insignes vise ? reconna?tre des contributions significatives au fonctionnement ou au bien-?tre de la SSC sur une p?riode de plusieurs ann?es. Nancy Reid est professeur d?universit? et titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en m?thodologie statistique ? la University of Toronto. Elle d?tient un BMath de la University of Waterloo avec sp?cialisation en statistique (1974), une ma?trise en statistique de la University of British Columbia (1976) et un doctorat de Stanford compl?t? sous la direction de R.G. Miller. Nancy est revenue au Canada en 1980 ? titre de professeur adjoint ? UBC, avant d??tre recrut?e par la University of Toronto en 1986. Elle a ?t? membre du Comit? scientifique du Programme national sur les structures de donn?es complexes, du Centre de recherches math?matiques, de l?Institut Fields de recherche en sciences math?matiques, de l?Institut pacifique pour les sciences math?matiques et de la Station de recherche internationale de Banff. Elle a ?t? directrice du D?partement de statistique de la University of Toronto. Elle a servi la Soci?t? statistique du Canada ? divers titres, dont pr?sidente de la Soci?t?, pr?sidente du Comit? des prix, r?dactrice en chef de La revue canadienne de statistique et responsable de l?organisation mat?rielle du congr?s annuel 1983. Elle a ?galement servi les sciences statistiques ? titre de pr?sidente de l?Institut de statistique math?matique, vice-pr?sidente de l?Institut international de statistique, membre du Comit? de r?daction de The Annals of Statistics, Statistical Science, Biometrika et du Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Elle assure un service constant ? la communaut? scientifique par son engagement au sein du CRSNG : au Conseil du CRSNG, comme pr?sidente du Comit? de liaison du CRSNG en sciences statistiques et plus r?cemment en tant que pr?sidente du Comit? de direction du Plan ? long terme pour les sciences math?matiques et statistiques au Canada. En 1992 Nancy est devenue la premi?re femme ? obtenir le Prix des pr?sidents du COPSS, prix d?cern? chaque ann?e ? un jeune statisticien en reconnaissance de ses contributions exceptionnelles ? la profession statistique. En 1995 elle a pr?sent? la premi?re conf?rence du Prix f?minin de la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada pour la recherche en math?matiques, connu aujourd?hui sous le nom de Prix Krieger-Nelson. En 2000 elle a ?t? invit?e ? pr?senter les conf?rences Wald lors du congr?s annuel de l?Institut de statistique math?matique. En 2003, elle s?est vue d?cerner une m?daille ? Alumni Achievement ? de la Facult? de math?matiques de la University of Waterloo ? pour ses r?alisations mondialement reconnues en mati?re de recherche statistique et pour ses remarquables contributions ? la formation universitaire et aux societies professionnelles. ? En 2008, elle a re?u le Prix Emanuel et Carol Parzen pour l?innovation statistique du D?partement de statistique de la University of Texas A&M. En 2009, la Soci?t? statistique du Canada lui a d?cern? sa m?daille d?or. Les recherches de Nancy ont eu une profonde influence sur la th?orie statistique, l?inf?rence par la vraisemblance et la conception d??tudes. Avec ses coll?gues, elle a mis au point des m?thodes asymptotiques d?ordre sup?rieur tant aux fins d?application que pour l??tude des aspects th?oriques des fondements de l?inf?rence, et notamment l?interface entre les m?thodes bay?siennes et fr?quentistes. Elle s?int?resse ? plusieurs domaines, dont l?inf?rence dans les ?tudes ? grande ?chelle, l??pid?miologie environnementale et la physique des hautes ?nergies. En 1987, son article avec Sir David Cox sur les param?tres orthogonaux et l?inf?rence conditionnelle approximative a ?t? lu devant la Royal Statistical Society. Cette contribution d?une grande importance ? la th?orie statistique a consacr? la ? vraisemblance de Cox?Reid ?, qui demeure aujourd?hui l?une des m?thodes standard pour corriger la vraisemblance dans les probl?mes complexes. L?article est encore largement cit? et a donn? lieu ? de nombreuses autres recherches par Nancy et d?autres. Elle a ?galement mis au point de nouvelles m?thodes permettant d?obtenir une inf?rence extr?mement pr?cise ? partir de la fonction de vraisemblance, dans le cadre d?un programme conjoint de recherches avec le professeur ?m?rite D.A.S.

