Six UVic researchers in the fields of science, social sciences, engineering, and humanities have been elected to the Royal Society of Canada, the country’s highest academic honour.
CAMTEC is expanding to establish a biosafety facility with new, cutting-edge equipment previously unavailable on Vancouver Island and infrastructure upgrades that will triple their research capacity.
UVic welcomes four Banting fellows.
The origin of planets hides in the dust and gas surrounding a newborn star. However, a direct link between these so-called protoplanetary disks and exoplanets was hard to identify—until now.
Origin story of universe's stars & calcium content, new research
With powerful international partnerships, equipment and facilities, UVic researchers are seeking answers to the universe’s greatest mysteries, boosted by $7.4 million in funding by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation.
The REACH Awards celebrate UVic scholars for their extraordinary contributions in research and teaching.
Cosmologist Julio Navarro’s revolutionary work on dark matter halos has influenced our modern understanding of how galaxies form and evolve, and the changing cosmic structure of the universe. For his remarkable contributions in this area, Navarro has been recognized as a Citation Laureate—the first for a University of Victoria researcher.
Cosmologist Julio Navarro has been recognized as a Citation Laureate for his revolutionary work in galaxy formation and evolution, cosmic structure and dark matter halos.
UVic astrophysicist Ruobing Dong is revolutionizing the field of observational planet formation by examining disks of dust and gas which surround very young stars.
Galaxy clusters Q&A
Scientists from Canada, the United States and Denmark have captured the clearest image known of a cluster of galaxies from 10 billion years ago in cosmic history. The discovery, published in Nature, provides clues the universe was more evolved than previously thought.
Indra Heed Hornsby (LLB '97), has been on a clear trajectory to space from the time she was a toddler growing up in Kamloops, BC. After completing an undergraduate degree with a focus on aerospace policy, Hornsby came to UVic's Faculty of Law to develop a skill she could bring to the space sector.
Astronomy professor Sara Ellison, who plays violin in her free time, says studying the night sky is like learning to appreciate the intricacies of music. When Sara Ellison looks up at the stars, she does so with the hallmark precision of a scientist…
UVic researcher Olav Krigolson is helping NASA study the mental stress of a long space mission to Mars. He'll use portable electroencephalography (EEG) systems in the form of MUSE headbands and PEER research software to monitor the brain activity of crew members.
Cambria Logan (BEng ’08) might have never been to space, but her years of hard work helped send the Curiosity Rover on a successful mission to Mars. She led the team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory that was responsible for testing the sampling tools on the end of Curiosity's robotic arm, which landed on Mars in 2012.
