Two 91社区 professors have distinguished themselves with inclusion in Thomson Reuters鈥� 2014 list of the world's hottest researchers.
Highly Cited Researchers 2014 represents some of the world鈥檚 leading scientific minds. Over three thousand researchers earned the distinction by writing the greatest numbers of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators as Highly Cited Papers鈥攔anking among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication, earning them the mark of exceptional impact.
Chemistry professor is among four highly-cited chemists in Canada. Dr. Li is the E.B. Eddy Chair and Canada Research Chair in Green/Organic Chemistry. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles and has given more than 300 plenary/keynote/invited lectures. His current research efforts are to develop Green Chemistry for organic synthesis based upon innovative and fundamentally new organic reactions that will defy conventional reactivities and possess high 鈥渁tom-efficiency鈥�. Well-known research developed by Dr. Li include a wide range of Grignard-type reactions in water, alkyne-aldehyde-amine coupling (A3-coupling), and cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reactions among others.
The lone professor from a Canadian institution cited in the Neuroscience and Behaviour category is Alan C. Evans, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Medical Physics, and Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Evans has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers, holds numerous CIHR grants, and serves as co-Principal Investigator on many NIH-funded projects. During his 25 years at the Montreal Neurological Institute, he has held numerous leadership roles, most notably as director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre. Dr. Evans is a founding member of the International Consortium for Brain Mapping. He was one of the founders of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping, serving in numerous positions on the OHBM Council since 1995.听He听regularly participates in听NIH workshops, panels and initiatives related to brain imaging research.