From clare at pims.math.ca Thu Jun 20 15:41:58 2013 From: clare at pims.math.ca (Kiernan, Clare) Date: Fri Jun 21 13:36:21 2013 Subject: [cmath] CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize Lecture: Bruce Reed on July 18 at PIMS-SFU Message-ID: ---------------------------------------------------- CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize Lecture: Bruce Reed Bruce Reed, McGill University and the National Institute of Informatics, Japan, will deliver a talk entitled, "Some 21st Century Results in Graph Theory." The lecture will take place on July 18, 2013 at the Simon Fraser University. Abstract: A graph is a set of vertices and a set of edges, each of which links a pair of vertices. Thus, graphs may abstractly represent the highways (edges) linking a set of cities (vertices), the bridges linking the islands of an archipelago, or the flights linking airports. However, the use of graphs as models extends far beyond transport networks. The edges can represent bonds between molecules, hyperlinks between webpages, or acquaintanceship in a social network. Indeed, the connections in any network, whether physical or conceptual, can be modeled in this way. Hilbert in his famous 1900 talk, The Problems of Mathematics, noted: "History teaches the continuity of the development of science. We know that every age has its own problems, which the following age either solves or casts aside as profitless and replaces by new ones." This is as true in graph theory as in any other area of mathematics. The development of graph theory has been profoundly marked by the advent of the information age. This has led to explosive growth in the size of the networks that can be studied and to the development of techniques that allow us to study huge networks. The talk will briefly survey the changes that have occurred and then focus on a number of quite diverse techniques for handling huge networks, all of which allow us to deduce global properties of a network via an analysis of its local structure. Examples will include the application of the probabilistic method to graph colouring and of structural decomposition to the theory of graph minors. The talk is aimed at a general audience and no knowledge of graph theory is assumed. Bio: Bruce Reed received his degrees in Mathematics and in Computer Science at McGill University. Following postdoctoral fellowships and faculty positions in Europe, Canada and the USA, he joined the faculty of McGill University in 2001: he currently holds the Canada Research Chair in Graph Theory and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2009. He has played a leading role in a broad range of research areas in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. He is best known for his work on areas within graph theory, with many of his most important contributions being in random structures, graph minors, and graph colouring.

Tipping points are difficult to predict and difficult to reverse. Examples range from capsizing boats to fishery collapse; they include financial market crashes, the poverty trap, melting polar ice caps, shifts in ecosystems, and mood changes. A mathematical framework for understanding how tipping points can arise as bifurcations has long been in place. Pressing sustainability questions are now placing the study of tipping points in the context of policy decision support, and driving efforts to explore the interaction between tipping and stochasticity in noisy systems. Can we extract, from measurements, indicators of resilience to tipping and early warning signals for proximity to a tipping point? We will introduce the bifurcation framework and discuss these questions in the context of applications to climate and biology. *Biography* Mary Lou Zeeman is the Wells Johnson Professor of Mathematics at Bowdoin College.

Paris-Dauphine, will deliver a two-part lecture entitled, " Mathematics and the Planet Earth: a Long Life Together." The lecture will take place on July 15 and 17, 2013 at The University of British Columbia. Abstract: When Columbus left Spain in 1492, sailing west, he knew that the Earth was round and was expecting to land in Japan. Seventeen centuries earlier, around 200 BC, Eratosthenes had shown that its circumference was 40,000 km, just by a smart use of mathematics, without leaving his home town of Alexandria. Since then, we have learned much more about Earth: it is a planet, it has an inner structure, it carries life, and at every step mathematics have been a crucial tool of discovery and understanding. Nowadays, concerns about the human footprint and climate change force us to bring all this knowledge to bear on the global problems facing us. This is the last challenge for mathematics: can we control change? This two-part lecture investigates how our idea of the world has influenced the development of mathematics. In the first lecture on July 15, I will describe the situation up to the twentieth century, in the second one on July 17 I will follow up to the present time and the global challenges humanity and the planet are facing today. Bio: Ivar Ekeland was director of PIMS for the period 2003-2008. He is a former President of Universit? Paris-Dauphine, and held the Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Economics at the University of British Columbia until his retirement in 2011. He is the founding editor of the "Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincar?-Analyse non lin?aire" and is currently Editor in Chief of "Mathematics and Financial Economics." He has also written numerous books and papers in mathematics, economics and finance, and is also a regular contributor to the journal "Nature" as well as to the magazine "Pour la Science." He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Ekeland's contributions to Mathematics include fundamental results in Convex and Non-linear Analysis, Control Theory, Hamiltonian Mechanics, Symplectic Geometry, Mathematical Economics and Finance.

