Matthew Hill has made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the neuroscience of stress. His research on how the endocannabinoid system gates activation of the stress response and mediates both termination and adaptation of brain circuits to stress has guided the field. His translational work on the role of the endocannabinoid system in the stress response and stress-related psychiatric diseases has influenced the investigation of novel treatments for anxiety disorders.

Matthew Hill a apporté des contributions remarquables à notre compréhension de la neuroscience du stress. Ses recherches sur la façon dont le système endocannabinoïde active la réaction au stress et régule à la fois la terminaison et l’adaptation des circuits cérébraux du stress ont orienté les recherches dans le domaine. Ses travaux translationnels sur le rôle du système endocannabinoïde dans la réaction au stress et les maladies psychiatriques liées au stress ont inspiré la recherche de nouveaux traitements pour les troubles anxieux.

Scott Hinch is an international renowned scientist and award-winning educator who uniquely integrates physiology, ecology, behaviour, genomics, and social sciences in the study and conservation of Pacific salmon. His pioneering work combining large-scale telemetry tracking with biopsy sampling has transformed our understanding of how climate change, fisheries, and land/water management affects sustainability of salmon populations. His collaborations and leadership with social scientists, stakeholders and First Nations have benefitted fisheries management.

Scott Hinch est un scientifique de renommée internationale et un éducateur primé qui intègre de manière unique la physiologie, l’écologie, le comportement, la génomique et les sciences sociales dans l’étude et la conservation du saumon du Pacifique. Son travail de pionnier, qui combine le suivi par télémétrie à grande échelle et l’échantillonnage par biopsie, a transformé notre compréhension des effets du changement climatique, de la pêche et de la gestion des terres et des eaux sur la pérennité des populations de saumon. Ses collaborations avec des spécialistes en sciences sociales, les parties prenantes et les Premières Nations ont été bénéfiques pour la gestion des pêcheries.

Professor Hinings has been concerned with issues of organizational design and changes in those designs throughout his career. He has contributed significantly to the development of organization theory through the study of the determinants of organizational structure (the Aston work); the development of the structural contingencies theory of power; working with action and phenomenological critiques in the study of large scale organizational design changes (archetypes and tracks); and the study of management and change in professional service firms and sport, both of which have been formally recognized by the University of Alberta as areas of research excellence.

Professor Hinton, an acknowledged world authority in the field of cognitive neuroscience, is a pioneer in connectionism - the use of computer models to simulate self-adaptive neural networks and learning. A seminal paper co-authored in "Nature" in 1983 has been followed by many others, including recently, some highly original computational experiments on unsupervised learning - networks that learn simply by scanning the surrounding world. Through his many consulting activities and lectures, he is an effective transmitter of these ideas beyond the university, to industry and beyond.

Keith William Hipel, Department of Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo, has gained national and international eminence for his unique interdisciplinary research on the development and application of conflict resolution and time series analysis techniques for addressing challenging systems management problems in water resources, environmental engineering and sustainable development. Hipel and his co-workers are the originators of the graph model for conflict resolution, which includes a novel theoretical structure for capturing the key characteristics of conflict, a range of stability concepts for modelling different kinds of human behaviour in strategic decision making situations, extensive implementation algorithms, coalition analysis, and a decision support system for permitting practical applications. His research on time series analysis has had significant influence in stochastic hydrology by providing rigorous approaches to environmental impact assessment and a novel explanation to the Hurst Phenomenon. July 2017 - MIROSLAW ROMANOWSKI MEDAL HIPEL, Keith – University Professor of Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo; Senior Fellow, Centre for International Governance Innovation; Fellow, Balsillie School of International Affairs Keith W. Hipel is globally renowned for his pioneering contributions to environmental systems engineering via the development of systems-thinking methodologies for tackling complex physical and societal systems aspects of environmental problems to arrive at sustainable resolutions that are integrative, adaptive and fair to stakeholder groups. To achieve this, Hipel has made seminal advances in conflict resolution, multiple-objective decision-making, stochastic hydrology, environmental impact assessment, and equitable water allocation within a system-of-systems perspective.
