Qutayba Hamid is a clinical scientist that has focused most of his research in the area of the role of cytokines in allergic diseases. He pioneered the description of the association between Th-2 type cytokines and asthma and his work in the area has formed the basis for the generally accepted hypothesis of the pathogenesis of allergic disease. His contribution to this field has been translated to many therapeutic approaches that are currently in phase III trails including anti-IL-5, anti-IL-9 and IL-17. His papers are highly cited, more than 28000 times, and his H factor is 83.

Professor Jean-Jacques Hamm has written on a wide variety of authors, themes, and critical approaches, but above all he is known internationally for his numerous books and articles on Stendhal. In theses studies he has applied novel methods of hermeneutics, psychoanalytical approaches, sociological critiques, and computerized analysis of texts. He has also been a pioneer in the study of parody in literature. Moreover, he has been a leader in his profession as an organizer of conferences, founder of research groups, and as an editor. Finally, he is an accomplished stylist in both his scholarly work and in his own creations.

Hampson, Fen Osler - Political Science (International Affairs) - Carleton University Fen Hampson has made a series of highly original contributions to the study and practice of international affairs in the fields of conflict management and resolution, international security, international organization and Canadian foreign policy. His work is widely recognized nationally and internationally as path-breaking. His outstanding international reputation as one of Canada’s leading international affairs scholars has resulted in him being called upon to play a key leadership role in a number of major international commissions and in the work of internationally recognized think thanks which offer advice to governments around the globe and major international organizations. ------------------ Hampson, Fen Osler - Political Science (International Affairs) - Carleton University Fen Hampson has made a series of highly original contributions to the study and practice of international affairs in the fields of conflict management and resolution, international security, international organization and Canadian foreign policy.

Dr. Hancock is internationally known for his research on the outer membranes of the medically important pathogenic bacterium, 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa' and other bacteria. His work is quite diverse, having produced over 200 peer-reviewed publications and 50 reviews to date. He is perhaps best known for his elucidation of a novel self-promoted uptake pathway across the outer membrane, for his model membrane and molecular genetic studies on porins and for his studies on small cationic antimicrobial peptides as "nature's antibiotics". His research has been well received and he has been invited to present more than 100 lectures at major international symposia. In 1987 he was the youngest-ever recipient of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists Award. In 1993 he received the 125th Anniversary of Canada Silver Medal. He was one of the first group of scientists to receive MRC's most prestigious Distinguished Scientist Award in 1995.

Professor Hanessian has made splendid contributions to synthetic organic chemistry. He has been a pioneer in the investigation of the utility of carbohydrates and other chiral molecules in the synthesis of natural products. The concept of 'chiral templates' which he developed, and which has since been used by many research groups, has been applied ingeniously by Hanessian in the partial or complete syntheses of such challenging targets as spectinomycin. He has received major national and international awards, and is a sought-after speaker at major symposia and conferences around the world.

Her original work on the interactive relationships between material properties and reinforced concrete behaviour, the cavitation erosion of metal alloys, and applications of ion implantation and laser surface treatment for metals and alloys are exceptional in their creativity, vision and scholarly achievement. She has authored over 100 technical articles, numerous reports, edited 3 books and has been honoured with various awards and election to several academies.

René Hardy est I'un des grands spécialistes du XIXe siècle québécois. Il a signé une demi-douzaine d'ouvrages ainsi que nombreux articles et contributions à des collectifs, au Canada et en Europe. La culture est au centre de son oeuvre qui se déploie en deux volets qu'unit une même interrogation sur le changement social. Le premier volet s'articule autour de I'univers symbolique et des pratiques culturelles; il signale René Hardy parmi les fins interprètes de la question religieuse et de la culture populaire. Le second est un regard posé sur la socioéconomie; ici encore des productions majeures situent René Hardy parmi les meilleurs analystes des transformations du monde rural québécois du siècle dernier et, notamment, parmi les pionniers de I'histoire naissante de la culture matérielle de celui-ci. Il a reçu plusieurs prix importants. Très present dans le milieu scientifique, il a rempli de nombreuses fonctions au sein d'organismes voués au développement de la recherche.

Dr. W.N. Hardy is a brilliant experimental Physicist whose contributions to Solid State Physics have received world wide recognition. He was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship in 1972-74, the C.A.P. Herzberg Medal in 1978, Steacie Prize, also in 1978, the Canada Council Senior Killam Fellowship 1984-86, the Killam Research Prize 1986-88, the BC Science Council Gold Medal, 1989, the CAP Medal of Achievement, 1993, the CAP Brockhouse Medal, 1999 and the Canada Council Killam Prize 1999. Dr. Hardy's careful and innovative work on the properties of solid hydrogen represents a fundamental contribution to Physics and to Chemistry. He has made many contributions to the study of cryogenic atomic hydrogen, including the development of a cryogenic hydrogen maser. Since 1989 he has worked exclusively on high temperature superconductivity and made important contributions to the question of the ground state of the cuprate superconductors. Dr. Hardy has a deep feeling for logic and elegance in experimental design. He transmits this feeling not only to his students, but also to his colleagues and to their students.