The url is at the end of this message which gives some bacground. LIQUIDATION OF RAN (Russian Academy of Sciences) 1. Background on the Crisis A motion is proceeding through the Duma (the Russian Parliament) that, if passed, will fundamentally alter the functioning of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN). Below are some quotations from the project of the law that show that the Russian government plans to liquidate the current Russian academy of sciences and create a new ?Russian academy of sciences?. Article 19 is entitled ? Stopping the functioning of Russian academy of sciences ?. It proposes that the Russian Government form a committee for the liquidation of RAN (quoted from Article 19). The RF (Russian Federation) Government will analyze the activity of the institutions now subordinate to RAN. Some of them will become subordinate to federal institutions, some will be liquidated (from Article 19.7, shortened). After the registration of ?Russian academy of sciences?, the liquidation of RAN will proceed (Commentary to the law). 2. NEXT STEP OF THE LIQUIDATION The state Duma approved the law in the first two readings (July 2013), and then made a break for vacation. At the end of August, it will discuss the law for the third time. If it is approved in the third reading, the law will be accepted, and the liquidation of RAN will start. 3. What Can Be Done? Letters from the world scientific community that advocate preserving the existing RAN may prevent the approval of the ?liquidation law?, provided that the letters are signed by influential members of the community, and that the total number of signatures is large. A reference to a circulating letter of this kind is at http://save-russian-academy.org/ In order to sign the letter, you may click the reference above. The letter will appear. Below it there is a button ?sign?.

According to Nowak, many problems that challenge us today can be traced back to a tension between what is good and desirable for society as a whole and what is good and desirable for an individual. This conflict is illustrated in global problems such as climate change, pollution, hunger, and overpopulation. Nowak argues that cooperation?not competition?is the key to the evolution of complexity. BIOGRAPHIE / BIOGRAPHY: Martin A. Nowak is Professor of Biology and Mathematics at Harvard University and Director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. He works on the mathematical description of evolutionary processes, including the evolution of cooperation and human language, as well as the dynamics of virus infections and human cancer. His major scientific contributions and discoveries include: the mechanism of HIV disease progression; the rapid turnover and evolution of drug resistance in HIV infection; quantifying the dynamics of HBV infection; the evolution of virulence under superinfection and coinfection; the role of chromosomal instability in human cancer; quantifying the dynamics of chronic myeloid leukemia; the accumulation of drivers and passengers in cancer progression; the evolution of drug resistance in targeted cancer therapy; the mechanisms for the evolution of genetic redundancy; "generous tit-for-tat" and "win-stay, lose-shift"; the alternating Prisoner's Dilemma; the evolution of cooperation by indirect reciprocity; spatial game dynamics; adaptive dynamics; evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations; evolutionary graph theory; the five mechanisms for the evolution of cooperation; the evolution of eusociality by natural selection; a mathematical approach for studying the evolution of human language; the dynamics of language regularization; culturomics; "winners don't punish"; prelife; and the origin of evolution. a Clay Senior Scholar for the Thematic Semester in Biodiversity and Evolution.

Eusociality is rare but hugely successful: only about 2% of insect species are eusocial, but they represent 50% of insect biomass. I will present a theory for the origin of eusociality. In the solitary life style all offspring leave to reproduce. In the eusocial life style some offspring stay and help raise further offspring. A standard natural selection analysis determines which of those two reproductive strategies wins for a given ecology. The model makes simple and testable predictions. I will also discuss the limitations of inclusive fitness theory showing that it is a particular accounting method that can be used in special cases, but not in general. Inclusive fitness is to a large extent a conceptual mistake that arises from the unsuccessful attempt to find a universal maximization principle in evolution.

