Description

The Dr. C. Ravi and Shanti Ravindran Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis was established in 2008 (the 60th year of the creation of Ryerson as an educational institution) by his family in recognition of his long and distinguished industrial and academic career. He was the first winner of the Ryerson-Sahota Faculty Research Award, Trustee of ASM International, and the first Toronto Met faculty member elected as Fellow, and later President of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.

This Award recognizes the excellence of the winning doctoral dissertation from the points of originality, contribution to better understanding of the theory, philosophy, science, practice or their interrelationship, application of theory and impact on society, industry or some aspect of national value.
