ChemE Alum Receives Order of Canada
William Breukelman (ChemE 5T5), chair of Business Arts and co-founder of Imax, was recently named an officer of the Order of Canada in recognition for his entrepreneurship as head of these pioneering imaging companies.
Breukelman joins Barry French (ChemE 5T5) who became an officer of the Order of Canada in 2007. French was part of the three person team that performed calculations on slide rules, which aided in the safe return of Apollo 13.

PhD Student Wins a Students Discovery Award
Alex Dumitrache, supervised by Professor Grant Allen, is ChemE's first PhD student to receive the Department's new Students Discovery Award, an honour that recognizes publications by grad students. If you're a current ChemE grad student, you might qualify for the award as well. For details, click here.
Editorial Correction
In the Students Discovery Award announcement that appeared in the Friday, November 1 issue of CHEM ENG NEWS, the story should have cited Professor A.F. Yakunin as Sofia Lemak's MASc supervisor. CHEM ENG NEWS regrets this error. To learn more about the award, click here.
