Congratulations to the 2025 recipients of the Faculty of Science Research Awards - Simon Fraser University

This year, we have the privilege of celebrating the University of Alberta 2026 Killam Laureates, a remarkable cohort of 28 doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars and academics who have made outstanding contributions to the university through their teaching, research and creative endeavours. Since 1967, the Killam awards have recognized outstanding academic achievement, leadership and extraordinary success in teaching and research at the U of A. The support of the Killam Trusts plays a vital role in advancing research and excellence across the U of A and among its Killam Laureates. This year, we also celebrate winners of the inaugural Killam Grand Challenges Scholarship for Interdisciplinary Research. This award is given to exceptionally talented doctoral students undertaking research which combines two or more diverse disciplines, to resolve “wicked problems” and contribute to solutions to grand challenges. Congratulations to the U of A’s 2026 Killam Laureates!
