She is the <a href=\"https:\/\/research.physics.carleton.ca\/atlas\">ATLAS<\/a> deputy spokesperson at CERN\u2014the European organization for nuclear research. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Vincter has also been honoured with a Canada Research Chair, Killam Research Fellowship and Humboldt Fellowship.

Her research program exploring the standard model of particle physics has been critical to the advancement of this field. Vincter is an active leader on scientific advisory councils and a valued mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Vincter is a member of the advisory committee of the 30th International&nbsp;Symposium on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies, which gives her the opportunity&nbsp;to plan one of the biggest conferences in her field this coming January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Royal Society of Canada awards its Henry Marshall Tory Medal on a biennial basis for outstanding research in any branch of astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or an allied science. The medal was established in 1941 by Henry Marshall Tory (1864\u20131947). He was a Fellow of the RSC, a founder of the Universities of British Columbia and Alberta, the National Research Council Laboratories and Carleton University, and president of the RSC from 1939\u20131940. He bequeathed funds upon his death in 1947 to endow the medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Contact<br>\n<\/strong>Steven Reid (he\/him)<br>\nMedia Relations Officer<br>\nCarleton University<br>\n613-265-6613<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:Steven.Reid3@carleton.ca\">Steven.Reid3@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us on Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Cunewsroom\">www.twitter.com\/Cunewsroom<\/a><br>\nCOVID 19 Updates:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/coronavirus-covid-19\/messages\/\">https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/coronavirus-covid-19\/messages\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carleton University\u2019s Manuella Vincter, professor in the Department of Physics, has received the Henry Marshall Tory Medal from the Royal Society of Canada (RSC).