Details can be found below or on our website: http://www.aarms.math.ca/pdf Eligibility and place of tenure AARMS postdoctoral fellowships are awarded, on the recommendation of its Scientific Review Panel (SRP), to beginning researchers who received their PhD no more than four years before applying. Applications will be considered from those who anticipate receiving their PhD before the proposed start time of the fellowship, however the PhD must be in hand before actually beginning the fellowship. AARMS will provide $17,500 per year for the fellowship and the supervisor is responsible for organizing matching funds of at least this amount It is typically expected that the proposed supervisor will not be the same person as the applicant's PhD supervisor, and that the proposed Postdoctoral Fellowship will be at a different university than the one at which the PhD was awarded. The proposed supervisor must be a full-time tenure track or tenured faculty member at a university in Atlantic Canada. Duration Normally two years. Funding for the second year is dependent upon satisfactory performance demonstrated in the detailed progress report submitted by the supervisor(s). Application Applicants are required to establish a relationship with a prospective supervisor before applying to AARMS, and to have a tentative agreement from that supervisor to make a joint application to this program. This program is not a service for matching applicants with supervisors. Applications should be made by the candidate through the PDF Application page found through the Online Services link in our menu.The application should include: * CV (in pdf format) * Research Proposal: a detailed description of the research area and the research to be carried out during the tenure of the fellowship as well as a description of how the candidate would interact with the supervisor(s). (also in pdf format) * Name(s) and email address(es) of proposed supervisor(s) * Names and email addresses of two referees After their name(s) and email addresse(s) have been entered by the applicant, the proposed supervisor(s) will receive an automated message from the system, giving them access to the application, and requesting the submission of the following materials: * A written reference. * A list of the exact sources of matching funding (NSERC or other grant(s), department(s), ...); to be typed directly into the web form provided. If there are more than one intended supervisors only one needs to submit this financial information. The proposed referees will also receive an automated message from the system, giving them access to the application, and requesting the submission of a written reference. Referees should be persons who are familiar with the candidate's work and can comment on their suitability for an AARMS postdoctoral fellowship. Assessment Applications will be reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel, who will make a recommendation to the Director. Timetable * *December 13* - Application deadline. * *December 20* - Deadline for supervisor contribution. * *February 1* - Deadline for the assessment phase. Initial offers on Postdoctoral fellowships are made within the next few weeks. The department/university offered an award is requested to provide to AARMS a signed "funding package", showing the annual contributions by the supervisor(s), the department, and the university. Their amount has at least to match the AARMS contribution of $17,500 and may require that the fellowship holder teach up to one class each term (including spring/summer sessions). If an offer is declined AARMS reserves the right to either offer or to refrain from offering a fellowship to the next candidate in the ranking. If a successful candidate has also been offered an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship it is permitted to accept the AARMS award as well. In this case AARMS will contribute $7,500 per year on top of the NSERC award. No matching fees will be required from the supervisor(s). * *June 30* - Deadline for reports from supervisors of renewing PDFs. The supervisor must submit a detailed progress report, outlining the research work and listing publications, talks, etc. Electronic copies of all publications must be submitted to AARMS for archival purposes. The PDF is also expected to acknowledge the support of AARMS in their publications. * *August 31* - Latest possible termination date for the second year of a PDF. * *September 1* - Start time for the fellowship. AARMS will transfer $8,750 (first half of the annual amount) during the month when the PDF starts his programme, and the same amount six months later. This is done upon receipt of a formal invoice from the hosting department/university. It is acceptable for the start of a fellowship to be delayed up until December 1, but funding will be reduced proportionate to the delay. This reduction will be reconciled in the second year of funding.

It was originally instituted by ICTP, the Niels Henrik Abel Memorial Fund, and the International Mathematical Union (IMU). The participation of the Abel Fund ended in 2012; the 2013 Prize was jointly funded and administered by ICTP and the IMU. This will continue to be the case in 2014, though alternate sources of funding are being explored. The Ramanujan Prize is usually awarded to one person, but may be shared equally among recipients who have contributed to the same body of work. The Prize is awarded annually to a researcher from a developing country who is less than 45 years of age on 31 December of the year of the award, and who has conducted outstanding research in a developing country. For the details of the nomination please see the attached call. February 1, 2014 is the deadline for nominations. Nominations are to be sent to math@ictp.it. Attached is a PDF file containing the official text of the call for nominations. The call can also be found at http://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/. -------------- next part -------------- Skipped content of type multipart/mixed From studc-announcements at cms.math.ca Mon Nov 18 11:39:47 2013 From: studc-announcements at cms.math.ca (Canadian Mathematical Society Student Committee (CMS Studc)) Date: Mon Nov 18 11:41:54 2013 Subject: [cmath] Student Workshops - Intermediate LaTeX and CV Writing - 2013 CMS Winter Meeting Message-ID: (Le fran?ais suit le texte ci-dessous) ***** Please distribute widely to your graduate and undergraduate students ***** ***** We apologize for any cross-posting ***** The Student Committee of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS Studc) is organizing two student workshops during the 2013 CMS Winter Meeting at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel (December 6 - December 9): Intermediate LaTeX Tutorial (Friday, December 6, 11:30-12:30, Rideau Room) The workshop is designed to help participants improve the quality and readability of their LaTeX documents.

