Prof. John Grace
Affiliation: The University of British Columbia
Keywords: Fluidization, particles, multiphase flow, clean energy, reactor design
Deceased Date: 2021-05-26
Professor Grace is Canada's most eminent engineer and scientist in the field of fluidization. He has made outstanding contributions to the understanding of gas-solid fluidized beds, to the clean burning of fuels by fluidized bed combustion, to a new environmentally friendly process for producing hydrogen by steam reforming and to our understanding of other multiphase operations, including gas-liquid flow, gas-solid spouting, liquid fluidization and gas-liquid-solid fluidization.

Dr. Angus Graham
Affiliation: McGill University
Keywords: Molecular biology, economics
Deceased Date: 2008-08-04
Professor A.F. Graham is a leading scientist in the field of virus biochemistry. In 1949, he was the first to show the incorporation of a radio-isotope (32p) into a purified mammalian virus. His studies of the break-down phenomenon of phages had very important impact on the concepts of the mutual exclusion effect.
Through Dr. Graham and his group's efforts, as well in Philadelphia as in Montreal, human reoviruses are among the best known mammalian viruses, genetically and biochemically.
Throughout his career, Dr. Graham was actively involved in teaching at Universities of Edinburgh, Pennsylvania, Toronto and McGill. Presently, he is Professor and Chairman of Biochemistry at McGill University.

Graham, as well as being a major force in the moulding in inorganic /organometallic chemistry within this Country over the last 20 years, has an outstanding international reputation in this area and he has been also a foremost ambassador worldwide for the Canadian Chemistry scene. His recent discoveries on activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds in saturated hydrocarbons, including methane, a long recognized problem in homogeneous catalysis, by the use of platinum metal complexes are truly remarkable and pioneering studies that will be strongly influential in the future development of this extremely exciting topic.
Dr. Edmond Granirer
Affiliation: The University of British Columbia
Keywords: Functional and harmonic analysis
Deceased Date: 2020-08-31
Edmond Granirer is an outstanding abstract analyst. He is perhaps best known for his penetrating studies on invariant means on semi-groups, a field in which he is the present day leader. In addition, he has made significant contributions to many other areas of analysis including convexity and the structure theory of convolution and Fourier algebras.
Dr. William Grant
Affiliation: McGill University
Keywords: Biosystematics, genetics, cytogenetics, mutagenesis
Deceased Date: 2011-10-06
Professor Grant is the world authority on the genetics and biosystematics of 'Lotus corniculatus' and has made many outstanding contributions of international recognition to plant biosystematics and cytogenetics. He has carried out pioneering studies on the use of higher plant species for testing and monitoring for mutagenic effects of environmental pollutants. He has received major national and international honors, has been a sought-after speaker around the world (including a Nobel Symposium in Sweden), has been a consultant to and chairman of many organizations and professional societies, and has been on the editorial board and editor of several journals such as the "Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology" (now "Genome").
Dr. James Gray

Keywords: 18th Century literature and history, editing
Deceased Date: 2012-11-27
Creative scholar, editor, academic administrator, James Gray is internationally recognized as an authority on eighteenth century English literature-. His book on the sermons of Samuel Johnson and his edition of'Johnson's religious writings are notable contributions to scholarship. As a member of the Executive Committee of the Yale University edition of Johnson's works, Professor Gray has a continuing influence on eighteenth century studies. Before coming to Dalhousie where he became Dean of Arts and Science, Professor Gray was prominent in the educational life of the Province of Quebec and is a member of major national academic committees and organizations in Canada, the United States and Great Britain. His extensive publications are in the fields of Literary Criticism, Aesthetics, Biography and Communications.
Dr. Christopher Gray
Affiliation: University of Guelph
Deceased Date: 2022-12-15
Chris Gray is a leading Theoretician in the fields of molecular physics and molecular liquids, who has made many outstanding contributions. These include the effects of intermolecular forces on the spectral lines of molecules, and the perturbation theory for the structure of molecular liquids and more recently of polar liquids. The success of his theorectical work in comparisons with experimental results have been striking and have given him his current leadership position in this field. Moreover, his ability to achieve similar successes over a very wide range of properties of molecular liquids has been a notable feature of his career.
