Annual Report 2007

From the Desk of the Dean On September 10, 2007, the University revealed the results of its new branding exercise launching a new logo, new colours and a new tag line, ‘Thinking Forward’. Thinking Forward is easy for the Faculty of Science to embrace; it’s something we have been doing for the past several years. My efforts and those of faculty members and staff to strive for excellence in research, teaching and service are founded on a commitment to providing not only the necessary environment but also the necessary resources and encouragement for everyone in the Faculty, especially our students to achieve their fullest potential. Consequently, the Faculty is doing its part to strenghten the University’s core values and to ensure that the mission of ‘taking responsibility for delivering change in the community and the world that surrounds it’ is fulfilled. In 2007, our efforts did not go unnoticed or unrewarded. Our research profile on the international and national stage is advancing as faculty members continue to win prestigious awards for outstanding contributions to their research fields and for the innovative application of breakthrough technology. The research programs of several faculty members were acknowledged as worthy of substantial external funding. The faith of the local community in the Faculty was demonstrated by Leamington Council when they voted to transfer property to the University for an environmental research station. This initiative was spearheaded by Science faculty. The tradition of Science faculty as excellent educators continues with two faculty members receiving Provincial recognition for their outstanding teaching ability, passion and dedication to students. Two others were acknowledged at the University level for their commitment to quality instruction and dedication. The highest honours on campus for students – The Governor General’s Medal, The President’s medal, the Ron Ianni Student of the Year - were all awarded to Science students. Community involvement in our Faculty of Science Seminar Series and Science Cafés increases every year and strides have been made in improving the relationship with local Boards of Education through ASPIRE, YSTOP and departmental recruitment initiatives. Specifically, motivated by a common desire of its faculty, staff and students to excel, over the past year the Faculty of Science has: • •

From the Desk of the Dean • •

Celebrated one of its Alumni on the recognition he received from the Alumni Board of Directors - Dr. Patrick Caines received the 2007 Alumni Award of Merit. Pro-actively promoted the Faculty in various media.

Whether the Thinking Forward strategies undertaken in Science this year – crusading for the dedication of research space to scientists on the third floor of the new Medical building; advocating for the rationalization of space for Science in Essex Hall once it no longer houses Engineering; investing time and resources into developing a feasible approach to animal care management; proactively recruiting graduate students to campus - reap future rewards remains to be seen. Be assured though, that every attempt has been made, and will continue to be made, on my part to favourably position the Faculty before the end of my term in June 2008. For the past several years, the successes of the Faculty of Science have been documented in its Annual Report. Every year I revel and am filled with tremendous pride at how the Faculty consistently reaches or exceeds the level of achievement of the previous year. I know that there is often a personal cost associated with my challenge for faculty, staff and students to pursue excellence in their endeavours. My sincerest thanks to those who make the sacrifice. Whether the perfect blend for success is Research, Teaching, Service; Skilled, Supportive, Dedicated; or Scholarship, Leadership, Diligence; the Faculty of Science has demonstrated yet again that we have them all.

Dr. Richard J. Caron Dean, Faculty of Science University of Windsor

The Chemistry program emphasizes chemistry in the ‘real world’ with a focus on industrial applications including such areas as pharmaceuticals, polymers, petrochemicals and high technology materials. Biochemistry explores the chemistry of biological processes at the molecular level involving the study of protein/nucleic acid structure and function, drug design, DNA science, proteomics and enzymes. The ongoing and expanding research programs in the department are at the forefront of their respective fields and both the new and established faculty are recognized internationally for their excellence in research. The department is home to the Centre for Catalysis and Materials Research. Faculty expertise exists in the following areas: inorganic chemistry and materials, organic chemistry, physical and analytical chemistry, polymer chemistry, biochemistry, computational biochemistry, environmental analytical chemistry and toxicology, supramolecular chemistry and organometallic chemistry. School of Computer Science The goal of the School of Computer Science is to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to develop and apply techniques that will advance the interaction of person and machine. This synergy offers the best hope for finding solutions to pressing world problems requiring the analysis of vast amounts of data. Faculty expertise exists in Databases: distributed query optimization, multimedia databases, distributed object based systems, data warehousing, data mining; Artificial Intelligence: natural language processing, intelligent agents, information retrieval, pattern recognition, advanced search methods, evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms, uncertain reasoning, probabilistic graphic models; Software Engineering: programming language design, software application modeling, process formalization, formal methods, semantic web, software re-engineering; High Performance Computing: cluster and grid computing; Networks: survivable optical networks/routing and topology design, security; Computer Vision; Theory: algorithms, computational geometry, graph algorithms; and Bioinformatics. Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences In January 2007, the name of the Department of Earth Sciences was changed to the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences to more accurately reflect the emphasis on the environment incorporated into many of its undergraduate programs; including environmental science and environmental geoscience. The Department is also a major partner in the environmental studies program. The Earth and Environmental Sciences Department offers a multidisciplinary program that includes geology, environmental geoscience, geoinformatics, environmental science, and physical geography and focuses on understanding the physical and chemical processes that shape the planet. Aspects of study include the exploration of natural resources, sustainable development of these resources, resource management, environmental assessment and remediation and global change. The Geology and Environmental Geoscience programs offered by the Department are designed to satisfy professional licensure requirements. There is a tradition of research excellence in the following areas: environmental, sedimentary, aqueous and hydrothermal geochemistry; igneous petrology; rock and paleomagnetism; geomicrobiology; GIS, remote sensing and their applications in environmental modeling and resource management; diagenesis and reservoir geology; mineral deposit geology and geophysics; geotectonics; and coastal geomorphology. 3

Description of Departments Department of Economics The Economics Department offers a strong undergraduate program taught by a mix of experienced senior faculty and eager young faculty. The program prepares students for employment and/or graduate school and professional programs such as Law. The small graduate program offers personal attention and a solid foundation for employment as an Economist or for further study in a Ph.D. Program. Research interests of faculty include: economics of information, risk and uncertainty, antitrust economics, microeconomic theory, game theory, applied econometrics and economic statistics, labour economics, law and economics, applied economics, applied microeconomics, non-parametric and semiparametric econometrics, costbenefit analysis, macroeconomic theory, monetary economics, macroeconomics, public finance, growth, environmental economics, social choice theory, and international trade and finance. Department of Mathematics and Statistics The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a broad spectrum of programs in mathematics, statistics, math and computer science, concurrent mathematics and education, and multi-disciplinary mathematical studies, and it offers courses that prepare students for careers in actuarial sciences. Its faculty members support the multi-disciplinary co-op program in operational research. It has faculty expertise in the areas of: statistical inference, biostatistics, applied statistics, multivariate analysis, mathematical statistics, applied probability, queueing theory, stochastic processes, functional analysis, abstract harmonic analysis, differential geometry, mathematical relativity, operational research, mathematical programming, optimization, Lie algebras, Lie groups and representation theory. The Department also offers a Statistical Consulting service, which provides services to the campus and the community at large. Department of Physics The Physics and High Technology programs offered by the Physics Department are divided into two main streams. One is Medical Physics to meet the rapidly rising needs for medical physicists to design and operate high technology medical equipment in hospitals. The second is designed to prepare students for leadership positions in both academic and industrial research, and to meet the employment needs of the Canadian high technology industry. For both streams, the combination of basic physical understanding with engineering and medical applications gives graduates the skills to keep pace with a rapidly changing technological world, and interactions of the program with industry through the co-op option keep it up to date with emerging directions in high technology. The research achievements of the physics faculty, with many awards and distinctions to their credit, make the Department one of the highest quality Physics Departments in Canada. All the faculty are active in research, with medical physics emerging as a new area of concentration. Other areas of research include: atomic and molecular physics, acoustic microscopy, relativity, and surface and thin film physics. Opportunities for undergraduate research give our students a competitive edge when they apply for co-op positions or permanent jobs when they graduate. Students must complete an accredited Master’s program in Medical Physics to become fully qualified.

New Faces in the Faculty Nedhal Al-Niday has assumed the position of Lab Technician in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Before coming to the University she had been a part-time instructor at St. Clair College for five years. She is really enjoying all aspects of her job as a lab technician – working with the lab co-ordinators, preparing the labs and the various materials and solutions required, and writing up experiments. Because she is concerned about the environment, Nedhal rides her bicycle whenever and wherever possible including riding to work. She only wishes it were more convenient to bicycle to other places in the city. Nehdal enjoys listening to classical music. According to Gulibahaer AiLi, the new glass washer in Biological Sciences, when she meets people they are quite surprised to learn that she is originally from China since she neither looks nor sounds Chinese. The more surprising fact is that Gulibahaer speaks five languages, English being the most recently added to her list after having spent considerable time in the Adult ESL program at the Mason Educational Centre. Gulibahaer has a university degree in Biology obtained in China.

Dr. Marcelo Arbex has joined the Department of Economics as a tenuretrack Assistant Professor having recently completed his PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Rather than returning to Brazil, Marcelo, his wife and 12 year old daughter decided to settle in Canada and had expected Windsor to be similar to the mid-western town in which they had been living. They were, therefore, pleasantly surprised at the urban-ness and diversity of the City. In his spare time Marcelo loves to bike along the riverfront and read anything not related to Economics. He revels in the fact that his daughter is an avid and serious swimmer; following in her father’s wake so to speak. Having spent several years on campus as a part time student in Liberal and Professional Studies, Ms. Jane Blackshaw enjoyed the campus environment so much she didn’t want to leave and so after several temporary assignments in various departments she eagerly accepted the position of Applied IT Program secretary in the School of Computer Science. The position is part-time which allows Jane ample time to pursue reading, knitting and walking. Jane is an equal opportunity reader. Books like "The Martian Chronicles", "Beowulf" “Harry Potter” and by Steven King may be found on her book shelf right alongside ‘chick-lit’ books like "Innocence" and "Elegance".