He has spent his career in Canada, working in the areas of analysis and differential geometry. His interests are far reaching, with the two main directions of his research being in the theory of exterior differential systems and Lie theory, a central area of the geometric analysis of systems of partial differential equations, and the mathematical analysis of general relativity. Prof. Kamran's work on the topic of exterior differential systems has its roots in the foundational insight of E. Cartan, which describes local geometrical objects in terms of systems of differential forms which are invariant under diffeomorphisms and other infinite dimensional Lie (pseudo)group actions. Prof. Kamran's principal contributions have been in the theory of existence of solutions and the classification of infinite dimensional symmetries. His publications on isotropy subgroups of transitive analytic Lie pseudogroups of infinite type are definitive, and involve global elements, such as the cohomology of certain differential complexes, and local, which for example include Malgrange's estimates arising from his proof of the Cartan-Kahler theorem. Prof. Kamran's contributions to the mathematical analysis of the Einstein equations of general relativity are extremely influential as well, in an area that is currently running as a `hot topic'. His work, in a series of important papers with co-authors F. Finster, J. Smoller and S.-T. Yau, addresses the basic question of stability of Lorentzian space-times, something that is fundamental to our understanding of present day cosmology. The key in such questions about nonlinear systems of evolution equations is to understand on a deep level the solution operator for the linearized equations; Prof. Kamran and collaborators have given a systematic treatment of the `black-hole' space-times, namely of the Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions to Einstein's equations. His most recent work addresses the anti-deSitter solutions as the central object of interest in the approach to quantum gravity known as the Anti-deSitter - Conformal Field Theory correspondence. Prof. Kamran has published over 125 scientific articles. In addition he is a superb expositor, and has contributed influential survey articles and monographs. His work is remarkable for its brilliant, original insights, in combination with a deep mathematical culture, representing a wide and varied range of topics of interest. Niky's contributions will have a lasting scientific impact on Canadian mathematics and on the global mathematical community. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Niky Kamran (Universite McGill) Prix CRM - Fields - PIMS 2014 3 Decembre 2013 Les instituts en sciences mathematiques du Canada sont heureux d'annoncer que le Professeur Niky Kamran est le recipiendaire du Prix CRM - Fields - PIMS. L'essentiel de la carriere de Niky Kamran s'est deroule au Canada et il travaille dans les domaines de l'analyse et de la geometrie differentielle. Ses champs d'interet ont une tres grande portee. Les deux principaux axes de sa recherche sont d'une part les systemes differentiels exterieurs et la theorie de Lie, sujet central de l'analyse geometrique des systemes d'equations aux derivees partielles, et d'autre part l'analyse mathematique de la relativite generale. Les travaux de Niky Kamran sur les systemes differentiels exterieurs ont leurs fondements dans ceux d'Elie Cartan ou des objets geometriques locaux sont decrits en termes de formes differentielles qui sont invariantes sous les diffeomorphismes et sous l'action d'autres (pseudo) groupes de Lie de dimension infinie. Les principales contributions de Niky Kamran portent sur l'existence de solutions et la classification des symetries de dimension infinie. Ses publications sur les sous-groupes d'isotropie de pseudogroupes de Lie analytiques et transitifs font autorite et concernent des aspects globaux tels la cohomologie de complexes differentiels et des aspects locaux incluant par exemple les estimes de Malgrange qui decoulent de sa preuve du theoreme de Cartan et Kahler. Les contributions de Niky Kamran a l'analyse mathematique des equations d'Einstein de la relativite generale ont egalement beaucoup d'influence dans un domaine en pleine effervescence. Dans une serie d'articles importants ecrits en collaboration avec F. Finster, J. Smoller et S.-T. Yau, Niky Kamran etudie la stabilite des espaces - temps Lorentziens, un sujet qui est essentiel a l'elaboration de la cosmologie contemporaine. Le point crucial, dans ces examens de systemes d'equations d'evolution non-lineaires, est de bien caracteriser au niveau le plus fondamental l'operateur resolvant pour les equations linearisees. Niky Kamran et ses collaborateurs ont realise une etude systematique des espaces - temps a trous noirs, c'est-a-dire des solutions de Schwarzschild et Kerr pour les equations d'Einstein. Ses travaux les plus recents portent sur les espaces de type anti - deSitter, qui sont au cour de l'approche de la gravitation quantique connue sous le nom de correspondance AdS - CFT. Niky Kamran a publie plus de 125 articles scientifiques. Il est de surcroit un communicateur hors pair et a ecrit des articles de survol et des monographies qui ont eu beaucoup d'impact. Ses travaux se distinguent par leur profondeur et leur originalite et couvrent un large spectre de sujets majeurs; ils demontrent que leur auteur possede une vaste et profonde culture mathematique . Les apports de Niky Kamran laisseront leur marque sur les mathematiques canadiennes et mondiales. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
