Eli Sollid , University of Calgary ,
in recognition of his excellent academic record and strong physics knowledge as well as his great communication and pedagogical skills. These were evidenced in part by his completion of an original physics education research project that used interdisciplinary applications to create and implement a physics course designed to improve student attitudes towards physics. Eli believes that with the proper support students’ way of thinking about physics can undergo a significant transformation. The desire to provide this support is what "...continually impassions [him] to teach.".
