Dr. Mark Wachowiak, associate professor in computer science and mathematics, is the kind of person who is always ready to lend a hand, especially if it involves interdisciplinary computational science. The recipient of the 2017 Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Research is involved in many interdisciplinary, multi-institution collaborative research projects, as a team lead and co-researcher, both within, and external to, Nipissing University.

Dr. Kirsten Greer, Canada Research Chair in Global Environmental Histories and Geographies and assistant professor of Geography and History, recently led a research team to the American Society of Environmental Historians Conference (ASEH) in Chicago and to the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting in Boston.

Three researchers at Nipissing University have earned close to half-a-million dollars in grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for work battling sex trafficking, determining why so many individuals don’t act to combat climate change, and to help kids be better people and teammates.

Top student researchers from every faculty investigating topics as diverse as early America to social media and Kinematics to sexuality and stereotypes will be showcasing their work this weekend during Nipissing University’s ninth annual Undergraduate Research Conference (UGRC), April 1 and 2, 2016.

Congratulations to Dr. Rick Vanderlee, and his research colleagues on earning a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
