Long Citation John Mylopoulos is the first and still most influential researcher to have made lasting and deep contributions to the three separate computer science fields of artificial intelligence, data management, and software engineering. He pioneered the use of conceptual modeling within all three fields. His seminal work on requirements modeling has had a lasting impact on academic research and industrial practice, and provides a foundation for the popular software engineering practice of model-driven software development. He is an academic leader, and has been elected to top research positions in all three fields.

R. Paul Young is currently Professor of Geophysics and formerly Vice-President (Research) at the University of Toronto (2007-14). He has a PhD in Geophysics, M.Sc. in Rock Mechanics and a B.Sc. in Geological Sciences. He has held the Keck Chair in Seismology and Rock Mechanics at the University of Toronto, the Chair of Earth Science at the University of Liverpool and has been President of the British Geophysical Association. He has been awarded many honours for his research and innovation, notably, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Willet G. Miller Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Canada for his research in earth sciences, and the John A. Franklin Award for Rock Mechanics by the Canadian Geotechnical Society. He is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is a Chartered Engineer. Over the past 30 years, Professor Young has pioneered techniques used today in monitoring and interpreting induced seismicity in the mining, petroleum and nuclear waste disposal industries. Through his research groups at Queen's University and the University of Toronto, Keele University and Liverpool University, UK, as well as through spin off companies such as the Engineering Seismology Group (Canada) and Applied Seismology Consultants (UK) significant scientific advances have been made in seismology and rock mechanics. He has published over 220 scientific papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, supervised over 40 PhD students and post-doctoral research fellows, and developed innovative instrumentation systems for induced seismicity/acoustic emission monitoring. Professor Young’s research is focused on rock fracture dynamics and induced seismicity with application to natural geologic hazards such as earthquakes and volcanic activity and engineering applications such as mining, hydrocarbon recovery, hydraulic fracturing and deep underground storage for nuclear waste isolation and CO2 sequestration.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Larry Heaman's studies on the timing of magmas produced from Earth's mantle have revolutionized our understanding of large-scale connections between mantle dynamics and crustal tectonics. His pioneering studies on the use of new minerals for precise isotopic age dating of mantle magmas has revealed new details about past configuration of Earth's continental plates. His research on diamond-bearing rocks (kimberlites) has shown a relationship to mantle "hot-spot" tracks, and an origin for some diamonds in deeply subducted ocean crust. Dr. Larry Heaman is a world leader in the field of geochronology - the science of precise and accurate determination of geologic time.

Long Citation Isztar Zawadzki has made exceptional and long-lasting contributions to our understanding of precipitation processes using radar measurements. He has related the statistical properties of raindrops to their physical origin and has parameterized their attributes. He then directed the incorporation of his raindrop parameterization scheme into an advanced mesoscale numerical weather prediction model for the benefit of the meteorological community. He has designed novel experiments, and followed them through with superb quantitative interpretations. For his many contributions to radar meteorology, Prof. Zawadzki was awarded in 2006 the first-ever Remote Sensing Prize of the American Meteorology Society.

Long Citation Dr. R. Brian Haynes is the world leader in medical information research and knowledge translation as a means to improve clinical and health care through improving the retrieval, distillation, synthesis, dissemination and application of validated health care knowledge. He was the first person ever to systematically research a worldwide array of clinical medical journal articles on diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutics, economics, and quality-of-care, establishing that less than 1% of them were both scientifically valid and clinically applicable. He then led the worldwide scientific effort to correct this deficiency by creating a health knowledge refinery and leading the scientific development of both evidence-based journals and internet information services.

Long Citation Gary Lopaschuk is a scientific leader in the area of how energy metabolism is controlled in the heart under both normal and pathological conditions. His research has clarified the molecular mechanisms responsible for the rapid maturation of fatty acid oxidation in the heart following birth and the high rates of fatty acid oxidation in the myocardium of the diabetic, as well as how excess use of fatty acids by the heart contributes to ischemic heart disease. Dr. Lopaschuk demonstrated that alterations in the control of fatty acid oxidation contribute to a number of cardiac pathologies, including ischemic heart disease, hypertrophy and heart failure, and diabetic cardiomyopathies. He has also shown that modifying fatty acid oxidation is a novel approach to treating various forms of heart disease. He is an inventor on a number of patents and has a prolific publication record.

Long Citation Dr. Marra has made significant contributions to genome science and health research. One major contribution was the construction of a human genome map. This key resource allowed an International Consortium to efficiently complete and make publicly available the human genome sequence. Dr. Marra's mapping approach has been used to analyze more than 30 genomes from organisms of major importance to research. Another major contribution was in sequencing the SARS coronavirus genome. The speed of the sequencing and the availability of the sequence made international headlines, and emphasized the central role that genome science could play in combating emerging infectious diseases.
