"PASEA is truly a team effort, so we celebrate this award with our fellow co-directors, our instructor team and our inspiring students and alumni from around the African continent.</p> <p>"For me personally, I love helping students follow their curiosity about the universe and collaborate with others to solve astronomy questions they're excited about. I also love helping instructors learn new ways of teaching astronomy.</p> <p>"I hope this recognition from the IAU may strengthen all efforts working towards astronomy for development in Africa.”</p> <p>Strubbe’s post-doctoral research at CITA saw her focus on the tidal disruption of stars by massive black holes in the centre of galaxies, before she transitioned to a career in science education and consulting.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.cita.utoronto.ca/former-cita-postdoctoral-fellow-receives-2024-iau-astronomy-education-prize/">Read the CITA story</a></h3> <h3><a href="https://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau2407/">Read the IAU announcement</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">CITA</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, 30 Jul 2024 14:44:32 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 308773 at Dick Bond elected Foreign Fellow of Indian National Science Academy /celebrates/dick-bond-elected-foreign-fellow-indian-national-science-academy <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Dick Bond elected Foreign Fellow of Indian National Science Academy</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>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2023-11-01T10:25:42-04:00" title="Wednesday, November 1, 2023 - 10:25" class="datetime">Wed, 11/01/2023 - 10:25</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/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</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/cita" hreflang="en">CITA</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</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/2023-10/J.-Richard-Bond-crop.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="&quot;&quot;"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>Dick Bond (supplied image)</em></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/">University Professor</a> <strong>Dick Bond</strong> of the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science has been elected a Foreign Fellow of <a href="https://insaindia.res.in/">the Indian National Science Academy</a> (INSA), effective January 1, 2024.</p> <p>Established in 1935, INSA promotes science in India, harnessing scientific knowledge for the cause of humanity and national welfare. Bond is one of six researchers in the latest cohort of foreign fellows and the only one at a Canadian institution.</p> <p>Bond is a cosmologist whose theoretical research interests include the physics of the very early universe, the origin and evolution of cosmic structure, and problems presented by dark matter and dark energy. He was cited by INSA for his pioneering work in the field, specifically for demonstrating that slight variations in the cosmic microwave background radiation contain precious information regarding the shape, size, age and composition of the universe.</p> <p>During his decades-long partnership with the Indian scientific community, Bond helped establish the <a href="https://www.iucaa.in/en/">Inter-University Centre for Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics</a> in Pune and has attracted many Indian postdoctoral researchers to CITA, many of whom are now leaders in the field.</p> <p>“This is just as much an honour for CITA given its long-standing role in contributing to and supporting the development of Indian science, particularly in the areas of astrophysics and cosmology,” said Bond. “I have had the privilege of building relationships with scientists across India over many years and am grateful for this recognition.</p> <p>“I’m proud to further cement CITA’s entanglement with the Indian scientific community alongside so many renowned Indian researchers and fellow foreign fellows.”</p> <h4><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/dick-bond-elected-foreign-fellow-indian-national-science-academy">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h4> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</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, 01 Nov 2023 14:25:42 +0000 lanthierj 303995 at Dick Bond honoured by Canadian and American physics communities /celebrates/dick-bond-honoured-canadian-and-american-physics-communities <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Dick Bond honoured by Canadian and American physics communities</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>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2023-10-24T14:57:26-04:00" title="Tuesday, October 24, 2023 - 14:57" class="datetime">Tue, 10/24/2023 - 14:57</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/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</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/cita" hreflang="en">CITA</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</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/2023-10/J.-Richard-Bond-crop_0.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="&quot;&quot;"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>Dick Bond (supplied image)</em></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/#section_1">University Professor</a> <strong>Richard Bond</strong> of the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science’s <a href="https://www.cita.utoronto.ca/">Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics</a> (CITA), has received prestigious honours from the Canadian and American physics communities.</p> <p>The Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) <a href="https://www.cap.ca/programs/recognitions/post-graduate-physicists/fellows-program/">has named Bond a CAP Fellow</a>, a distinction previously bestowed on Canadian Nobel laureates Arthur B. McDonald and Donna Strickland. The distinction recognizes an individual’s contributions to the Canadian physics community and to physics research.</p> <p>The American Physical Society, meanwhile, awarded Bond <a href="https://aps.org/programs/honors/prizes/bethe.cfm">the Hans A. Bethe Prize</a> for developing conceptual and quantitative tools that have enabled cosmologists to measure the geometry, content and age of the universe.</p> <p>“We are very excited to celebrate Professor Bond receiving these honours,” Dean <strong>Melanie Woodin</strong> says. “CITA has always been a jewel in U of T’s crown and Bond is one of the reasons for the institute’s reputation and achievements. He has helped us better understand the fundamental nature of the universe, so it is no surprise that the physics community is honouring him with these distinctions.”</p> <p>Throughout his distinguished career, Bond has investigated the physics of the very early universe, dark matter and dark energy, particle and gravitational theory and the origin and evolution of cosmic structure, among other mysteries of the universe. Along with coining the term “cosmic web” to describe the strands of matter connecting galaxies, Bond is perhaps best known for developing the theory and analysis of cosmic microwave background radiation fluctuations into a high precision tool for exploring the cosmos.</p> <h4><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/theoretical-astrophysicist-dick-bond-receives-honours-canadian-and-american-physics-communities">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h4> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</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, 24 Oct 2023 18:57:26 +0000 lanthierj 304032 at Canadian collaboration including U of T astronomers wins Berkeley prize /celebrates/canadian-collaboration-including-u-t-astronomers-wins-berkeley-prize <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Canadian collaboration including U of T astronomers wins Berkeley prize</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>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2021-11-22T16:58:18-05:00" title="Monday, November 22, 2021 - 16:58" class="datetime">Mon, 11/22/2021 - 16:58</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/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</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/berkeley-prize" hreflang="en">Berkeley Prize</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/cita" hreflang="en">CITA</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/dunlap-institute-astronomy-astrophysics" hreflang="en">Dunlap Institute for Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</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/2023-04/story%2010-CHIME-2_1200px%20%281%29-crop.jpeg" width="750" height="500" alt="The&nbsp;CHIME radio telescope"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>(Photo by Andre Renard )</p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment fast radio burst (CHIME/FRB) team will receive the American Astronomical Society’s (AAS) 2022&nbsp;<a href="https://aas.org/grants-and-prizes/lancelot-m-berkeley-new-york-community-trust-prize-meritorious-work-astronomy" target="_blank">Lancelot M.
