This award was presented to Daniel Silver, Ph.D. His research has focused on the use of artificial intelligence to analyze data and to devise computer systems that adapt to changes. Dr. Silver has been especially active in fostering interest in computer science in young Nova Scotians through federal, provincial and industrial funded programs. He is the driving force behind the Acadia University Robot Programming Competition, which teaches young people across Nova Scotia design, engineering and programming skills while fostering teamwork and communication.
Two additional finalists in this category and featured in this video are:
Kevin Hewitt, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Physics & Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University and a tireless advocate for the promotion of science and math education for Nova Scotia youth of African decent. It was through his leadership that "Imhotep's Legacy Academy" was established in 2003. Dr. Hewitt also spearheaded outreach projects such as the Holo-tent, a travelling mobile dark room where participants create their own hologram.
Jason Brown, Ph.D., Professor at Dalhousie University, is a passionate mathematician and an enthusiastic multimedia communicator of the everyday relevance of mathematics, and of the deep connection between the art and science of music.
