Three outstanding SFU researchers have been awarded Killam research fellowships to pursue research projects in English literature, biological sciences, and physics.
The fellowships, administered by the Canada Council for the Arts, enable 14 of Canada's best scientists and scholars to devote two years to full-time research and writing.
Two SFU professors-biological sciences professor Bernard Crespi and English professor Carole Gerson-received new awards, while physicist Mike Thewalt's existing Killam was renewed.
Crespi's research explores the evolution of social behaviour. Gerson will examine Canadian women in print between 1750 and 1918. Thewalt will continue his focus on redefining the limits of semiconductor spectroscopy.
Eighty-three researchers applied to the 38th annual competition. The recipients are chosen by the Killam selection committee, comprised of 14 eminent scientists and scholars representing a broad range of disciplines.
