recipent of the 2009 CIC Montreal Medal. |
 | David Bremner - David Bremner holds Ph.D. in Computer Science from McGill University
(1997). David was an NSERC postdoctoral fellow in the Department of
Mathematics at the University of Washington from 1997 to 1999. Since
2000 David has been a faculty member at the University of New
Brunswick, and is currently a Professor of Computer Science
(cross-appointed to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics).
David has held visiting positions at the Technical University of
Munich (as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow), the Hausdorff Research
Institute for Mathematics. He is currently the MITACS Atlantic
Scientific Director. David's main research interests are in geometric
aspects of optimization, particularly algorithmic problems about
convex polyhedra and hyperplane arrangements. |
 | Hermann Brunner - Professor Emeritus at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He received his Ph.D. in 1969 from ETH-Z (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich) and was a faculty member at Dalhousie University, the University
of Munster (Germany) and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) before joining
MUN in 1986. He held visiting professorships at the University of Dundee (Scotland), CWI (Centre for Mathematics and Informatics, Amsterdam), ETH-Z and
the University of Trieste (Italy), and he is currently a visiting professor at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland) and at Hong Kong Baptist University.
From 1999-2005 he was Director of AARMS, and he was elected a Fellow of the
Fields Institute in 2006. His main research interests are in the numerical analysis of
Volterra functional integral and differential equations.

 | Paul Muir - Professor, Department of Mathematics and Computing Science, Saint Mary's University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1984 in Computer Science (Numerical Analysis). Dr. Muir's research is in the general area of numerical analysis; his specialties include the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, with emphasis on boundary value ordinary differential equations and Runge-Kutta methods, and the adaptive method-of-lines solution of partial differential equations with collocation methods. |
 | Peter Russell - Director of CRM. He obtained his PH.D from UC Berkeley in 1966 under the direction of Maxwell Rosenlicht. After spending three years as a Benjamin Pierce Instructor at Harvard University he joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of McGill University. He retired from McGill in 2009. He served as chair of his Department from 1988 to 1994 and as director of the Institut des Sciences Mathematiques in 1995/96 and from 2000 to 2004. He was Vice President for Quebec of the CMS from 1991 to 1993 and a member of the nominating committee from 1993 to 1995. His research is in algebraic geometry, in particular affine algebraic geometry, a sub discipline on the border of algebra, algebraic geometry and topology. He also has an abiding interest in positive characteristic geometry. |