New Faces in the Faculty After having spent 10 years in Halifax, Dr. Margaret Cooper has returned to Ontario to join the Department of Biological Sciences as a one year Limited Term Assistant Professor. The similarities of Windsor to Halifax haven’t gone unnoticed – the waterfront, the nice campus, the bridge and the pedestrian scale of the city. She hesitates to say pedestrian friendliness of the city because she’s observed that drivers in Windsor aren’t inclined to stop at crosswalks or for pedestrians in general. Margaret’s position is primarily a teaching appointment and so she finds she has the time to indulge in her hobbies of reading and jogging both of which are much nicer past-times than sifting through seal poop; a job she found herself doing for one month in the South Shetland Islands after having obtained her PhD in seal foraging physiology. Young Cheol Jung has joined the Department of Economics as a 12 month limited term appointment coming to Windsor from the University of Ottawa where he is expected complete his PhD by November 2007. Windsor is the smallest city in which Young Cheol has ever lived and he is enjoying its small town friendliness. He is also eagerly anticipating its milder winters. Academics is Young Cheol’s second career having previously worked in Korean business world as an equity manager. His love of learning prompted him to leave his secure lifestyle and pursue higher education. Young Cheol enjoys travelling the world and anticipates that his next adventure will be a cross-country North American road-trip next summer. Dr. Michael Lau, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics accepted the position in the department because he was eager to join one of the top Canadian research groups in his field of Lie algebras. He also appreciated the genuine interest of his colleagues in quality education at both the graduate and undergraduate level. For their part, the Math and Stats department is thrilled that Michael chose to pursue a career in mathematics over becoming a park ranger. Having previously lived in cold climate areas (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Alberta and Ottawa) Michael loves the availability of good quality, local fruits and vegetables and thoroughly enjoys his daily bicycle commute to work along the riverfront trail. He only wishes that other areas of the city were as accessible to bicyclists and pedestrians.

New Faces in the Faculty Having previously worked in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as a research associate and lab technician, Ms. Rodica Leu has recently transferred to the position of lab technician in the Department of Biological Sciences. Rodica came to Windsor four years ago from Romania. She is family oriented and enjoys spending time at the park playing with her two daughters ages 7 and 2. Although kept active running after her children, Rodica would love to have more time to exercise. Classical music and classic movies are also her passion. Rodica says she has tremendous energy and people are often surprised by her capacity to find the resources to push things forward when everyone else is flagging. While a new face in the Faculty of Science, Robert Mavrinac is certainly not new to campus having been around the university for over 35 years, as a teenager, as a student of music, as a returning student of mathematics and computer science, and finally as an employee. Before assuming his position as the Server and Network Technician for the School of Computer Science in December 2006, Robert was the Assistant to the Dean - Computing in the Faculty of Engineering. Years ago, Robert was a classical guitarist and lutenist with a strong interest in early music. He built stringed musical instruments for a living between 1980 and 1990, mostly historical replicas of museum lutes and classical/early guitars. After a long hiatus, he’s recently taken up the guitar again to learn South American music, and is learning to play the tenor ukulele which is tuned like guitars from the 16th century. Next year, he hopes to once again start building instruments as a hobby. That’s when he expects his current building project to be finished; he’s completely renovating a house on his own, right down to the studs and brick walls. Sara McNorton is the new Anatomy Demonstrator in the Department of Biological Sciences coming to the University from the Applied Geonomics Technology Centre at Wayne State where she was a research assistant. Sara is thrilled to be teaching and to be back in Canada. She really enjoys the university environment. A travel bug at heart, Sara will jump at any opportunity to travel. After graduating with her undergraduate degree and while wrestling with the question ‘what do I want to do with my life’, she and her sister volunteered at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia working in the Athletes Village. All it took was a click of the mouse, a phone interview, and an adventuresome spirit.

14

New Faces in the Faculty Ms. Michelle Miglietta became a General Secretary in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in February 2007 after having spent five months as a temporary employee in the department. She came to the University after having spent 21 years at the Public School Board. Michelle enjoys travelling, especially cruising most recently to Bermuda. A Mediterranean cruise may be on the horizon. Perhaps Michelle is on a mission to discover the perfect landscape to capture in one of her oil paintings. Michelle also actively does Volunteer Work at the YMCA. Dr. Alex Mills has joined the Department of Biological Sciences as a three year Limited Term Assistant Professor primarily in a teaching capacity. He is pleased that his first year students are enthusiastic and keen to do well; making his career change from practicing law for nine years to teaching biology an easier transition. Alex loves to play recreational hockey, and enjoys bird watching and dragonfly hunting. His favourite feature of the city is the riverside park.

Dr. Monica Sauer is a one year Limited Term Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. Having taught last year as a sessional instructor at both the Scarborough and St. George campuses of the University of Toronto, Monica is delighted with the opportunity Windsor affords to teach comparatively smaller classes at a higher salary. It makes the challenge of the weekend drives back home to Toronto worthwhile. Monica is a member of the Canadian Senior Dragon Boat team and has competed in several international competitions which have taken her to Rome, Poland, South Africa, Shanghai and Berlin. Next year’s competition is much closer to home, Toronto. Monica’s extra-curricular activities are a natural extension of her interest in breast cancer research. Leaving his position as PDF at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Princeton University, and coming to Windsor to join the Department of Biological Sciences as an Assistant Professor was a great move for Dr. Andrew Swan – the job description was exactly what he was looking for; he was moving closer to family in southern Ontario, and being close to Detroit provided his wife, a genetic counsellor, with the opportunity to work at a large University hospital. The waterfront and the tremendous diversity of Windsor in terms of its population and restaurants were added benefits. When afforded the luxury of spare time, Andrew likes to read and visit museums. He also enjoys playing soccer, hockey, and squash. For the time being though, since time doesn’t usually permit, he will have to content himself with the exercise he gets from jogging or biking to work. 15

New Faces in the Faculty Deanna Tremblay has assumed the position of Biotechnology Coordinator for one year while Jane Sylvester is on temporary reassignment with the Liaison Office. Deanna grew up in Windsor but left to pursue an undergraduate degree at Brock University and a Master’s degree at Western. Outside of work her life is run by her soccer team. She has coached for the past nine years having had to give up playing the game herself at the age of eleven due to a back injury. Last year she coached girls under 13 years and this year may make the jump to girls under 16 years. Deanna’s husband is currently pursuing his PhD in Engineering at Windsor. Dr. Yu-Ling Tsai, is a 9 month Limited Term Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Over the past few years, Yu-Ling has accumulated quite a few frequent flyer miles travelling from British Columbia to Ontario to pursue her post-graduate studies in statistics at the UWO, then back to BC in the summer to visit family and for summer employment, and back to Ontario a few months later to assume her position at UWindsor. She’s considering cashing in her miles/points for DVD movie rental credits. Yu Ling enjoys spending her free time watching movies.

Dr. Zhuo Wang has joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as an Assistant Professor having left her position as a PDF at the University of Toronto. Zhuo was attracted to Windsor by; the reputation of excellent research in the department, its state-of-the-art research facilities, and the collegial and supportive environment within the department. Zhou likes the friendliness of the people in Windsor, its weather, and the abundant green spaces in the city. When not in the lab, she enjoys reading and hiking. Surprisingly, Windsor was the first city Zhuo stepped foot in when she arrived in Canada. Welcome back!

Service to the Academic Community Conferences Hosted in Windsor On February 9, 2007 about 51 people attended the “Designing Software for Complex, Real-Life Problems” workshop organized by the Southeastern Michigan Section of the IEEE and hosted on campus by the School of Computer Science. The workshop, held to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the IEEE Computer Society featured three key-note speakers. IEEE Chapter Chair, Dr. Genesan of Oakland University, spoke about smart sensor networks and applications. Problems relating to data integration and potential solutions using automated type-learning approaches to assist in extracting and combining web-published information were the focus of Wayne State’s Dr. Fotouhi’s presentation. Dr. J. McCuaig from the University of Guelph talked about her ongoing research in adapting software systems to users with different preferences and learning styles. Scholars from Europe, Asia, Australasia, and across North America came to campus June 1-3, 2007 to participate in the 16th International Workshop on Matrices & Statistics. The Workshop, intended to stimulate research in an informal setting and to foster the interaction of researchers in the interface between matrix theory and statistics was hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. It included both invited and contributed talks with an emphasis on related numerical linear algebra issues and numerical solution methods, relevant to problems arising in statistics. The journal Linear Algebra and its Applications will publish a special issue devoted to papers presented at the conference. On February 23, 2007, a group of researchers and graduate students from the research group of renowned organic chemist Gerhard Erker travelled from the University of Muenster visited Windsor for a one-day symposium celebrating its ongoing collaboration with the lab of Chemistry professor Doug Stephan. The symposium focused on energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly methods for the production of plastics and other chemical products. The close cooperation Dr. Stephan enjoys with the Erker group provides terrific opportunities for students from both labs.

Collaboration: Graduate students and researchers from Windsor's Stephan lab and Muenster's Erker group conducted a one-day symposium of their work. Chemistry professor Doug Stephan is at the right end of the front row.

