McGill astrophysicist Matt Dobbs is the recipient of the 2019 Killam Research Fellowship in Natural Sciences. The announcement was made today by the Canada Council for the Arts, which revealed this year’s winners of the prestigious Killam Program, composed of the Killam Prizes and the Killam Research Fellowships. Awarding nearly one million dollars every year, the Program is one of the most prestigious to reward Canada’s researchers, whose work has a tremendous impact on people’s lives.Dobbs, a professor in the Department of Physics and associate member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was rewarded for his project, Unveiling the Cosmos with a New Paradigm Digital Radio Telescope, involving the revolutionary CHIME radio telescope inaugurated in British Columbia in 2017.
