Raymond Laflamme, Institute for Quantum Computing/University of Waterloo, in recognition of for his ground-breaking contributions on quantum information.
Prof. Jerry J. Battista, Western University, in recognition of for his outstanding and lifelong contributions to Medical Physics in Canada that have fundamentally altered worldwide practice. In addition to being an outstanding teacher, researcher, and mentor, Dr. Battista has steadfastly advocated for his field through his work on many professional and accreditation committees, his service as an advisor to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Cancer Care Ontario, and his coordination of Canada's largest residency training program in clinical physics.
Simon Fafard, Université de Sherbrooke, in recognition of for his new developments covering 20 years of research in applied solid state Physics, coupled with his strong efforts in commercializing these through patents and the establishment of his own companies.
Yong Baek Kim, University of Toronto, in recognition of for his leading work on the effects of large spin-orbit coupling on exotic ground states in geometrically frustrated and highly correlated quantum materials.
Martin Williams, University of Guelph, in recognition of for his exceptional ability to lead students to high academic achievements in physics through excellence and innovation in teaching and mentoring, for his contribution to curriculum design inspired by the results of Physics Education Research, and for his leadership in promoting the adoption of innovative research-based instructional strategies within the Canadian physics education community.
Paul François, McGill University, in recognition of for his seminal research in theoretical biophysics, particularly the use of methods from statistical and computational physics to model cellular processes as non-linear dynamical systems.
Mark Sutton, McGill University, in recognition of for pioneering the development of coherent and time-resolved X-ray scattering techniques for the study of materials, and his resulting contributions to our understanding of materials and phase transitions.
Prof. Charles Gale, McGill University, in recognition of for advances in theoretical nuclear physics including the theory and modelling of high-energy nuclear collisions.