The Contribution of Professors Emeriti The rank of Professor Emeritus is a privilege conferred on a faculty member who has retired or ceased employment at the University at a late career stage, normally at the rank of Professor. This title is currently bestowed upon 32 faculty members. About 20 of these remain active in the University community, with five continuing to hold individual NSERC Discovery Grants in the amount of almost $158,690. Although officially retired, many Professors Emeriti continue to bring esteem to the Faculty and to make significant contributions to students and to their disciplines. Here are some highlights. The Dean of Science hosted a Professors Emeriti luncheon on January 24, 2007 at The Windsor Club. The luncheon provided a forum for soliciting their input and insights on some matters of interest to the Faculty and to the University at large e.g. the creation of an honours college. As a token of appreciation, the Professors were presented with a Faculty of Science umbrella.

Dr. Bill Baylis, University Professor Emeritus of the Department of Physics continues to represent the University on the Board of Directors, Canada South Science City and remains active in representing the Department in various capacities e.g. at the Ontario University Fair and the Windsor Regional Science, Technology and Engineering Fair. Dr. J. William McConkey, F.R.S.C. and University Professor Emeritus of the Department of Physics has recently returned to Windsor after having spent the past two years as a National Academies of Science Senior Research Fellow at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The Contribution of Professors Emeriti Dr. Bruce McGarvey, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry received recognition from Coordination Chemistry Reviews, Elsevier, Oxford, UK for having the “Most Cited Paper: 2003-2006” - “Structure, chemical and photochemical reactivity and biological activity of some ruthenium amine nitrosyl complexes”. In his capacity as Director of Program Accreditations for the Canadian Society for Chemistry Dr. John McIntosh, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry visited the United Arab Emirates University in 2007 as well as arranged the accreditations of several Canadian Chemistry Departments. Dr. Datta Pillay, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Biological Sciences is Chair of the University United Way Campaign and Member of the Joint Consultative Committee University/WURA. He also arranged a conference involving an International Automotive Trade delegation from India on behalf of the Consulate General of India, Toronto, Canada which took place on November 2, 2006 at Hilton Hotel. In June 2007, Dr. Pillay participated in a Satellite Video Conference between, Ontario, Canada and Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai in India on Auto Trade at the University Video Conference Centre. Dr. Peter Sale, University Professor Emeritus of the Department of Biological Sciences continues to run the Caribbean project (part of the World Bank- U Queensland project - Coral Reef Targeted Research Project) and also a large Dubai project which got under way in January 2007. His final PhD student (through Windsor) is doing his research as part of that project, and in addition, he has a team of 3 PDF and 2 technicians located in Dubai. Dr. Ken Drouillard, Biological Sciences and GLIER is a co-PI on the project. Dr. Sale is also involved in a new Caribbean project on persistent organic pollutants in the coastal marine environment is hoping to play only a minor role with Ken Drouillard assuming more responsibility for the project. The book “Modern Electroplating”, written by Dr. Mordechay Schlesinger, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Physics was recently published in Chinese translation by the Beijing-based Chemical Industry Press. Now in its fourth edition, the 800-page monograph provides a thorough explanation of the principles and techniques of electroplating technology. Dr. Roger Thibert, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is Chair of the Animal Care Facility Renovation Planning Committee. Dr. Al Warner, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Biological Sciences is the Chair of the Animal Care Committee.

Part III: Undergraduate Students and Programs Overview of Undergraduate Student Enrolment As shown in Table 1, the Faculty of Science currently has a full time undergraduate enrolment of 1531.5 students – a decrease 42 students over last year but consistent with target levels. The figure reflects the bulk of the double cohort having completed their four year program. With respect to part time student enrolment, Table 1 reveals that the Faculty continues to experience a significant decrease in its number of part time students with enrolment in 2007 being 348.5. This represents 105 fewer students than in 2006 and a decrease of more than 50% over the past five years. Table 1: Faculty of Science Undergraduate Enrolment (Fall) 2001-2007 1

Overview of Undergraduate Student Enrolment As shown in Figure 1, the Faculty of Science is the second largest Faculty on campus in terms of full time undergraduate enrolment, a position it has retained from at least 1995. The Odette School of Business is a close third with an enrolment of 1516.5 students. Faculty of Science part time students currently constitute only 12.4% of total part time University enrolment, a level substantially lower than the peak of 26.3% experienced in 2001.

Overview of Undergraduate Student Enrolment As shown in Table 2, the number of female students pursuing Science at the University as a percent of the total has increased consistently over the past four years commencing in the double cohort year. The positive role model of recent female faculty hires and their efforts to involve themselves fully in recruitment exercises and as Faculty of Science representatives in the community at large undoubtedly contribute to promoting science as a career option for women. Table 3 provides a detailed examination of the geographic origin of Science students over the 2001-2006 period. Of particular note is the steady increase over the past few years in the percentage of students pursuing science programs at Windsor from Essex County. A corresponding decrease in the percentage of students attracted to the University from other parts of Ontario over this time frame is observed. Students from other Canadian provinces is shown to be insignificant and the recruitment of international students has increased slightly. The increase in the number of students from Essex County may be attributed to increased efforts to promote the quality of science programs in local secondary schools and to establish a relationship and better rapport with local area educators. Also, the generous scholarship packages offered to prospective students may be a deciding decision-making factor. Geographic origin information by Department is provided in Table 8 on page 41. The trends and patterns observed in this table will be closely examined so that future recruitment efforts and dollars are best spent. Since the competition for students in the southern Ontario catchment area is fierce among Ontario universities, perhaps recruitment efforts should be directed towards increasing the profile of the University of Windsor in other provinces.

Enrolment Trends by Department The distribution of the 1531.5 full time undergraduate students in the Faculty of Science by Department is presented in Table 4 and graphically in Figure 2B. It should be noted that at the request of the Faculty of Science, the Office of Institutional Analysis amended its counting practices in 2004 in order to more accurately assign students pursuing a General Science degree to their associated Department. Students formerly identified as ‘Science’ are now divided in a 60:40 ratio and assigned to the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of 1 Data obtained from the Office of Institutonal Analysis 10 Year Historical Student Enrolment webpage, Student Demographic information by Geographic Orign: 1997-2006 Fall Enrolment by Canadian Province by Department.

A close examination of student enrolment by Department (Tables 4 and 5) reveals the dynamic and dramatic changes that have occurred in student enrolments in the Faculty over the past few years which are not apparent in the overall Faculty figures. With the exception of Chemistry and Biochemistry which grew by 14 students or 3.5%, all departments experienced a decline or only a marginal increase of 1-2 students in undergraduate enrolment. Economics and Mathematics and Statistics experienced the largest percentage decreases in enrolment at -11.7%. For the first time in five years Biological Sciences has experienced a marginal decrease in enrolment of 10 students. It remains however, the largest Department in the Faculty with 37% of its full time undergraduate enrolment. While enrolment in Computer Science continues to decrease the rate of decline appears to have been stemmed.

Enrolment Trends by Deparment A graphic representation of enrolment trends by Department since 2001 is provided in Figure 3. It clearly shows the plummeting number of students in Computer Science from a peak in 2001 of 834.5 to 252 in 2007; the more than doubling of the enrolment in Mathematics and Statistics since 2001; and the dramatic change in the enrolment observed in the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry and Economics. Due to the significant change in enrolments by Department over the several years, the percentage distribution of students within the Faculty has changed dramatically since 2001. A comparison of the distribution in 2001 to that in 2007 is provided in Figure 2A (2001) and Figure 2B (2007). Table 6: Part Time Undergraduate Enrolment by Department (Fall) 2001-20071 Department

With the exception of Biological Sciences which experienced an increase in part time enrolment of about 40 students, part-time enrolment in all Departments has decreased over the past year. Over 55% of this decrease in part time enrolment (58 students of the total loss of 105) is attributed to fewer part time students enrolled in the School of Computer Science. (Refer to Table 6) Table 7 shows full time undergraduate enrolment by academic level and Department. The table reveals that Computer Science and Physics are the only Departments in Science to have experienced an increase in the number of first year students entering their programs. This may be the result of increased recruitment efforts on their part at the departmental level. The previously noted decrease in enrolment in Computer Science is not therefore due to fewer first year students entering the program but rather by students having completed their program of study. The observed decrease in fourth year students reflects that for the most part, the students entering university in the double cohort year (2003) have now graduated.

Enrolment Trends by Deparment Table 8 provides a detailed examination of geographic origin of students within the Faculty of Science by Department. In sharp contrast to most other Departments, where at least 60% of the students come from Essex County, only 17% of the students in Economics and 39% of the students in Computer Science originate from Essex County. With the exception of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Economics, the percentage distribution of Non Canadian students pursuing science programs at Windsor is increasing. Most notably, Earth and Environmental Sciences and Physics have increased the percentage of Non-Canadian students in their programs from 5% to 22% and 6% to 12% respectively.

Semester Enrolment Units An often-used measure of the undergraduate teaching and resource demands placed on a Faculty is the number of semester enrolment units or SEUs. While an SEU, which is one student in one class, is seen as a standard measure across the university, it is important to note that an SEU in a course with a lab is quite different than for a course without a lab. SEU information for the 2006-2007 academic year by Department is presented in Table 9. A graphic representation of the distribution by Department is provided in Figure 4. Biological Sciences teaches the largest number of SEUs in the Faculty at 6175, Computer Science the second largest number at 5600 and Mathematics and Statistics the third most students at 5496. As revealed in Table 10, the number of SEUs taught by both Biological Sciences and Earth and Environmental Sciences increased by more than 360 students over the previous year. The decrease in SEUs taught by Computer Science (466) corresponds to the observed decrease in enrolment.

