Excellence in Science Research

Inaugurated in 2021, the Excellence in Science Research Awards recognize outstanding research accomplishments by Science faculty members. Each year, three researchers from across the Faculty of Science are chosen to be celebrated. One tenure-track faculty, one mid-career tenured faculty (up to 10 years post-tenure), and one senior-career tenured faculty (more than 10 years post-tenure). These awards draw attention to the research area of each recipient, recognize excellence at the University, and strengthen subsequent nominations for external research awards.
