Long Citation Professor Ng has made exceptional seminal contributions in catalysis, green chemistry and engineering for the chemical, petrochemical and oil industry. She pioneered a new method to determine the Co-C bond dissociation energy which helps to elucidate the role of Co in vitamin B12 catalysis. She is a world leader in catalytic distillation, a novel green reactor technology which is highly energy efficient. She invented catalysts and new green processes, one of which, the Avada process for the production of ethyl acetate, won the Best Green Chemistry and Engineering Process award from the UK Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2002.

John Nichols is the most distinguished contemporary student of the Ojibwe language, the most widely spoken aboriginal language in Canada. He combines unparalleled fieldwork experience with extensive archival work. Dr. Nichols is virtually unique in the constellation of interpretive skills necessary to decipher this complex historical record. Moreover, he is committed to making this scholarship useful to contemporary Ojibwe communities and individuals. Dr. Nichols has prepared critical editions, dictionaries and philological papers which set the standard for linguistic and ethnohistoric work on non-Indo-European languages. His practical work as an expert witness in land claims cases, in preparing Ojibwe language teaching materials, and in bibliographic documentation of current work in Ojibwe all make a major contribution to Canadian society as well as to linguistic scholarship.

Morten Nielsen, the David Chadwick Smith Chair in Economics and CRC in Time Series Econometrics at Queen’s University, is a leader in the field of econometrics (development of methods for statistical analysis of economic data) and recognized internationally for his contributions to time series econometrics. His work on vector autoregressive models and fractional integration in econometrics has garnered international acclaim and is likely to have substantial impact on empirical economics.

Morten Nielsen, titulaire de la chaire David Chadwick Smith en économie et d’une chaire de recherche du Canada en économétrie des séries chronologiques à la Queen’s University, est un chef de file dans le domaine de l’économétrie (développement de méthodes destinées aux analyses statistiques de données économiques) et est mondialement reconnu pour ses contributions à l’économétrie des séries chronologiques. Ses travaux sur l’analyse d’autorégression vectorielle et l’intégration fractionnaire en économétrie ont acquis une renommée mondiale et auront probablement un impact considérable sur l’économie empirique.

PETER N. NIKIFORUK, Dean, College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, has made important contributions to the field of automatic control systems. His main areas of research are adaptive and electrohydraulic control systems. He pioneered analytic and experimental work on the response of nonlinear control systems to random inputs, and was one of the first to perform closed loop digital simulations. More recently, he and co-workers contributed to broad area of frequency and time domain response of control systems. He has published or co-authored over 250 papers, several of which have received prizes - the most recent was the Kelvin Premium from the Institute of Electrical Engineers (UK).

Pendant plus de vingt ans, en tant que chercheur universitaire, Monsieur Jorge Niosi a réalisé des recherches sur divers aspects de l'organisation sociale et économique des entreprises canadiennes. Ses travaux (dix livres, près de trente articles dans des revues scientifiques, prèes de vingt contributions à des ouvrages collectifs, plus de trente communications scientifiques), publiés au Canada et à l'étranger, lui ont valu une réputation internationale, ont été abondamment cités, et ont fait connaître notre pays dans les milieux scientifiques outre-mer, tout en améliorant notre propre compréhension du Canada.

Steven P. Nolan is distinguished for numerous contributions to organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry, and in particular for his development of new homogeneous catalysts.

Steven P. Nolan est reconnu pour ses nombreuses contributions à la chimie organique, inorganique et organométallique et en particulier pour le développement de nouveaux catalyseurs homogènes.

Jaan Noolandi, whose fundamental theoretical work has contributed to the better understanding of complex polymeric systems, including polymer blends, block copolymers, polymeric surfactants, reptation theory of entangled polymer melts, and gel electrophoresis of DNA, is one of the world's leading polymer physicists. The work on pulsed electric field gel electrophoresis of single and double stranded DNA drew on an analogy with dispersive transport phenomena of charge in amorphous semiconductors. This work established a solid quantitative basis for the separation of charged macromolecules in a gel, allowing for subsequent applications of the pulsed field technique to DNA sequencing with an extended range of chemical base recognition. This work has supported the human genome project with both theory and hardware development and commercialization.

Luc Noppen est professeur titulaire à l'École d'architecture de l'Université Laval; il oeuvre depuis plus de vingt ans à la formation et à la recherche en histoire de l'art et de l'architecture du Québec et dirige, a dirigé ou co-dirigé plus de trente thèses ou mémoires en histoire de l'architecture. Auteur, entres autres, de « Québec Trois siècles d'architecture » (1979), il a aussi collaboré de façon importante aux deux tomes des « Chemins de la mémoire » (1990-1991) et publié « Québec monumental 1890-1990 » (1990). Membre de l'équipe lauréate du 1992 Canadian Architect Awards of Excellence, Luc Noppen s'est notamment engagé dans la recherche fondamentale sur la création, la conservation et la restauration de l'objet architectural, ancien ou moderne. Ses nombreux travaux et ses publications recouvrent des champs variés, depuis la muséologie jusqu'aux pratiques architecturales, et participent tant à la diffusion des connaissances qu'au renouvellement des problématiques en histoire de l'architecture au Québec. Luc Noppen est actuellement membre du comité aviseur du projet Faubourg Québec (Montréal) et coordonnateur du programme des Prix d'excellence de l'Ordre des architectes du Québec. Expert invité du Comité de reconnaissance et de classement du ministère de la culture depuis 1990, membre depuis 1992 du comité conseil du Réseau canadien d'information sur le patrimoine, Luc Noppen est aussi, depuis 1977, l'expert-évaluateur des documents relatifs à l'architecture du Conseil national d'évaluation des archives.