Dean’s Student Award Reception On September 7, 2007 the Dean of Science hosted the 5th Annual Dean’s Student Awards Reception in recognition of the accomplishments of those receiving more than $1,000 in renewable entrance scholarships; appearing on the 2006-2007 Dean’s Honour Roll; and those receiving NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards. More than 300 science students were invited to the event. Each honouree was presented with a Faculty of Science embossed padfolio in acknowledgment of their success and academic achievement. It is a tradition to invite a Science alumnus to address the gathering and this year’s speaker was Nasr Saad and family. Nasr completed his doctorate in physics at the University of Windsor in 1980, and each of his four children followed in his footsteps studying science at UWindsor before launching professional careers. Dr. Saad is currently a teacher at Cardinal Carter High School in Leamington and says he is proud to counsel young people to study at the University of Windsor. It's a lesson his children took to heart. Wassim earned a biology degree here and is now a physician, Ghassan earned a physics degree and is now a dentist, Joumana earned a chemistry degree and is now a teacher, and the youngest, Alice, is in her fourth year studying optometry after two years in biology. Ghassan Saad said their varied careers prove that a degree from the University of Windsor "can take you anywhere." "It's a testament to how versatile a degree in science can be," he said. “The University of Windsor holds a special place for us. My family is grateful and proud of our connection." Having chosen to study at Windsor students attending the event were particularly receptive to his message.

The Saad Family are all University of Windsor Science alumni and were the featured speakers at the Dean’s Student Award Reception. The family boasts two teachers, one doctor, one dentist and an optometrist 51

Part IV: Graduate Students and Programs Graduate Student Enrolment It is with the education of graduate students that the dual roles of professors to teach and research converge to a single activity. Professors ensure that graduate students experience and learn of the latest innovations and discoveries, and graduate students work alongside professors to help push the frontiers of knowledge. In addition, graduate students play an important role in the teaching of undergraduate students through the supervision of labs and tutorials, the marking of tests and exams, and through one-on-one mentoring; and are an important part in the social fabric of a department.

Graduate Student Enrolment As shown in Table 15, the number of full time graduate students currently pursuing a Master’s or Doctoral degree in programs offered by the Faculty of Science is 196 and 105 respectively for a total of 301. This is 2 more graduate students than last year. The number of Master’s students has increased in the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Earth and Environmental Sciences by 7, 3, and 2 respectively. The number of students pursuing Master’s degrees in Economics, Computer Science and GLIER has decreased by 7, 5 and 2 respectively. An increase in the number of doctoral students has occurred in the Departments of Computer Science (4), Earth and Environmental Sciences (2) and GLIER (3). The number of doctoral students has decreased by 4 in Chemistry and Biochemistry and by 6 in Physics. As shown in Figure 7, the Faculty of Science no longer accommodates the largest percentage of graduate students attending the University. In some Departments it would appear that the capacity to accommodate the research programs of graduate students has been achieved and is indeed eroding. The increase in graduate student enrolments precipitated by the graduating double cohort class did not materialize.

2007 Governor General’s Gold Medal Winner At the October 20, 2007 Convocation ceremonies, Dr. Bobby Ellis, who graduated with his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biochemistry in October 2006 under the supervision of Dr. Charles Macdonald, was presented with the 2006-2007 Governor General's Gold Medal for outstanding academic excellence at the graduate level. He was the top student in Graduate Studies. Dr. Ellis currently holds an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship and is continuing his research at the University of California at Davis exploring the synthesis and reactivity of phosphorus and arsenic compounds. As the founder of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry’s Chemistry Magic Show—one of the department’s major outreach initiatives—Bobby Ellis introduced hundreds of the region’s young students to the wonders of chemistry. It was one of the University of Windsor experiences Dr. Ellis says helped prepare him for a career in research and education. He performed the first version of the magic show at Chapters during the release of the sixth Harry Potter book. An impressed parent wrote a letter to the Windsor Star, and the department contacted local schools to gauge interest. The various experiments performed during the show are linked to the public school curriculum and involve colour-changing reactions, making polymers, making alloys—and of course, lots of explosions. In 2006-2007, the magic show was performed in 27 local elementary schools by current graduate students in Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Graduate Funding and Scholarships The ability of our graduate students to attract external scholarships is one of many indications of the strength of our graduate programs.

Science Discovery Express Event On Thursday, October 11th at 8:05 p.m. the Science Discovery Express rolled into the Windsor train station carrying potential graduate students from universities along the Toronto-Windsor corridor. With current graduate students in the Faculty of Science acting as hosts, the visitors attended information sessions and other departmental activities on Friday, October 12th designed to encourage them to get on track with graduate studies in Science at Windsor. At the opening session visiting students learned first hand about the Windsor experience from Carly Griffin, PhD student in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry; were briefed on the application process and funding opportunities at Windsor by Dr. Michael Crawford, Associate Dean Faculty of Graduate Studies; and then heard about Science excellence at Windsor from Rick Caron, Dean of Science. Events throughout the day included departmental overviews highlighting faculty research programs; graduate student paper and poster presentations; laboratory, building and campus tours; meet and greet informal lunches; and one-on-one sit down sessions with potential supervisors. Students who otherwise knew little about the graduate programs offered in science at Windsor, and indeed little about Windsor at all, left with a very favourable impression of the Faculty, University and City. It remains to be seen if any of the students will “choo-choochoose” Windsor for their graduate studies. In the School of Computer Science, the Science Discovery Event was dovetailed with their 1st Annual Graduate Computer Science Conference, an event organized by and for current CS graduate students as a means of highlighting their achievements, raising awareness of on-going research, and fostering a sense of community in the academic environment of the School. About 40 CS Master’s and PhD students took part in the conference.

Visiting students from Brock, Guelph, Toronto, Wilfrid Laurier, Western and York enjoy the BioBeer reception hosted by the Department of Biological Sciences before boarding the VIA1 train home.

PART V: Science: The Research Faculty Universities have a social responsibility to create, acquire and disseminate knowledge. This responsibility is met in the Faculty of Science through its emphasis on the importance of research activity and research output. The Faculty of Science is fortunate to have a complement of nationally and internationally recognized scientists and early career scientists who undertake a wide range of research programs and attract significant amounts of external funding from a variety of federal and provincial agencies as well as through grants from the private sector. Over 8.12 million dollars in total funding from external sources committed in the support of research for 2007 is documented in this report. These funds will contribute to ensuring that the Faculty of Science and its researchers will continue to be an incubator for innovation and academic knowledge. Also documented in this section are the several academic and research distinctions bestowed up faculty members over the past year and the over 439 articles published in refereed journals and in those Conference Proceedings included in the Web of Science during 2006 and 2007.

Research Honours and Awards Canadian Association of Physicists Outstanding Achievement Award 2007 Dr. Roman Maev, Daimler/Chrysler Industrial Research Chair in Applied Solid State Physics and Material Characterization, Department of Physics, was the recipient of the Canadian Association of Physicists 2007 Outstanding Achievement Award in Industrial and Applied Physics. The award recognizes his outstanding contribution to the field of acoustic microscopy and the wide application of his research to a range of assembly line manufacturing processes. Dr. Maev’s research interests include the fundamentals of physical acoustics and ultrasonic imaging as well as studies of properties of heterogeneous micro-structures of materials and biomaterials.

68

Research Honours and Awards Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 - 2007 Dr. Sherah VanLaerhoven, Department of Biological Sciences and Academic Chair, Forensic Sciences Program was named a recipient of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 award. The annual awards program, established in 1995 by The Caldwell Partners, is designed to celebrate the achievements of 40 Canadians in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, who have reached a significant level of success before age 40. The 40 winners were selected from more than 1,400 nominees. Dr. VanLaerhoven is one of only two forensic entomologists in Canada, and is a pioneer in the field. She conducted and published Canada’s first experimental research in the area of forensic entomology in 1996 and developed a regional forensic entomology database for British Columbia — she is currently developing a similar database for Ontario. As well, she set up a forensic entomology research laboratory, one of only two in Canada, which includes high-security facilities for forensic investigations. Forensic entomology involves the use of insect evidence in forensic investigations. VanLaerhoven’s research has been used in a number of homicide cases and she has served as an expert witness for over a decade, most recently in the Regina vs. Truscott case. In addition to her work in forensic entomology, VanLaerhoven does research into the biological control of insect pests in forestry and agriculture. She is currently testing a native Canadian wasp parasite to control cabbage loopers in greenhouse vegetable production, and has researched the biological control of the southern pine beetle, which kills thousands of hectares of pine forest each year in the southern United States. Biological pest control not only saves money, but allows for reduction in the use of chemical pesticides, and protects soil, water, and air environments. .

Premier’s Catalyst Award for Innovation 2007 Technology and innovation are at the heart of Canada’s future economy and in 2005, with the launching of Tessonics Inc. the transference of academic knowledge and innovation into the marketplace was witnessed. Tessonics Inc., a new company, was born out of a joint initiative between the research team of Physics professor Dr. Roman Maev, NSERC/DaimlerChrysler Industrial Research Chair in Applied Solid State Physics and Material Characterization, and DaimlerChrysler. In recognition of the breakthrough technology embodied in the initiative, Dr. Maev was awarded a 2007 Premier's Catalyst Award for Innovation. Tessonics Inc.’s handheld spot-weld analyzer uses new physical principles - advanced high-tech electronics as well as ultrasonic imaging - to examine the weld’s internal material microstructure and identify possible flaws. The system has the potential to save manufacturers hundreds of million of dollars annually in quality control, and in just the first 18 months of Tessonics activity, has generated over $4 million in sales to automakers around the world.

