R.E. (Ted) Munn is a specialist in boundary layer meteorology who has enlarged his scope of work to a remarkably interdisciplinary plane. He made important contributions to boundary layer physics and chemistry, and from this went on to become Canada's most successful student of air pollution problems, including acid deposition. In recent years he has had major role in creating a scientifically valid approach to environmental impact assessment. World recognition has involved him in many international ventures, and brought him many honours.

Through his ground-breaking research in applied linguistics, Murray Munro has changed the way we think about second language acquisition and the intelligibility of second language learners. His work is recognized internationally for refuting widely-held assumptions that the window of opportunity for successful speech learning closes in childhood, with implications for psychology and child development. It also exposes unethical practices in language teaching and confronts discrimination against immigrants with foreign accents.

Grâce à ses recherches en linguistique appliquée, Murray Munro a changé notre conception de l'acquisition d'une langue seconde et de l'intelligibilité des apprenants de langue seconde. Son travail est connu internationalement pour réfuter les hypothèses selon lesquelles la fenêtre d'opportunité pour un apprentissage réussi de la parole se ferme pendant l'enfance, avec des implications pour la psychologie et le développement de l'enfant. Il expose également les pratiques contraires à l'éthique dans l'enseignement des langues et confronte la discrimination à l'encontre des immigrés aux accents étrangers.

Heather Munroe-Blum is a scholar and policy leader of international reputation. She is a leading figure in advancing the impact of university-based research in Canada, in championing effective science and innovation policy, as well as the positioning of Canadian higher education, research and researchers in the international context.

Professor Murasugi has made important contributions to three-dimensional topology, especially in knot theory, the study of topological embeddings of closed curves in three-space. He has settled some open questions. His work in link theory was a significant contribution which has stimulated much further research.

Brendan MURPHY is a Professor of Earth Sciences at St. Francis Xavier University. Murphy is best known for his contributions to understanding the supercontinent cycle, one of the most significant scientific developments in Earth Sciences since the discovery of plate tectonics. He has led a wide range of study over his career in an effort to improve understanding of mountain building processes and the long-term history of global environmental change.

Gregor Murray is internationally renowned for his contributions to the field of industrial relations and, in particular, how labour market actors and their various power resources determine the conditions under which work takes place in any given context.

Gregor Murray est un chercheur de réputation mondiale qui a permis une compréhension renouvelée du fonctionnement des relations industrielles, en démontrant qu'a l'intérieur d'un contexte économique et social donné, ce sont avant tout les acteurs sociaux et les sources de pouvoir dont ils disposent qui déterminent les conditions dans lesquelles le travail humain s'exécute. ------------------ Gregor Murray is internationally renowned for his contributions to the field of industrial relations. His research explores how, in particular economic and social contexts, labour market actors and their various power resources determine the conditions under which work takes place. His research has helped to identify the practices and institutional forms whereby actors in an increasingly globalized world of work can develop their capacities to ensure both organizational efficiency and equity for workers.

Joan Murray is one of the leading historians of Canadian art. Her books on artists and their work have had the rare distinction of being both critical and popular successes. She is the leading interpreter of the Group of Seven, the main researcher into the life of Tom Thompson and, as director of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ont., a major interpreter of Victorian and twentieth century Canadian art.

M. Ram Murty is a leading expert in the application of analytic mehtods to the study of modular forms and elliptic curves, as well as to other related questions of number theory. He has provided best-possible estimates of the coefficients of modular forms which has been previously obtainable only by use of unproved hypotheses. His work on Artin's conjecture on primitive roots provided the first unconditional evidence for this conjecture. He has made impressive progress towards a complete proof of conjectures of Serre and Lang-Trotter concerning primitive points on elliptic curves.

Muralee Murugesu is a pioneering figure in the ever-growing field of molecular nano-materials for molecular electronic applications. His internationally acclaimed innovative research has led to some of the highest performing nanomagnets to date and has furthered our understanding of inherent magnetic properties of rare earth elements. His outstanding contributions have earned him numerous awards and promises to revolutionize high-speed computing and high-density data storage.

Muralee Murugesu est un pionnière dans le champ toujours croissant des nanomatériaux moléculaires pour les applications électroniques moléculaires. Ses recherches novatrices de renommée internationale ont mené à certains des nano-aimants les plus performants qui soient jusqu’ici et elles ont approfondi notre compréhension des propriétés magnétiques inhérentes d’éléments terrestres rares. Ses contributions incroyables lui ont valu de nombreux prix et promettent de révolutionner l’informatique haute vitesse et le stockage de données à haute densité.

A scientific leader in medical engineering, research, development, and training, his Canadian Artificial Heart Program has already brought scientific recognition and eminence to Canada, with a device that could save thousands of lives. His innovative and visionary work includes advances in non-invasive powering of implanted devices, the reduction of blood clotting, and a revolutionary system for remote patient care and healthcare delivery. Another important undertaking is the Healthwatch, an innovative device for early stage disease detection and prevention. He is an inventor with several international patents and an effective educator having trained more than 200 students, post- doctoral fellows, and residents. He has authored over 200 journal articles, reports, abstracts, book chapters, and books. His scientific endeavors have led to significant funding for medical and clinical engineering research and the creation of over 300 man/years of employment. In summary, Dr. Mussivand is an outstanding scientist and educator, with persuasive talents and innovative vision.
