Dr. O. Edwards
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Deceased Date: 2007-05-21
Oliver Edward Edwards is Associate Research Officer, Division of Pure Chemistry, National Research Council. His early work with Professor Hurd led to a critical appraisal of Pictet and Castain's claim to have prepared 1,2-anhydroglucose, to the discovery of some interesting thermal isomerization and dehydration of dihydroxydihydropyran, and to the discovery and interpretation of some unusual reactions of lead tetraacetate with dihydropyran. His most important work has been in the field of alkaloids and indeed his contribution is outstanding. His major structural studies on aconite and delphinium alkaloids, started in 1950, have resulted in the discovery of an array of unusual reactions of the alkaloid lycoctonine which have been interpreted in the light of the complex structure of this base determined by X-ray crystallography. He has also contributed substantially to our knowledge of the structure of the alkaloid atisine, as well as doing first-rate work on unrelated alkaloids.

Dr. Kieran Egan
RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: Simon Fraser University
Keywords: Education, development, recapitulation, curriculum, teaching
Deceased Date: 2022-05-12
Kieran Egan has articulated a new, and new kind of, educational theory. He characterizes education as tied in with cultural history and as the accumulation of four somewhat distinct kinds of understanding - which he calls mythic, romantic, philosophic, and ironic. The radical nature, and potential practical importance, of his work has become increasingly recognized, marked by his receiving the 1991 Grawemeyer Award in Education. (This recently instituted award is consciously designed on the model of the Nobel prizes in areas not recognized by Nobel). His work is inspiring significant changes in curriculum and teaching practices in many countries around the world.
Peter Egelstaff
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: University of Guelph
Deceased Date: 2015-01-18
Dr. Peter A. Egelstaff has acquired a widespread reputation for his varied and imaginative research in neutron physics. His work has encompassed both basic science and technology. He was responsible for many early measurements of nuclear cross-sections used in the calculation of reaction rates in nuclear reactions. Of his many contributions to nuclear spectrometry he is best known for the development of cold neutron sources and high-speed phased chopping spectrometers. Sometimes with collaborators, he has made major contributions to the physics of liquids, particularly in studies of the atomic behaviour of liquid metals and alloys, and of molecular liquids, using neutron scattering. He has held administrative posts of importance both in England and Canada.
Dr. Hans Eichner
RSC Fellow, Academy of the Arts and Humanities
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: German romanticism, jewish studies
Deceased Date: 2009-04-08
A graduate of the University of London, from which he holds both the bachelor's and doctor's degrees, Prof. Eichner taught at Bedford College in that University before coming to the Department of German at Queen's in 1950. He has lectured widely in Canadian, German and American universities.
Prof. Eichner has won an international reputation as co-editor of the monumental edition of Friedrich Schlegel's collected works. The introductions he has written for volumes II, IV, V and VI are recognized as masterful essays, and his editorship in general has met with universal acclaim and admiration. To obtain an idea of Mr.Eichner's scholarship and editorial ability one has but to see his introduction and commentary to Schlegel's Literary Notebooks 1797-1801, published outside the collected works in London and Toronto. In spite of his preoccupation with Schlegel and German Romanticism Mr. Eichner has found time to produce valuable books on such modern German writers as Thomas Mann.

LONG
Professor Adi Eisenberg is recognized for his outstanding contributions to polymer science. His fundamental studies on the structure-morphology-property relationships in random ionomers have led to a new unified model which, for the first time, elucidated the relationship between the architecture of the ionomer, including such factors as the nature of the pendant ion, the counter-ion, the ion concentration, and others parameters with the morphology and physical properties of the materials. More recently, Professor Eisenberg has made seminal discoveries in the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers to two and three dimensional micelles in a controlled manner to a range of morphologies including spheres, rods, tubules, hollow spheres and many others. This has led to an explosion of research in the field internationally since potential applications of his discovery range all the way from nano-electronics to drug delivery.
