Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award

This award recognizes the work of outstanding young faculty members in the School of Business and the Faculties of Engineering and Science.

Suncor Energy administers this award. The University of Alberta appreciates Suncor Energy’s generous support of our talented young researchers.

Recipient: KARTHIK SHANKAR Electrical and Computer Engineering

FOCUS ON KARTHIK SHANKAR

Dr Karthik Shankar is researching ways to increase solar panels’ energy-yielding power and to lower the cost of manufacturing them. Many solar cells are limited because they don’t harvest the wide spectrum of light from the sun. Dr Shankar’s new process of combining metallic nanoparticles with semi-conductor nanostructures could lead to a solar cell that absorbs light more strongly as well as a wider array of sunlight. “Building solar panels with mainstream semiconductors requires a clean room and people in laboratory bunny suits—it’s very expensive,” Dr Shankar says. “My proposal is low cost. You won’t need a clean room; hopefully, you can make these new solar panels in a garage.” His technology also has potential for other uses, for example, removing organic pollutants in drinking water. 6 ■ Celebration of research & Innov ation

VIDEO PORTRAIT: SARAH ROSHKO, NSERC UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH AWARD

An undergraduate student in Physical Education and Recreation (Kinesiology), Sarah Roshko worked with supervisor Dr Dave Collins on a novel approach to rehabilitation. She and Dr Collins looked at whether playing the Guitar Hero video game could strengthen the pathways that connect the brain and muscles in people recovering from damage to their central nervous system. People with damage caused by stroke or spinal cord injury often have to relearn how to move. The nervous system can often adapt in response to these kinds of injuries, a process called neuroplasticity. Sarah’s study investigated whether integrating fun and motivating games like Guitar Hero into rehabilitation programs could improve patients’ neuroplasticity and speed up their recovery.

Martha Cook Piper Research Prizes

The Martha Cook Piper Research Prize commemorates Dr Piper’s significant contribution to the research community while she was Vice-President (Research) and Vice-President (Research and External Affairs) at the University of Alberta during the 1990s.

This award recognizes two faculty members who are at an early stage of their careers, enjoy a reputation for original research, and show outstanding promise as researchers.

Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 program honours Canadians under the age of 40 who have reached a significant level of success. It promotes mentorship and professional development by introducing these leaders to the business community and by promoting them as role models for young Canadians.

Recipient: IAN MANN Physics

FOCUS ON IAN MANN

Canada Research Chair in Space Science Dr Ian Mann is the principal investigator for the Canadian Space Agency’s space storm research, and co- director of the U of A’s Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology. Dr Mann’s research projects, which focus on space weather and how to limit its effects on satellite communications and space activities, open up great economic opportunities for Canada. The United States recently launched the first privately funded spacecraft. Dr Mann believes that Canada, with the fourth-largest aerospace industry in the world, must be ready to compete in the new space race: “Imagine space-based monitoring of the Northwest Passage and the environmental impact of the oil sands or natural disasters, and imagine 40-minute sub-orbital passenger flights from Toronto to Sydney, Australia.” AWARD PRESENTATIONS ■ 13

Trudeau Fellowship

Every year, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation selects up to five Fellows from across Canada who have set themselves apart through their research achievements, creativity, and social commitment.

The Fellows are chosen by an independent jury of eminent researchers and intellectuals after a rigorous selection process.

Recipient: JANINE BRODIE Political Science

FOCUS ON JANINE BRODIE

Dr Brodie’s research critically engages with many key challenges in Canadian politics and public policy: citizenship, gender equality, political representation, social policy, globalization, and contemporary transformations in governance. Dr Brodie has published in a wide range of national and international scholarly journals and has written 70 book chapters, most recently focusing on the many complex effects of neoliberal governing practices on social citizenship, and national governance. She has also written or co-written eight books, and edited or co-edited three others. Dr Brodie’s current research focuses on contemporary social policies and anti- poverty strategies as well as challenges to democratic citizenship arising from continentalization and globalization. 14■ Celebration of research & Innov ation

Trudeau Scholarship

The Trudeau Scholarships are among the most prestigious scholarships in the country and are awarded to doctoral students in Canada who are expected to become national and international leaders in their fields.

Recipient: LIBE GARCÍA ZARRANZ English and Film Studies

FOCUS ON LIBE GARCÍA ZARRANZ

The sixth University of Alberta graduate student to be awarded a Trudeau Scholarship, Libe García Zarranz completed her master’s degree (writing two dissertations) while teaching high school English in a small town outside Zaragoza, Spain. Her interest in the works of Irish-Canadian author Emma Donoghue motivated her to continue her studies in Canada. After coming here, Ms García Zarranz’s interests expanded to include other feminist ex-patriate writers who call Canada home, including Hiromi Goto (currently a writer-in-residence at the U of A), Shani Mootoo, and Larissa Lai. She studies feminist writers in the context of their border-crossing strategies and their works that cross geo-political boundaries or divisions of gender, sexuality, or genre. In 2010, Ms. García Zarranz also received an Honorary Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Scholarship, Dorothy J Killam Memorial Graduate Prize, and Andrew Stewart Memorial Graduate Prize.

Humboldt Research Award

This award, administered by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, recognizes a researcher’s achievements and is awarded to academics whose fundamental discoveries, new theories, or insights have had a significant impact on their own discipline and who are expected to continue producing cutting-edge achievements in the future.

Recipient: ONOOKOME OKOME English and Film Studies

FOCUS ON ONOOKOME OKOME

Onookome Okome’s research focuses on Nigerian cinema— also called “Nollywood,” a word combining Nigeria and Hollywood. With the fastest-growing film industry in the world, Nigeria produces about 2,500 films a year—films that are the most popular movies in Africa. Nollywood got its start in the late 1970s just after Nigeria had been through a civil war. In a time of crime and violence, many people wanted a safe form of entertainment. Dr Okome sees Nollywood as a sign of Nigeria’s vibrant cultural entrepreneurship. “It’s an industry financed by poor people, and it’s completely in control of itself,” he says, adding that “the industry changed how the society looks at itself.” 16■ Celebration of research & Innov ation

Dr Armstrong is an internationally recognized investigative cardiologist whose research has substantially improved the care of and outcomes for heart-attack patients. Recently, Dr Armstrong led a U of A research team that found a new way to treat the most deadly type of heart attack, the acute ST elevation myocardial infarction, which causes significant loss of blood flow to the heart. Dr Armstrong’s experiment trained paramedics to do a 12-lead electrocardiogram of the heart. In this way, the earliest caregivers could address the problem immediately. Using a cell phone, the paramedics send the results of the ECG to an on-call cardiologist’s laptop to confirm the diagnosis before the patient reaches the hospital. 20■ Celebration of research & Innov ation
