Carleton University Achievement Awards 2019<\/h2>\n

The Carleton University Achievement Awards are bestowed annually in recognition of the distinction of our faculty, instructors and librarians.<\/p>\n

The pursuit of excellence in teaching and research are foundations of Carleton University. Our faculty, instructors and librarians are passionate about their work and dedicated to making an impact on students in scholarly fields of expertise, in contributions to our community, and in making a difference by solving real societal challenges. Without question, our Achievement Award recipients excel in their efforts.<\/p>\n

Members of the Department of Biology picked up the following achievement awards:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Teaching Achievement Award<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Teaching Achievement Awards are intended to enhance the teaching of their recipients and the quality of instruction at Carleton.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jeff Dawson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Associate Professor<\/p>\n

Andy Adler<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Canada Research Professor in Biomedical Engineering,\u00a0Systems and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Design<\/p>\n

Instrumentation for Human Performance \u2013 Instructional Modules for Interdisciplinary Collaborative Student-Centred Learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Instrumentation for measuring and improving human performance is becoming ubiquitous, whether for sport, rehabilitation or lifestyle. Effectively using and interpreting data from these devices, however, is inherently a multi-disciplinary challenge requiring knowledge spanning several disciplines. This award will realize a suite of student-centred modules that bring biology and engineering students together to work collaboratively on student-generated, authentic, research questions. The modules will facilitate new (or enhance current) courses by giving students real-world, practical, skills<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Professional Achievement Award<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Professional Achievement Awards recognize outstanding professional achievements at Carleton University for\u00a0professional librarians<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0instructors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nigel Waltho<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Instructor III<\/p>\n

Canadian Scientific Research Diver \u2013 a Carleton Project<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a coral reef ecologist who teaches scuba-based research field courses in the Bahamas it\u2019s becoming increasingly evident that our Undergraduate and Graduate certified divers are poorly trained to partake in research diving. With the aid of this award Carleton University is moving into position to lead all Ontario universities in producing a new 2\u00bd week Canadian Scientific Diver research field course. This award will help address Federal Laws and the Canadian Association of Underwater Scientists requirements for research dive training.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Research Achievement Award<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Carleton University Research Achievement Awards are administered by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International). The purpose of these awards is to recognize outstanding research achievements. The awards were established in 1989 to enhance the quality of research and to recognize research excellence. The recipients\u2019 terms run from May to April.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alex Wong<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Associate Professor<\/p>\n

Project:\u00a0Genetic Background and the Persistence of Antimicrobial Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prof. Wong\u2019s research program focuses on bacterial evolution, with an emphasis on the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. His team\u2019s recent work has examined the genetic mechanisms of resistance, and the consequences that resistance mutations have for an individual\u2019s fitness \u2013 for example, many resistant microbes suffer a fitness cost in the absence of antibiotics. He and his team will investigate the impact of genetic background on the evolution of resistance. This work will have important implications for predicting the evolution and persistence of resistance.<\/p>\n
