Dr. Bright Addae awarded 2025 Graduate Dean's Convocation Medal
We are pleased to announce that Graduate Alumni Dr. Bright Addae has been awarded the 2025 Dean of Graduate Studies Convocation Medal for the Faculty of Environment. This award is to recognize student's academic excellence and outstanding achievements related to their field of research and PhD thesis.
Taken from the SFU Convocation website:
Dr. Bright Addae completed his PhD in Geography, where he developed a modelling framework for simulating Earth’s complex spatial systems at the global level to address limitations of current models. His work has been published in high-impact journals and presented at international conferences. At SFU, he received multiple awards, including the Esri Canada GIS Scholarship and Michael Geller Graduate Scholarship in Urban Development. He is transitioning his research into practical solutions through a start-up that applies spatial analytics to environmental challenges. He gratefully acknowledges his supervisor Suzana Dragicevic and committee members Kirsten Zickfeld and Peter Hall for their invaluable guidance.
Congratulations Bright!
