Alissa Antle pushes the boundaries of computation to augment the ways we think and learn. Her research aims to make interactive technologies more responsive to children’s needs and developmental abilities and informs theory and design practice. Her interactive technologies have been deployed to facilitate collaborative learning about aboriginal heritage, sustainability and social justice; teach self-regulation to disadvantaged children with anxiety and attentional disorders; and improve learning outcomes for dyslexic children.

Alissa Antle repousse les frontières du calcul afin d’enrichir nos modes de pensée et d’apprentissage. Ses recherches ont pour but de rendre les technologies interactives plus réceptives aux besoins ainsi qu’aux capacités de développement des enfants et de contribuer à la théorie et à la pratique. Ses technologies interactives ont été utilisées afin de faciliter l’apprentissage collaboratif sur le patrimoine, la viabilité ainsi que la justice sociale autochtone, de mettre en pratique l’autorégulation chez les enfants atteints de troubles de l’attention et les enfants défavorisés et d’améliorer les résultats d’apprentissage chez les enfants dyslexiques.

APARICIO, Samuel – Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, The University of British Columbia Samuel Aparicio’s work on the genomes of breast cancers has provided new insights into the tremendous breadth of tumour genetic heterogeneity. The cells within tumours are not identical, and tumours are now best thought of as complex communities of cells composed of genetically distinct cellular sub-populations. Dr. Aparicio’s work has linked this genetic heterogeneity to cancer evolution and recurrence, providing a much-needed explanation for how treatment-resistant cancers may arise.

Les travaux de Samuel Aparicio sur les génomes de cancers du sein a fourni de nouvelles connaissances sur l’immense étendue de la tumeur hétérogénéité génétique. Les cellules dans les tumeurs ne sont pas identiques, et les tumeurs sont maintenant mieux considérées comme des communautés complexes de cellules composées de sous-populations cellulaires génétiquement distinctes. Les travaux du Dr Aparicio ont lié cette hétérogénéité génétique à l’évolution du cancer et de la récurrence, en fournissant une explication plus que nécessaire pour la façon dont les cancers résistant au traitement peuvent survenir.

The focus of Arthur's efforts in recent years has been the trace formula for groups of rank greater than one, which indeed, although he owes a good deal to his predecessors, can properly be called his creation. His first papers on the trace formula for groups of rank one were on the whole a development of ideas of Selberg, but his more recent work takes an entirely different approach, raises the subject to a new level, is chock full of ideas and techniques, and reveals Arthur as the current leader in the study of harmonic analysis on reductive groups and in the purely analytic theory of automorphic forms.