69

Research Honours and Awards According to Dr. Maev, the award, which includes a research grant of $200,000, shows the value of applied sciences: "It's a good example of how universities can bring new business initiatives to the local community and to the province." He hopes to use the money to explore the potential for this ultrasonic imaging technology for use in biomedical research, possibly in conjunction with the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry – Windsor program, scheduled to open in 2008. "We already proved ourselves as serious partners for industry," Dr. Maev says. "This money is a gift as an opportunity to support student involvement in advanced research on our campus and to convince investors of the potential for biomedical diagnostical work."

Research and Scholarship Excellence Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Award Winners The Canada Research Chair funding program promotes leading-edge research and innovation and was created to keep Canada's academic community strong in the face of growing international competition. Over the past year, two Faculty of Science professors have been recognized as leaders and innovators in their fields of study and named Canada Research Chairs. There are currently six CRC’s in the Faculty. Dr. Aaron Fisk (left), Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and member of GLIER is a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Trophic Ecology. Dr. Fisk will receive $100,000 per year over the five years in support of this chair. Dr. Fisk’s research examines the structure, function, and flow of nutrients in aquatic food webs using natural and human-introduced chemical tracers. He is developing tools to study ecosystem structure which will provide new information on how ecosystems function and react to environmental stressors. Characterizing and understanding the influence of natural variation and manmade stress on food webs is essential for effective conservation, management and, ultimately, the health of sustainable ecosystems. 70

Research and Scholarship Excellence Dr. Robin Gras (right), School of Computer Science is a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Probabilistic Heuristics and Bioinformatics. Dr. Gras will receive $100,000 per year over the five years in support of this chair. Dr. Gras generates advanced artificial intelligence systems in order to develop a computational model that will sort through medical and biological information to aid researchers in everything from cancer research to mad cow disease. Gras says that although researchers have amassed enormous amounts of information on the inner workings of the human body – from cataloguing the more than 30,000 genes that make up the human genome, to complex models that explain how humans think, walk, grow, and perform countless other tasks – the technology to sort this information has lagged. He likens it to looking for something online without a search engine, such as Google. When medical researchers lack the right search engine, it can mean the difference between a major medical breakthrough and years of wasted time and energy. Gras’s research can help make sense of complex biological interactions by using a computerized set of rules and mathematical models that point scientists in the right direction. NSERC Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) Grants The objective of the NSERC CRD program is to give companies operating from a Canadian base access to the special knowledge, expertise and educational resources at Canadian postsecondary institutions and to offer opportunities for mutually beneficial collaborations that result in industrial or economic benefits to Canada. The grants support well-defined projects undertaken by university researchers and their private-sector partners. Dr. Doug Stephan, CRC in Catalysis and New Materials, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, received a NSERC CRD grant supported by Nova Chemicals in the amount of $210,000 ($70,000/year for three years). The contribution by Nova Chemicals is $225,000 (including overhead). NSERC Special Research Opportunities (SRO) Grant Dr. Doug Stephan, CRC in Catalysis and New Materials, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, received a NSERC SRO grant in the amount of $345,000 in support of his research into “Metal-free small molecule activation: a breakthrough in catalysis.” The method discovered by Dr. Stephan’s research team to capture and release hydrogen without the use of precious metals involves a compound called phosphonium borate, which takes on hydrogen at room temperature and releases it at temperatures above 100 C. Current methods involve catalysts like platinum or rhodium, which are expensive. Their findings, published in the journal Science, may have application in the economical development of fuel cells, as well as in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical and food industries. The SRO funds will be used to further investigate the potential applications of the process. Stephan’s hydrogen capture and release 71

Research and Scholarship Excellence process made NSERC’s inaugural Top 50 Discoveries list and patents for the new process have been filed. NSERC Strategic Projects Grants The objective of the Strategic Project Grants program is to increase research and training in targeted areas that could strongly enhance Canada’s economy, society and/or environment within the next ten years. Recipients of Strategic Projects grants in 2006 were” Dr. Daniel Heath, Department of Biological Sciences and GLIER received a grant in the amount of $476,000 over three years for the project “Adaptive genetic and physiological responses to aquatic contaminant stress”. Dr. Heath and his research team will determine how animals cope when faced with major contaminants from industry, agriculture and urbanization. Their work will use new methods developed to measure the contaminant response in brown bullhead fish to determine whether animals adapt to toxicological effects through short-term acclimation, or evolutionary longterm adaptation. Results will allow a better understanding of the effects of toxins in Canadian aquatic ecosystems and will help improve the success of remediation efforts. Co-applicants on the grant are Dr. Doug Haffner, CRC in Aquatic Toxology, Department of Biological Sciences and GLIER, Drs. Andrew Hubberstey, and Trevor Pitcher, Department of Biological Sciences, Dr. B. Dixon (Waterloo), Dr. B. Neff (Western) and Dr. N. Bernier (Guelph). Dr. Sherah VanLaerhoven, Department of Biological Sciences and Academic Chair, Forensic Sciences Program, received a grant in the amount of $466,088 over three years for the project “Ecosystem response to perturbation at multiple spatial scales.” Dr. VanLaerhoven will use greenhouses as models to study the interactions among plants, pest insects, beneficial insects and climate when exposed to different temperatures and different numbers of species of plants, pests or beneficial insects. She plans to build environments of different levels of complexity within greenhouses, then expose the system to temperature changes, changes in number and type of beneficial insects, and changes in the number of plants species present, in order to measure the role of these factors on environment.

72

Research and Scholarship Excellence Assumption University Chair in Cancer Research Dr. Lisa Porter, Department of Biological Sciences is the Assumption University Chair in Cancer Research. Dr. Porter will receive $40,000 per year for three years in support of this chair. Dr. Porter’s research is focused on elucidating mechanisms that regulate cell growth with a goal of developing novel therapeutics for specific forms of cancer. Together with a dedicated and talented team she employs advanced tissue culture techniques and animal models in order to study the implications that these mechanisms can have, not only in breast cancer, but also in brain cancer. Dr. Porter also holds a prestigious New Investigators Grant from the Canadian Institute for Health Research, and she has research funding from Cancer Research Society, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Windsor Regional Cancer Center and the Ontario Innovation Trust. NSERC University Faculty Award The NSERC University Faculty Awards Program was designed to increase the representation of women and Aboriginal peoples in faculty positions in the natural sciences and engineering by encouraging Canadian universities to appoint promising researchers in those groups to tenure track positions. Dr. Wai Ling Yee, Department of Mathematics and Statistics is a recipient of this prestigious award and will have her salary and research costs contributed to by NSERC in the amount of $200,000 over five years. Dr. Yee belongs to an international group of mathematicians studying the Unitary Dual Problem.

Dr. Wang’s work will examine a classical cost sharing problem in three parts - joint cost allocations, network sharing and solidarity in cost sharing.

Summary of Tri-Council Sources of Funding While NSERC Discovery grants are the major source of funding for on-going research in the Faculty, faculty members in certain Departments (most notably Economics) obtain their research funds from one of the other two national granting agencies, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research or the Social (CIHR) or the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). On rare occasion, it is also possible for a faculty member to have the distinction of holding grants from all three agencies. Table 21 and Figure 8 presents the distribution of research funds (2007 annual amounts) by Department obtained from Tri-Council sources of funding. The figures reported for the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry reflect the break through on the part of their searchers in obtaining CIHR funding. 82

Authorship One measure of the research strength of a Faculty is its catalogue of authorship in books and refereed journal articles. Listed in the following pages are books and contributions to books published in 2006 and 2007 as well as refereed articles appearing in print in 2006-2007. The list of articles in refereed journals was compiled on the basis of publications appearing in the Web of Science as well as those submitted for inclusion in this report by one of the authors. Only those refereed conference publications appearing in the Web of Science have been included. While the list, which has over 439 articles, is impressive, it is important to remember that is does not represent the full measure of the research strength of the Faculty. The names in bold font are faculty members. Where papers are co-authored by faculty members they are included under each author. These papers have, however, only been included in the tally once.

Part VI: A Commitment to Teaching Excellence The Faculty of Science is committed to teaching and readily accepts its responsibility to provide quality instruction to its students for the benefit of both Ontario and Canada. In recognition of this responsibility, the Faculty remains pro-active in seeking recognition and awards for some of its excellent professors. The Faculty is also indebted to the many qualified sessional instructors, listed at the end of this section, without whom the number of courses offered in 2007 would have been dramatically reduced.

