february 29, 2024 – thunder bay and orillia, ont.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 recognized exceptional 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty researchers, and partners during the annual research and innovation awards of excellence on thursday, feb. 29 in thunder bay.

the event, hosted by dr. andrew p. dean, vice-president of research and innovation, celebrated lakehead’s significant contributions to research excellence, entrepreneurship, innovation, and community impact.

“each year we recognize the tremendous accomplishments of our student and faculty researchers,” he stated. “the impact of the work they do on- and off-campus can be felt locally and internationally and helps shape the reputation of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 as an institution dedicated to research excellence."

“congratulations to all the winners on this well-deserved honour,” he added.

two distinguished lakehead professors were among this year’s honorees: dr. pauline sameshima and dr. andrew j. dean were recognized with the 2024 distinguished researcher award.

dr. sameshima, an editor, curator, curriculum theorist, artist, and professor in the faculty of education, was recognized for her commitment to mobilizing learning across diverse audiences and fostering innovative university-community learning collaborations. her contributions in the field have garnered previous recognition, including the 2022 ontario art education association's post-secondary teacher of the year award, a 2022 lakehead teaching innovation award, and lakehead's 2020 building research capacity award. she is also a member of the college of the royal society of canada.

“i’m humbled by this honour,” said dr. sameshima. “i see the award as a big happy high five – a thank you cheer that is a two-way celebration. i think about telling my parents about the award. whenever anyone thanked my dad, who passed away a year ago, he always said, “my pleasure!” to this award, i say “my pleasure!” because working at lakehead is a pleasure.”

“i don’t think about changing societies but, because of technology, we affect more than we know,” she said. “the dedicated love we put into our work, whether it’s research for a scientific cure or a poem, goes through to the end product and is gifted to the receiver in a new form, like medicine or learning or emotion. in that way, research or anything we do affects the other.”

for sameshima, this recognition is a tribute to the collaborative efforts of family, mentors, colleagues, her research teams, graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and university staff.

“it is through research that better futures can be imagined. as we think, imagine, make, and share, we construct the society we hope for.” 

dr. dean joined 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 in 1999 after earning his phd in mathematics following his undergraduate education at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . he is currently a professor in the department of mathematical sciences.

his primary field of study is closely related to the elliott program for the classification of amenable c*-algebras. c*-algebras are mathematical objects that combine elements of algebra and analysis and are used in the study of operator theory, functional analysis, and quantum mechanics.

he has published numerous papers on this subject, and has supervised many 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and post-docs, some of whom are now in academia.

“i want my 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to develop skills that will allow them to thrive in whatever field they choose to work in, whether it is academic research or something else altogether,” he said, describing what he hopes to impart on 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and society through teaching and research.

“receiving the distinguished researcher award is an honour,” dr. dean said. “i would like to thank my 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , colleagues and coauthors, and the natural sciences and engineering research council (nserc) for many years of support.”
