Governor General’s Academic Medals These medals are awarded to the undergraduate student and graduate student with the highest academic standing. Gold Medal Ivan Khalzov Ivan Khalzov was born in Borisoglebsk, Russia in 1980. He graduated with a Master of Science Degree in Applied Mathematics and Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia in 2003. In 2004, Ivan started his Ph.D. research in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at the University of Saskatchewan. He was the recipient of the University of Saskatchewan Graduate Scholarship, Herzberg Memorial Scholarship and Rowles Fellowship. Ivan completed his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 2008. Ivan’s thesis research is devoted to the theoretical study of magnetohydrodynamic flows—the flows of liquid metals or plasmas in the presence of a magnetic field. Such flows in annular channels are currently of great interest due to the experimental investigation of the so-called magnetorotational instability, which plays an important role in astrophysical applications. The results obtained by Ivan can now be used to optimize the design of magnetorotational instability experiments and to explain the experimental data. They may also be useful in fundamental astrophysical studies. Currently Ivan is a research associate at the Center for Magnetic Self‐Organization in Laboratory and Astrophysical Plasmas, University of Wisconsin, Madison. He continues his career as a physicist, exploring different phenomena in magnetized plasmas. Silver Medal Danielle Louise Anderson Danielle grew up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. She graduates with a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree with High Honours in Physics. Ms. Anderson is also the recipient of the Earl of Bessborough Prize which is awarded to the most distinguished graduate in the Natural Sciences in the College of Arts and Science. Danielle has excelled academically and has been awarded numerous scholarships and awards during her academic career to date, including the Chancellor’s Scholarship, the Sylvia Fedoruk Scholarship, the B.W. Currie Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship a NSERC Undergraduate Scholarship Research Award and a NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship. She has achieved recognition on the Dean’s List all four years of her undergraduate program. Ms. Anderson has worked in various science-oriented positions such as a Science Ambassador in The Pas, Manitoba and a science outreach research project with the University of Saskatchewan. Danielle has also planned and conducted science experiments and activities with Kindergarten to Grade 9 students at various schools in The Pas, Manitoba. She has also worked as a Linear Accelerator Operator at the Canadian Light Source Inc. Danielle spent eight weeks in early 2008 volunteering as a Mathematics and Science teacher in a vocational school in Ghana. Other volunteer activities have included the Children’s Wish Foundation, the Canadian Special Olympics, the Western Canadian Summer Games and a Sunday School teacher at the Prince Albert Alliance Church. Danielle Anderson will begin the Master of Science Program in Medical Physics this September. University of Saskatchewan 21 Spring Convocation 2008
