Congratulations to Mr. Jeffrey Oke who has recently won multiple awards. He has recently been awarded the Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarships and NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship awarded to high-calibre scholars who are engaged in master's or doctoral programs in the natural sciences or engineering. Upon his recent graduation from the Royal Military College of Canada he recently won the following awards: The W.M. Carleton Monk Memorial Scholarship. The W.M. Carleton Monk Memorial Scholarship is awarded to the graduating RETP cadet who obtains the highest marks in academic subjects in the graduating year, provided attendance at a university following graduation. The J.F. Lott Award is awarded for the top thesis mark in civil engineering. Navy League of Canada Prize. The Navy League of Canada Prize is awarded to the best Sea Operations cadet in the graduating class based on high standards of proficiency in each of the four components (academic, sports, military and language ability). The Commander Arturo Prat Leadership Award. The Commander Arturo Prat Leadership Award is awarded in conjunction with the Navy League of Canada to the graduating naval cadet who has demonstrated outstanding leadership, moral values, performance, and potential for future service in the Profession of Arms. OUA East, Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Randy Gregg Award. This award honours the hockey player who best combines outstanding hockey ability, academic achievement and community involvement. Jeffrey Oke is currently enrolled in a Master’s program under the supervision of Dr. Nicholas Vlachopoulos. We congratulate Jeff on his recent outstanding achievements and welcome him to our team. |

April 2010 Dr Mark Diederichs has been awarded funding of $52,000 per year for his project titled “Improved mechanical models & engineering management strategies for the excavation damage zone (EDZ) in sedimentary rocks around underground nuclear waste”. This represents an increase in funding by 126%. Dr Kent Novakowski has been awarded funding of $35,000 per year for his project titled “The role of the overburden-bedrock contact and upper bedrock properties in the recharge and contamination of shallow bedrock aquifers”, a 62% increase in his previous funding. Dr Andy Take has been awarded funding of $62,000 per year for his project titled “Effects of climate and climate change on the soil slopes of our natural and built environment”, a 170% increase in funding. Andy and Mark have also been awarded Discovery Accelerator Supplements of $120,000 to boost their productivity even further over the next few years. These additional awards are exceptional, since these were two of only thirty awarded to all engineering scholars across Canada in 2010. |

January 2010 He then spent 2009 as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Western Ontario before accepting a faculty position at Queen`s. Kevin strengthens our team of groundwater/hydrogeology experts (Bernie Kueper, Kent Novakowski and Vicki Remenda), adding expertise on three-fluid phase flow within porous media, with potential for application to new developments in carbon sequestration and remediation of contaminated ground. |
