The CAP congratulates Professor René Doyon, Université de Montréal, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Experimental Astrophysics and Exoplanetary Science, and Director of the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets and the Mont-Mégantic Observatory, who has been awarded the 2025 Killam Prize in Natural Sciences for his work in experimental astrophysics and the study of exoplanets. Read more about Professor Doyon and his career in this article appearing in udemnovelles.
The CAP also congratulates Professor Simon Caron-Huot, McGill University, who has been awarded one of eight Dorothy Killam Fellowship for his project: Deepening our understanding of particle physics. The Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) awarded Caron-Huot the 2021 CAP Herzberg Medal for “his creation and development of nonperturbative techniques in conformal field theory, thereby opening the way to broad-ranging applications from particle physics to condensed matter physics”.
The Killam Prizes are awarded annually to active Canadian scholars who have made a substantial and significant contribution to their respective fields in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences or engineering. A Dorothy Killam Fellow is a leading researcher whose superior, ground-breaking, best-in-class research stands to have significant impact on a national or global scale.