Teaching Excellence Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) Teaching Award Dr. Aksahi Aggarwal, School of Computer Science was named one of the province’s most outstanding university teachers in 2006 by The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations. Dr. Aggarwal’s classes are described by his students as "absorbing" and "inspirational" where "every lecture becomes a voyage of discovery." His work on course and curriculum development is described by his colleagues as having put the University of Windsor on the map as a leader in computer science instruction and research. Dr. Aggarwal’s teaching and supervision practices are “characterized by an emphasis on practical and creative problem-solving, and by the fostering of independence, but in a highly supportive context.” He sees the university as an open arena capable of encouraging continuous growth and success for direct stake-holders as well as for society as a whole. A former student perhaps says it best when he comments that “Dr. Aggarwal is not only a professor, but a true facilitator of learning, intellectual exchange, and intellectual development in the field of Computer Science.” This is not the first award Dr. Aggarwal has received in recognition of his outstanding teaching ability, passion and dedication to students and to quality instruction. In 2006, he received the Alumni Award for Distinguished Contributions to University Teaching, the OPUS Faculty Award in 2005, and the Faculty of Science Teaching Score Award recipient for his department in 2001-2002, 2003-2004 and 2004-2005.

The award is given to faculty who influence, motivate and inspire students and demonstrate leadership in teaching methods for the diverse student body in Ontario. Winners receive $20,000 over two years to encourage continued excellence in the classroom setting. Dr. Frost was recognized as a faculty member who listens, helps, takes constructive action and maintains a high commitment to teaching and research. His SpeechWeb project, which involves applying advanced computer science theory to provide blind persons with speech access to the web, exemplifies enthusiasm and passion for innovation in teaching. Dr. Frost believes that the “primary role of faculty should be to motivate and encourage students to become fully engaged in learning,” and while maintaining their role as mentors, help “students reach their potential by creating well-organized courses with clear expectations, active student participation, and fair means of assessment.” Alumni Award for Distinguished Contributions to University Teaching In recognition of the unique energy and enthusiasm he brings to his classroom and laboratory, Dr. Siyaram Pandey, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was the recipient of an Alumni Teaching Award at the June 2007 Convocation Ceremonies. His level of commitment includes everything from extra tutorials and weekend office hours during mid-term exams to Halloween candy during the season. Dr. Pandey's affable personality combined with his ability to take a challenging subject and make it interesting, interactive, concise and logical are noted emphatically by his students. His colleagues credit his ability to understand and anticipate the needs of his students with his outstanding classroom success and appreciate his versatility in teaching at a variety of levels. He is noted for his innovative teaching style and his willingness to look to his students for advice and input on how he can continue to find ways to improve their learning experience. Dr. Pandey’s teaching philosophy reflects his versatility, integrity, and flair for creating a positive learning environment. He believes that “each class is a pool of budding scientists.” Teachers must make sure students are “interested in the subject, so 128

Teaching Excellence the learning becomes automatic...[I]nterest among students in the subject area ignites the curiosity in them to learn more.” Several professors from the Faculty of Science have received the Alumni Award for Distinguished Contributions to University Teaching Award in recognition of their outstanding teaching abilities, passion and dedication to students.

The award is presented to a faculty member who has demonstrated excellence in mentoring by offering personal, academic and professional guidance to students and has made significant contributions to their all-round development, leading to and following their graduation. Dr. Lee has played a significant role over many years in the lives of science students, particularly as a positive role model for female science students. In the letters of support for her nomination, former students extolled: “Dr. Lee was an excellent professor who facilitated her students to acquire the skills and resources needed to succeed in achieving our goals.” “Whether she is teaching us life lessons through her own experiences in school, or whether it’s by setting up extra information sessions for students interested in various career paths such as medicine, pharmacy etc – she definitely takes her commitment to her students a step further than the confines of the classroom.” 129

Teaching Excellence “When I shared the great news that I had been accepted into the University of Toronto medical school, Dr. Lee looked for other people from Windsor who were accepted into the same program. She acted as a liaison, encouraging us to correspond and get to know each other before starting medical school. Most importantly, she stimulated us to establish relationships with University of Windsor graduates who were in similar fields, knowing that team effort is paramount to working together successfully as future colleagues.” Previous recipients of this award from the Faculty of Science have been: Year

Part VII: In the Community As part of a publicly funded institution, the Faculty of Science has a responsibility to contribute to the community. I am pleased that our faculty members are involved in diverse activities, too numerous to document, that include memberships in service clubs and participation in community health organizations, civic advisory boards, cultural organizations, community associations, charities etc. Our public lectures as part of the Faculty of Science Seminar Series, our evolving partnerships with local secondary schools and the Canada South Science City; our GIS community-based partnerships, our support of the Windsor Regional Science Fair, Student Recruitment activities, and our various alumni and development initiatives are positive examples of our involvement in the community at large. Some of these activities are highlighted below.

The Establishment of an Environmental Research Centre The environment is an issue of paramount concern to Canadians and is one of the University of Windsor’s research and teaching pinnacles and priorities. Scientists in the Department of Biological Sciences, the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER), and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, as well as other AAUs of the University of Windsor, have dynamic research and teaching programs that would benefit from creating a University of Windsor environmental research centre. Such a centre would provide a home to research efforts of faculty and students, a focal area for collaborative field studies, a site for novel teaching initiatives, and a rural/natural presence that would foster greater interaction between the university and the community. Consequently, the establishment of an environmental research centre in close proximity to the University was actively pursued in 2007.

The starting point was the acquisition of a site upon which to develop the research centre. On the basis of criteria identified by potential users, a site within an hour’s drive of campus, in close proximity to Point Pelee National Park, Hillman Marsh Conservation Area, and Lake Erie was sought. Such a location would also have the added benefit of being unique in Canada; the only facility focused on research of Carolinian Forests and the ecology of Great Lakes.

The City of Leamington “Clay Pit” was identified as satisfying most of the location criteria with the exception that it is an inland site with no access to Lake Erie. The site, owned by the Municipality of Leamington, is a 22.3 acre property occupied by a lake in the old clay quarry, about 10 acres of overgrown fields, and a treeline along the fences. There is ample space to develop centre infrastructure (research/teaching labs, classrooms, dormitory & kitchen, analysis facility, secure field equipment storage facility, etc.) including both terrestrial and aquatic facilities. 133

The Establishment of an Environmental Research Centre

After several exploratory meetings to discuss the proposal, on Monday September 18, 2007 Leamington City Council voted to transfer the Leamington Quarry Site on Mersea Road 19 to the University of Windsor free of charge with the understanding that the University will develop an environmental research centre on the property. This gift of land is the first step in developing a world-class University of Windsor environmental research centre. Before the final transfer of ownership can occur, legal and liability considerations must be addressed including an environmental assessment, security arrangements, and the installation of land access infrastructure (fences, gates etc.). After the title to the land is secured, the project will move into Phase Two – facility planning and fund raising. Naturalization efforts in partnership with ERCA, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment Canada, and Parks Canada could commence but minimal basic infrastructure (sewer, power, water, basic living facilities) would need to be installed before the research centre could become operational for more than short-term visits by instructors and researchers. Phase Three involves the development of the advanced infrastructure which will allow the research centre to evolve into a world class destination for environmental research and teaching. To this end, a major funding raising initiative will have to be mounted.

Faculty of Science Seminar Series The Faculty of Science Seminar Series brings nationally and internationally recognized scientists to the University of Windsor as a means of advancing its own reputation and of benefiting the research culture on campus. Each speaker gives two talks: the first is to be suitable for a general audience and will be open to the public at large; the second a research oriented presentation delivered to the host department. These seminars are widely advertised to encourage the participation of local area high school teachers and students and interested individuals from the community at large. The distinguished speakers who participated in the Seminar Series in 2007 are highlighted below. On March 29, 2007, Dr. John Friedlander FRSC and Professor of computer and mathematical sciences at the University of Toronto presented a public lecture entitled “Prime Numbers: From Antiquity to your Credit Card” to an audience of about 100. In his presentation Dr. Friedlander demonstrated that while prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians for thousands of years, what was once considered a field of pure math has a practical application in the encryption of credit cards. In addition to the public lecture, Dr. Friedlander presented a scientific lecture entitled “Prime Values of Polynomials” to the faculty and students in Mathematics and Statistics, the department which hosted the visit.

On October 16, 2007, Dr. Carl Wieman, 2001 Nobel laureate in physics and Director of the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative at the University of British Columbia gave two presentations on campus. At an afternoon session, Dr. Wieman discussed the failures of traditional educational practices, comparing the fundamental learning experience of the classroom with that of the research lab to the broad university community. To about 120 people from the broad university community, Dr. Wieman postulated that "Guided by experimental tests of theory and practice, science has advanced rapidly in the past 500 years. Guided primarily by tradition and dogma, science education meanwhile has remained largely medieval. Research on how people learn is now revealing how many teachers badly misinterpret what students are thinking and learning from traditional science classes and exams. However, research is also providing insights on how to do much better. The combination of this research with modern information technology is 135

Faculty of Science Seminar Series setting the stage for a new approach that can provide the relevant and effective science education for all students that is needed for the 21st century.” In addition to his credentials as a Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Wieman was also the recipient of the Carnegie Foundation’s U.S. University Professor of the Year Award in 2004 and the 2007 American Association of Physics Teachers’ Oersted Medal. About 200 people from the community at large attended Dr. Wieman’s evening public presentation entitled “Bose-Einstein Condensation: Quantum weirdness at the lowest temperature in the universe.” In 1924, Albert Einstein predicted that a gas would undergo a dramatic transformation at a sufficiently low temperature, now known as Bose-Einstein condensation. Wieman’s research group observed this transformation in 1995 when it cooled a gas sample to the unprecedented temperature of less than 0.1 millionths of a degree above absolute zero. Using interactive animations to make the presentation suitable for his general audience, Dr. Wieman discussed the curious properties of Bose-Einstein condensation and how it is created in a laboratory environment. Dr. Wieman’s visit was organized by Dr. Chitra Rangan, Department of Physics and was co-sponsored by the Centre for Teaching and Learning.

