So an award like this is very encouraging, and it’s truly a great honour."</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/daniel-lysak-awarded-dean-doctoral-excellence-scholarship">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">FAS</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 03 Sep 2024 16:25:24 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 309168 at Diana Valencia receives Guggenheim Fellowship /celebrates/diana-valencia-receives-guggenheim-fellowship <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Diana Valencia receives Guggenheim Fellowship</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>siddiq22</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2023-07-21T12:35:26-04:00" title="Friday, July 21, 2023 - 12:35" class="datetime">Fri, 07/21/2023 - 12:35</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/scarborough" hreflang="en">Scarborough</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-physical-and-environmental-sciences" hreflang="en">Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/guggenheim-fellowships" hreflang="en">Guggenheim Fellowships</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/university-toronto-scarborough" hreflang="en">University of Toronto Scarborough</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-07/Unknown_0.jpeg" width="750" height="500" alt="Diana Valencia"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>Diana Valencia (supplied photo)</em></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Astrophysicist <a href="https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/physsci/diana-valencia"><strong>Diana Valencia</strong></a>&nbsp;has received a <a href="https://www.gf.org/fellows/diana-valencia-pineda/">2023 Guggenheim Fellowship</a>&nbsp;for her research on what makes up planets. ​​​</p> <p>An associate professor in the department of physical and environmental sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough, Valencia was among the 171 fellows <a href="https://www.gf.org/news/foundation-news/announcing-the-2023-guggenheim-fellows/">honoured with the&nbsp;prestigious award in April</a>.</p> <p>About 3,000 researchers, scholars and artists apply for the award each year.

She developed the first interior model and first mass-radius relationship for rocky exoplanets (1-10 Earth masses). Her exploration into the possibility of plate tectonics on super-Earths spurred a lively debate in the field that continues today.</p> <p>She has also explored the composition of these planets, which has been essential for comparing them to Earth and other exoplanets. Her work on exoplanet GJ 1214b, in particular, has inspired atmospheric observations of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes to better determine their composition.</p> <h3><a href="https://utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/news-events/breaking-research/utsc-researcher-awarded-international-prize-work-exoplanets">Read the 鶹ֱapp Scarborough story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTSC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 03 Nov 2021 15:43:10 +0000 lanthierj 171178 at PhD student recognized for academic achievement and potential to improve society /celebrates/phd-student-recognized-academic-achievement-and-potential-improve-society <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">PhD student recognized for academic achievement and potential to improve society</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/academic-achievement" hreflang="en">Academic Achievement</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2019-10-09T15:13:30-04:00" title="Wednesday, October 9, 2019 - 15:13" class="datetime">Wed, 10/09/2019 - 15:13</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/students" hreflang="en">Students</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/scarborough" hreflang="en">Scarborough</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-physical-and-environmental-sciences" hreflang="en">Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/graduate-students" hreflang="en">Graduate Students</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/umiujaq_fm_radio_with_annie_-_1_0.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="Megan Sheremata and Annie Novalinga"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item">Megan Sheremata (left) works with local community members, such as research associate Annie Novalinga (photo courtesy of Megan Sheremata)</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>PhD candidate <strong>Megan Sheremata</strong> has won a $15,000 award that recognizes women in the U.S. and Canada pursuing a doctorate-level degree.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.peointernational.org/about-peo">The PEO Scholar Award recognizes women</a> for high academic achievement and their potential to have a positive&nbsp;impact on society.</p> <p>For her doctoral research, Sheremata, a student at 鶹ֱapp Scarborough, collaborates&nbsp;with four Inuit communities in eastern Hudson Bay: Kuujjuaraapik; Umiujaq; Inukjuak of Nunavik (the Inuit territory of Northern Quebec) and Sanikiluaq, on the Belcher Islands of Nunavut.&nbsp;Her work focuses on Inuit knowledge of environmental change, with the goal of mobilizing&nbsp;Inuit knowledge so that policy-makers and researchers can better support Inuit priorities in the region.</p> <h3><a href="https://utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/our-community/phd-candidates-work-engages-inuit-knowledge-understand-environmental-change">Read the 鶹ֱapp Scarborough story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTSC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 09 Oct 2019 19:13:30 +0000 lanthierj 160194 at
