Roger Cowley
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: Oxford University
Keywords: Neutron scattering, phase transitions, X-ray Diffraction, liquid helium, superlattices
Deceased Date: 2015-01-27
Roger Cowley has an outstanding international reputation for the use of neutron and X-ray scattering to study the structure, excitations and phase transitions in condensed matter. His experiments have elucidated the novel behaviour of the quantum fluctuations in superfluid helium and low dimensional magnets as well as characterizing the effect of the fluctuations on phase transitions where they continue to provide challenges to accepted theories. He is a Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh.

Robert W. Cox of York University is a specialist in the field of international political economy and is one of the most respected scholars in the world on the implications of labour's changing role in economic production for international political relations. His book "Production, Power. and World Order: Social Forces in the-Making of History" has been widely praised for its insights and the breadth of its scholarship. Professor Cox has also made important contributions to the study of the politics of modern international organizations. Prior to his career as a university professor he distinguished himself as the Director of the International Institute of Labour Studies in Geneva.
A collection of his essays was published as R.W. Cox with Timothy Sinclair, "Approaches to World Order" (Cambridge U.P., 1996).

Cox, David - Mathematical and Computer Sciences - Oxford University
David Cox has been one of the world’s most foremost statisticians for over half a century. His pioneering research contributions include his eponymous survival analysis and stochastic process models. His work has had an enormous impact on statistics and on other areas such as medicine and public health. The breadth of his influence is exceptional, including major editorial and professional service. His contacts with Canadians as a supervisor and collaborator have contributed greatly to the advancement of statistics in Canada.

Prof. Walter Craig
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: McMaster University
Keywords: mathematical physics, partial differential equations, dynamical systems, wave propagation
Deceased Date: 2019-01-18
Long Citation
Walter Craig is one of the world leaders in nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications, particularly as they apply to the mathematical study of water waves. He has made deep and lasting contributions to others areas of PDEs which are among the milestones in the field including Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory for Hamiltonian PDEs through his work on the small divisor problem, and progress on the Navier-Stokes and Boltzmann equations. He is the Director of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics Laboratory at McMaster and has provided mentorship to an enormous number of young mathematicians through his academic leadership.

Michael Craton
RSC Fellow, Academy of the Arts and Humanities
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Deceased Date: 2016-09-21
Michael Craton's scholarship has been profound, voluminous and pioneering. Over thirty years he has helped recast Caribbean and slave historiography. Younger scholars now ask different questions - and adopt different approaches - because of his work. The most eminent scholar in Caribbean history of his generation, he is respected internationally for his imaginative lines of enquiry and precise scholarly reconstruction. 1997 will see the publication of the second volume of his definitive "History of the Bahamian People", but his eight books, together with more than fifty other scholarly publications, have already established his place among the elite of Canadian historians.
Mr. Paul-André Crépeau
RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: McGill University
Keywords: Droit-civil, droit-privé international, , droit-comparé, linguistique juridique, thèorie du droit-privé
Deceased Date: 2011-07-07
Monsieur le professeur Paul Crépeau est un éminent juriste et un universitaire de grande envergure. Considéré comme l'un des plus grands civilistes au Canada, il fut président de l'Office de révision du
Code civil du Québec (1956-77) et mena à terme la tâche immense qui lui fut confiée. Diplômé des universités d'Ottawa, de Montréal, d'Oxford, de Paris et de Strasbourg, M. Paul-André Crépeau est
également un comparatiste dans le domaine du droit. Il fut élu président de l'Académie internationale de droit comparé (1990-1998).
Il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages et articles dans le domaine du droit privé et du droit commercial international. Sa reputation de juriste et d'universitaire a depuis plusieurs années dépassé les frontières du Canada.
Dr. William Cullen
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: The University of British Columbia
Keywords: biochemistry and geochemistry of arsenic
Deceased Date: 2019-12-01
Cullen has been on the Canadian Inorganic Chemistry scene for 30 years, and has served it well in many official capacities; he has pioneered research in fluorocarbon-organometallic and organoarsenic chemistries, the former yielding early examples of the now fashionable clusters. The latter area has led to major advances in the understanding of the biochemistry of arsenic. Work on chiral ferrocenyl phosphine ligands and associated Rh catalytic systems (hydrogenation and hydrosilylation) has widened the scope of effective asymmetric synthesis. Cullen was instrumental in establishing a bioinorganic group at UBC via an NRC Negotiated Development Grant, and chairs a group project that has developed the effective asymmetric reduction of imines, which is important industrially.
Dr. Frank Cunningham
RSC Fellow, Academy of the Arts and Humanities
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: Democratic theory, urban philosophy
Deceased Date: 2022-02-04
Frank Cunningham is one of Canada's leading political philosophers. Having first made a name for himself for his work on objectivity in the social sciences, Professor Cunningham next turned to Marxist scholarship, producing widely respected interpretations of classic texts, popularizations of Marxism, and creative adaptations of Marxist theories and ideas to current problems. His most recent work, on democratic theory, is also his best known. Professor Cunningham is currently Canada's most prominent democratic theorist, both at home and abroad. Widely respected in his own country, he has also been one of Canada's most durable intellectual exports to the world.