On October 18, 2007, Dr. Jerry Lawless, FRSC, Department Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Waterloo, told an audience of about 150 people that society as we know it would not exist without the fields of probability and statistics. In a public lecture “The Science of Chance and Risk: Probability and Statistics in Modern Society,” Dr. Lawless demonstrated that probability is embedded in the fabric of society, from science to business and government, affecting areas as diverse as health, security and risk management. He traced the history of probability and statistics and showed how they developed in relation to societal needs. Dr. Lawless delivered a scientific lecture “Multivariate Failure Time Analysis” to faculty and students in the Department of Mathematics on October 19, 2007.

A Science Partnership in Research and Education (ASPIRE 2007) On Wednesday, February 28, 2007 the Faculty of Science hosted its second A Science Partnership In Research and Education (ASPIRE 2007) event providing a forum where university professors and Secondary School science teachers explored opportunities to collaborate as educators. In response to feedback received from participants, the focus of ASPIRE 2007 (February 28, 2007) was an information exchange and dialogue specifically related to fostering a mutual understanding of curriculum at the secondary and post-secondary level and to identifying potential enrichment opportunities utilizing resources available within the Faculty of Science. Conducting on campus departmental workshops as a follow up to the ASPIRE 2007 event was tentatively scheduled to occur during the last week of August 2007. Unfortunately, scheduling difficulties postponed the event. The feasibility of having the ASPIRE 2008 event on-campus is being explored.

138

ASPIRE 2007

More than 30 secondary school teachers and 20 faculty members participated in subject-based, round table discussions focused on identifying ways in which faculty and teachers could work together to enrich the learning experience of students and better prepare them for university.

Collaborations attributable to the ASPIRE initiative in 2007 include: -

-

the publication of a newsletter from the Dean of Science has been established as a means of documenting and communicating the various ASPIRE initiatives undertaken throughout the year; the publication of the first research paper of a UWindsor researcher translated into something easily understood by high school students. The end result was the paper “Invasive Fish Species Releases Love Potion” summarizing a paper by Don Gammon, a researcher in the lab of Dr. Lynda Corkum entitled “Behavioural responses of female (Neogobius melanostomus) to odours of conspecifics” published in the Journal of Fish Biology 67(3): 615-626, 2005. High school teachers are able to access the deconstructed paper through the ‘In the Community’ link found on the Faculty of Science webpage www.uwindsor.ca/science. faculty and University personnel making guest speaking appearances in local area classrooms.

YSTOP Workshops The Faculty of Science, in partnership with the Canada South Science City and with the support of a grant from the Youth Science and Technology Outreach Program, developed a series of Science Workshops aimed at getting Grade 10 students interested in careers in science. The workshops offered hands-on sessions in Materials Science, Numeracy, Health Science, Earth Sciences, Environmental Science, Physics and Computer Science. Programs in each of these disciplines were developed by professors and had two components. The first involved students working at an introductory level at Canada South Science City, acquiring basic skills in the discipline. The second involved advance skills in the discipline being taught and complemented with experiments and lab work conducted at the University of Windsor. The workshops conducted in 2007 are summarized in Table 22 on page 142.

YSTOP Cafés The Faculty of Science, in partnership with the Canada South Science City and with the support of a grant from the Youth Science and Technology Outreach Program, has developed a Science Café series featuring guest scientists speaking on ‘hot science topics’ e.g. issues in the news. The lectures are aimed towards a general audience including high school students, their parents and the public at large. To date, four extremely successful Science Cafés have been held: On December 5, 2006 Biological Sciences professor Dr. Dan Mennill explained his research team’s search for the ivory-billed woodpecker in the cypress swamps of Florida to a capacity crowd. Dr. Lee Foote, a professor in the University of Alberta's Department of Renewable Resources presented his talk entitled “Canada’s Polar Bears: Endangered Species or Abundant Renewable Harvest?” on January 11, 2007. Some are urging government to reclassify polar bears as a threatened species. Others maintain that bear populations are not threatened and that hunting them is sustainable and important for human welfare. In his talk, Dr. Foote explored the merits of each argument, the potential winners and losers, and the hype surrounding the issue. The Hydrogen Economy was the topic discussed by Dr. David Antonelli and Dr. Robert Schurko, University of Windsor Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Tarek AbdelBaset, Project Engineer, DaimlerChrysler on February 22, 2007. Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, has potential as an amazing fuel source. It would never run out, and its use as a fuel does not produce pollutants such as carbon dioxide and particulates. However, there are economic and political barriers, as well as scientific hurdles, to be overcome. The presenters reviewed some of the major challenges in harnessing hydrogen as an energy source, and examined some of the exciting innovations in science and engineering driving the hydrogen economy. A highlight of the night was a hydrogen-powered car that was on display. On April 11, 2007 Dr. Daniel Heath, CRC in Conservation Genetics, Department of Biological Sciences and GLIER discussed his use of molecular genetic techniques to unravel the mechanisms of diversity and adaptation coded in genes. Drawing from his research of damselfish off the coast of Belize, giant salmon in British Columbia, and cancerous catfish from the Detroit River he discussed issues of relevance to the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity.

Following the lecture portion of Tuesday's Science Café, audience members discussed ways to help in the search for the ivory-billed woodpecker and ways to ensure the survival o nature. Ojibway park naturalist Paul Pratt (l) Rick Caron (r) flank ornithologist Dan Mennill.

Geomatics Lab Over the past year, the research collaborations/projects undertaken by the Geomatics Lab continued to raise its profile Lab both on and off campus. Some of these initiatives were extensions of studies undertaken previous years (e.g. Windsor Essex Environmental Metadata System (WEEMS) – Phase III, Validating Land Use Regression Models for Health Status in Windsor, ON - Phase III, and enhancements to the Geospatial Student Enrolment Wizard) while others were brand new (e.g. Fire Station Allocation in Leamington, Ontario – A Geospatial Research Project). The publication “Establishing the Spatial Variability of Ambient Nitrogen Dioxide in Windsor, Ontario”, in the International Journal for Environmental Studies, documents the lab’s creation of a geospatial land-use regression (LUR) model for the prediction of vehicular pollution in the City of Windsor. The project was funded by Health Canada and included researchers from the University of Windsor’s Math and Statistics and Civil and Environmental Engineering departments, as well as the University of Western Ontario. In addition, two more phases of this project were completed; a seasonal LUR approach and a validation protocol of BTEX and PM2.5. This work was presented at the International Society of Exposure Assessment conference held in North Carolina in October 2007. In terms of community outreach, UWindsor GIS students and staff have participated in numerous geospatial events throughout the past year. In November 2006, the lab in association with the City of Windsor’s GIS Division co-hosted GIS Day. This was a global grassroots event which enabled geospatial organizations to open their doors to schools, businesses, and the general public to showcase real-world applications of GIS. This year, GIS Day will be held on campus November 14th, 2007. The event will include participants from local area high schools, the City of Windsor, the Regional Municipalities of Essex, Kingsville and Leamington, Windsor Police Services, ESRI Canada Inc., and the University of Windsor (Biological Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences). An estimated 250 people are expected to attend.

Windsor Regional Science, Technology and Engineering Fair The 46th Windsor Regional Science, Technology and Engineering Fair for students in Grades 3 to 12, was held March 31st to April 1st 2007 at St. Clair College’s Ford Centre for Excellence in Manufacturing. One hundred and eighty-eight projects, completed by 248 students from 27 elementary and secondary schools in Windsor and Essex County, were entered into the fair. The chief judge of the competition was Dr. Donovan Thomas and the panel of judges included 15 undergraduate students, 3 graduate students and 10 Faculty members from the Faculty of Science. The involvement of the university community gives students participating in the science fair a connection to the real world of science and provides an opportunity to bring excellence in science to our community. Ai Quoc Bui from Assumption High School was awarded the 2007 University of Windsor Faculty of Science Prize for the project a Steering Wheel Safety System Senses Driver Fatigue. The Faculty of Science prize contributes $2,000 towards travel expenses of the winning scientist to the Canada Wide Science Fair. Each member of the winning team also receives a Faculty of Science lapel pin, a prize certificate and a cheque for $100. Ai Quoc successfully competed at the Canada Wide Fair held this year in Truro, Nova Scotia from May 12-20, 2007 receiving an Honourable Mention in the Automotive Senior category sponsored by AUTO 21. A certificate and $100 were associated with the award. A list of judges from the Faculty of Science is given on page 27. 144

Alumni and Faculty Development Initiatives As a means of raising its profile in the community and beyond, the Faculty continues to actively promote the successes of faculty and students in local and national media. Press releases touting research and teaching award winners, research breakthroughs and innovations, and scholastic achievement are regularly distributed and often form the basis of news articles in the Windsor Star. Advertising space promoting Faculty strengths has also been purchased to supplement this coverage. Copies of the advertisements appear on pages 148-155. This year, the Faculty of Science was also actively promoted in The Lance, the campus newspaper. It continues to be a priority for the Faculty of Science to work with current students, a.k.a. “alumni in training”. The Faculty is fortunate to have a very active group of science students who dedicate much of their time to represent and work for Science students as a whole. The Science Society will soon have a permanent home in Lambton Tower. A common area on the north east side of the building will be renovated for their office space. The students regularly organize events that help raise the profile of Science and the University. They will be co-hosting the Windsor Charity Ball with the Computer Science Society and the Social Science Society in the spring of 2008. Last year’s gala event, raised awareness for the clubs involved and raised money for The Welcome Centre for Human Potential, the Aids Committee of Windsor and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Another major undertaking for the Society will be to host the 2009 Canadian University Science Games. The last time the games were in Windsor in 2006 more than 200 students across Ontario and Quebec participated. With advance planning they are hoping to interest students from across the country to come to Windsor’s games. Dr. Patrick Caines, who earned four degrees from the Faculty of Science including a Ph.D. in Clinical Chemistry in 1985 as well as post doctoral diploma in Clinical Chemistry in 1987, will receive the Alumni Award of Merit from the Alumni Board of Directors at their Annual General Meeting in November 2007. This award is given to recognize distinguished accomplishment of human endeavour which have brought honour to the University of Windsor. Patrick has established himself as one of North America’s leading clinical chemists. He has worked in a number of capacities including research and design, quality assurance and quality, regulatory and compliance (QRC) for Eastman Kodak and Johnson and Johnson. He is currently holds a senior position at Boston Scientific in Boston.

