3. CAIMS-Fields Industrial Mathematics Prize: Raymond Spiteri, University of Saskatchewan

Raymond Spiteri is an Applied Mathematician known for his academic work in Numerical Analysis in an impressive diversity of application areas. He is a Professor in Computer Science and Director of the Centre for High-Performance Computing at the University of Saskatchewan. His strong contribution to outreach projects has made him the recipient of the CAIMS-Fields Industrial Mathematics Prize this year. The Saskatchewan Police Service describe him as “a key partner in an exciting and innovative initiative designed to advance the use of advanced analytics within Canadian policing and is viewed as an industry leader in this regard”. KeyLeaf (a Canadian company specializing in the extraction and purification of natural products from plant-based raw materials) describe Ray in their collaboration as “an innovative, tireless researcher focused on the advancement of Canadian academia and industry using applied mathematics and computing technology.”

4. CAIMS Research Prize: Frithjof Lutscher, University of Ottawa

In recognition of his outstanding contributions to mathematical ecology. His accomplished work and his innovative and interdisciplinary approach to research will continue to influence the research in spatial ecology and applied mathematics for years to come.

5. CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award: Elina Robeva, University of British Columbia

In recognition for her deep contributions in the intersections of mathematical statistics, applied algebraic geometry, and machine learning, and for novelty and breadth of applications in tensor decompositions, density estimation, and the study of diffraction-limited superresolutions.

6. Cecil Graham Doctoral Dissertation Award: Ali Devran Kara (Ph.D. from Queen’s)

In recognition of the substantial results achieved in his dissertation, and stellar publication record in top journals in his field including an IEEE student paper award.
