Gregor Murray is internationally renowned for his contributions to the field of industrial relations and, in particular, how labour market actors and their various power resources determine the conditions under which work takes place in any given context.

Gregor Murray est un chercheur de réputation mondiale qui a permis une compréhension renouvelée du fonctionnement des relations industrielles, en démontrant qu'a l'intérieur d'un contexte économique et social donné, ce sont avant tout les acteurs sociaux et les sources de pouvoir dont ils disposent qui déterminent les conditions dans lesquelles le travail humain s'exécute. ------------------ Gregor Murray is internationally renowned for his contributions to the field of industrial relations. His research explores how, in particular economic and social contexts, labour market actors and their various power resources determine the conditions under which work takes place. His research has helped to identify the practices and institutional forms whereby actors in an increasingly globalized world of work can develop their capacities to ensure both organizational efficiency and equity for workers.

Joan Murray is one of the leading historians of Canadian art. Her books on artists and their work have had the rare distinction of being both critical and popular successes. She is the leading interpreter of the Group of Seven, the main researcher into the life of Tom Thompson and, as director of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ont., a major interpreter of Victorian and twentieth century Canadian art.

M. Ram Murty is a leading expert in the application of analytic mehtods to the study of modular forms and elliptic curves, as well as to other related questions of number theory. He has provided best-possible estimates of the coefficients of modular forms which has been previously obtainable only by use of unproved hypotheses. His work on Artin's conjecture on primitive roots provided the first unconditional evidence for this conjecture. He has made impressive progress towards a complete proof of conjectures of Serre and Lang-Trotter concerning primitive points on elliptic curves.

His outstanding contributions have earned him numerous awards and promises to revolutionize high-speed computing and high-density data storage.

Muralee Murugesu est un pionnière dans le champ toujours croissant des nanomatériaux moléculaires pour les applications électroniques moléculaires. Ses recherches novatrices de renommée internationale ont mené à certains des nano-aimants les plus performants qui soient jusqu’ici et elles ont approfondi notre compréhension des propriétés magnétiques inhérentes d’éléments terrestres rares. Ses contributions incroyables lui ont valu de nombreux prix et promettent de révolutionner l’informatique haute vitesse et le stockage de données à haute densité.

A scientific leader in medical engineering, research, development, and training, his Canadian Artificial Heart Program has already brought scientific recognition and eminence to Canada, with a device that could save thousands of lives. His innovative and visionary work includes advances in non-invasive powering of implanted devices, the reduction of blood clotting, and a revolutionary system for remote patient care and healthcare delivery. Another important undertaking is the Healthwatch, an innovative device for early stage disease detection and prevention. He is an inventor with several international patents and an effective educator having trained more than 200 students, post- doctoral fellows, and residents. He has authored over 200 journal articles, reports, abstracts, book chapters, and books. His scientific endeavors have led to significant funding for medical and clinical engineering research and the creation of over 300 man/years of employment. In summary, Dr. Mussivand is an outstanding scientist and educator, with persuasive talents and innovative vision.

LONG John Myles is a Canada Research Chair in Sociology at the University of Toronto and Visiting Research Scholar at Statistics Canada. He has received major awards in Canada and the U.S. for his contributions to the study of social and economic inequality. His major works include comparative studies of the formation of welfare states and of class relations in the affluent democracies. He has also made numerous contributions to the study of social policy, poverty and income inequality in Canada.

Long Citation John Mylopoulos is the first and still most influential researcher to have made lasting and deep contributions to the three separate computer science fields of artificial intelligence, data management, and software engineering. He pioneered the use of conceptual modeling within all three fields. His seminal work on requirements modeling has had a lasting impact on academic research and industrial practice, and provides a foundation for the popular software engineering practice of model-driven software development. He is an academic leader, and has been elected to top research positions in all three fields.