Increasing and improving communication with science alumni continues to be an important objective for the Faculty. The first Faculty of Science Newsletter will hit the mailboxes of alumni and friends in November. In addition to news, the publication highlights projects that they can financially contribute to including, scholarships, the courtyard surrounding Lambton Towner and major capital projects. The Department of Alumni Affairs’ e-newsletter is another useful communication tool. The e-newsletter is sent over 20,000 alumni monthly. Included in this newsletter is a link to the Faculty of Science website (www.uwindsor.ca/science) where news items highlighting the accomplishments and activities of alumni, students, faculty and staff 145

Alumni and Faculty Development Initiatives are posted under Alumni @ Work – Alumni E-News. The site consistently receives a high number of hits and is updated regularly. The 40th Anniversary of Earth and Environmental Sciences had a reunion-like atmosphere with alumni Dr. Nicholas Sitar, (Honours BAS ’73), Dr. Fred Longstaff (Honours BAS ’73), Dr. Michael Sklash (Honours BAS ’73) returning to campus as guest speakers and other alumni participating in the day’s activities (see photograph). Other opportunities to meet personally with alumni have occurred when the Dean and Department heads have travelled for events, conferences or meetings. A breakfast hosted by the dean after the STAO (Science Teachers Association of Ontario) event in Toronto and a dinner hosted by Dr. Al Aasm in Calgary are two examples. Alumni sponsored golf tournaments in Toronto, London and locally in La Salle provide are other examples. The ASPIRE event organized by the Faculty for local area secondary school teachers was well attended by both Science and Education alumni.

Liaison and Student Recruitment New projects which will be the focus of fundraising activities in the next year are the new Pelee Environmental Research Centre (PERC), renovations in Essex Hall, benches and tables for the Lambton Tower patio and scholarships. The centre will be a state of the art facility strategically located between Point Pelee National Park and the Hillman Marsh Conservation Area. It is the only research centre that will focus on the Great Lakes and the Carolinian forest ecosystems. The land was donated to the University by the Municipality of the Corporation of Leamington. The Essex Hall renovations will improve and create space for graduate student in both Chemistry and Biochemistry and Physics. As well, the renovations are intended to make the existing space in Physics more functional. Both projects require major capital funding. A variety of donor recognition opportunities will be made available. Donations on a smaller scale will be sought for the installation of patio tables and benches in order to create informal gathering places surrounding Lambton Tower. Our goal is to have a sponsored bench for the current and each of the five former Deans of Science.

Groupings of benches like the above are envisioned for the patio surrounding Lambton Tower.

The efforts of Alumni and Faculty Development in nurturing relationships with current students, alumni, friends, corporate partners and the community at large will hopefully result in a continued positive public reputation of the Faculty and increased financial support.

Liaison and Student Recruitment The efforts of the Office of Liaison & Student Recruitment are primarily geared towards recruiting secondary school students to the University by the following means: - attending the Ontario University Fair (OUF) held in Toronto on September 28,-30, 2007 at the Metro Convention Centre. This year ten faculty members and two students represented the Faculty of Science. - ‘taking the show on the road’ during a 6 week travel season to visit about 400 high schools across the province. Faculty members are invited and encouraged to attend information sessions held during visits to the tri-county area schools. - hosting the first University of Windsor booth at YES Expo 2007 at Ford Field November 8, 2007 to encourage students to consider science as an educational choice. Renee Tousignant, a Biology Master's candidate represented the Faculty of Science at this event. - hosting the annual Fall Showcase Day held November 16, 2007. This year as a pilot project, 5000 specific invitations from the Faculty of Science were given to math and science teachers in tri-county area schools for distribution to their students. Several Departments have increasingly become more proactive in their efforts to make their presence known in the local community and to recruit local students to their programs by hosting various events on campus aimed at building/improving relations with local high school teachers; providing current and accurate information, and featuring/showcasing facilities and research areas. Some of the specific initiatives undertaken within the Faculty are highlighted below. Physics Education Workshop On Saturday, April 14, 2007 the Department of Physics held a Physics Education Workshop for High School teachers and some of their best students. The purpose of the workshop was to show the versatility of a physics education and the opportunity of using physics knowledge in different areas of science, as well as to provide the opportunity for an open exchange of ideas on physics education. Ways to encourage and excite students to study physics and mathematics were also sought. In addition to inspiring talks by faculty members, there were interesting presentations by high-school teachers and by students from the Department of Physics. A tour of two research laboratories in the physics department was also included in the itinerary for the day.More than a twenty high school educators and their students from Windsor, Essex County and Michigan attended the event which was organized by Drs. Wladyslaw Kedzierski and Chitra Rangan.

The objective of the chemical demonstrations are both to help teachers review and reinforce concepts students have already been introduced to during the "matter and materials" and "energy and control" strands, as well as stimulate and springboard students' future interest in science. The colourful and exciting experiments show examples of the properties of and changes in matter through demonstrations involving dry ice and liquid nitrogen, which emphasize evaporation, condensation, sublimation and expansion. Chemiluminescence demonstrations show students an unusual way in which light is produced and some chemical reactions show that heat can be either absorbed from the surroundings or liberated. Participating graduate students have been tremendously successful in being able to transmit their excitement for research by showing the wonders of chemistry to young students.

Liaison and Student Recruitment University of Windsor Regional Secondary School Computer Programming Competition For the past four years the School of Computer Science has organized a Computer Programming competition for secondary school students which challenges teams of students to solve problems by writing programs in a set time period. The competition includes two training sessions followed by a formal competition held in the School’s state of the art facilities. Students, in addition to being coached by their teachers, are trained in program and design in a selected programming language by CS faculty. The 2007 competition, the 4th Annual Competition will take place on Friday, November 23, 2007 with the pre-competition workshops conducted on Friday, October 19 and Friday, November 2nd. A record 15 high schools across Essex, Lambton and Kent counties have registered to participate. The 3rd University of Windsor Regional Secondary School Computer Programming Competition was held on Friday December 8, 2006 with participation from 13 high schools. There were 22 official and 9 reserve teams participating with an overall total of over 100 participants. The Computer Science Java Lab and X-Lab were at full capacity with the CS seminar room filled with anxious teachers and coaches. The Vincent Massey Secondary School Team of Ivan Wang, Frank Ban, and Mike Lee, coached by Mr. Ron McKenzie were the recipients of this year’s “Top Programming Team Award”. Participating schools were Belle River, Essex District, General Amherst, J.L. Forster, Kennedy, Kingsville, Leamington, Sandwich, St. Patrick, St. Joseph, Walkerville, Wallaceburg and Vincent Massey secondary schools. The event is a recruitment initiative organized by Dr. Ziad Kobti.

Liaison and Student Recruitment Class Visits to Campus Grade 11 and 12 Walkerville Secondary School physics students, along with physics teacher, Mike Booth, attended a Lego Robotics programming workshop held by The School of Computer Science on Friday April 27th. Dr. Ziad Kobti, assisted by Shiven Sharma, graduate assistant, trained the students in programming which was followed by an obstacle course competition. The students enjoyed the applied programming aspects of the workshop and got a bonus tour of our computing facilities. The objective of the workshop was to expose high school students and teachers to our campus and spark interest in computer science at the high school level. CSI Windsor – Summer Day Camp Visit On Thursday, July 12, 2007 the Department of Biological Science became a Crime Scene Investigation Centre for a group of budding forensic sleuths aged 7-13 from several different Windsor area schools. Their day began in the Biotechnology lab with Biology department head Dr. Andrew Hubberstey explaining the principles of genetic fingerprinting and how everyone is genetically unique. Dr. Hubberstey described how evidence collected by CSI investigators at crime scenes is analysed, using the same techniques taught at the University, to create a unique genetic fingerprint which can then be used to positively identify and catch criminals. Following Dr. Hubberstey the group listened to the Dean of Science, Dr. Richard Caron explaining how Windsor is pioneering the use of Biotechnology and Forensics in higher education to create programs which are high quality and unique compared to other universities in Canada. After a tour of the BioLearning Centre the group of students visited the Forensics research lab of Dr. Sherah Vanlaerhoven where PhD student Jennifer Rosati showed the group how flies and understanding their life cycle is used by forensics investigators to define where and when a death occurred. Luckily for our sleuths the demonstration involved nothing more grizzly than a stillborn foetal pig!! Showing excellent resolve and strong stomachs the CSI group were fascinated to see maggots crawling around (and inside) the porcine victim.
