Hat Trick for McGill Researchers: Luc Devroye, Margaret Lock, Nahum Sonenberg Win Coveted Killam Prizes.
(From AScribe)
MONTREAL -- McGill researchers have been awarded three of the five 2005 Killam Prizes -- Canada's most distinguished annual awards for career achievements in five categories.
Computer scientist Luc Devroye is the recipient of the Killam Prize in Engineering, medical anthropologist Margaret Lock wins the Killam Prize in Social Sciences and the Killam Prize in Health Sciences goes to biochemist Nahum Sonenberg.
The Killam Prizes, worth $100,000 each, were announced in Ottawa today by the Canada Council for the Arts, which administers the Killam Program. Completing the list of winners were Brian K. Hall of Dalhousie University (Killam Prize in Natural Sciences) and Linda Hutcheon of University of Toronto (Killam Prize in Humanities).
McGill Principal and Vice-Chancellor Heather Munroe-Blum said that she is thrilled with the results of this year's Killam competition.
"The awards recognize the magnificent accomplishments of three of our most productive colleagues and are richly deserved," she said.
"Individually, Professors Devroye, Lock and Sonenberg are international leaders in their fields and have made enormous contributions to research, teaching and more generally to society," said Principal Munroe-Blum.
