marmoor Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 He says he has CGS3d from 2011 to 2014!!! I think CGS3D should go from 2012 to 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL18 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 For those of you who are interested, this is the guy we are talking about who tweeted abt the NSERC CGS.. http://www.cs.uwater...ssex/index.html This guy is too strong. go and see his CV. I think he will also win Vanier without any difficulities He also won a CGS D3 NSERC for award years of 2011-2014. This would be 2012-2015.

stud007 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 He says he has CGS3d from 2011 to 2014!!! I think CGS3D should go from 2012 to 2015. Yeah!! Thats the thing I have been wondering.. First I thought he maybe considering his CGS-M as the first year but he did his Master in 2008 (dont knw whether he started or finished in 2008).. Now this gets more interesting but for sure I agree that he deserves CGS-D3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think he used to have a PGS and it turned into a CGS ! Because I checked his cv before and it was mentioned that he had a PGS. Anyway, I ain't really impressed by his CV, cuz if you check his 2007 publications for example, it feels it all turn around Punchscan ( something I don't know , but it feels the same work for all the publications ). Some people might look really strong depending on the way they sell themselves. :-) In addition, I don't know if they take into consideration foreign students who came to Canada as international students and then turned into PR as a special case not comparable with the canadians that were born in Canada, cuz for someone who's born in Canada the environement is totally different to get involved in the society and have extra volunteering work and such things, at least that fast !!!!

vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 And look at this publication for example : http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~aessex/assets/stii/ScantegrityII.pdf 9 people for a paper of 13 pages !!! I don't know if this is normal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Each examinator in NSERC take approximatively 30 minutes to read your application. Do you think he has the time to go and check each article of the candidate. I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faming Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 i am going mad, when can i have the banting pdf results? They only saying the results will be released by March 30, 2012 and, will only email to those winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Each examinator in NSERC take approximatively 30 minutes to read your application. Do you think he has the time to go and check each article of the candidate. I don't think so. Can't you guess from the titles and the number of authors , position of authors for each candidate ? I think yes they do that at least, otherwise why would we write down our publications ? Still, that's not the single criteria !!!! I believe that one of the most critical criteria is the proposal and its impact on the science and canadian society or strategic canadian science fields.

Ironmonkey66 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 And look at this publication for example : http://www.cs.uwater...antegrityII.pdf 9 people for a paper of 13 pages !!! I don't know if this is normal ! A 9 people collaborative paper is not surprising to me at all. At least in the physical sciences (and somewhat in engineering), you can find more than 10 people collaborating on a single paper quite frequently. And this is increasingly the case since interdisciplinary research is encouraged nowadays. One the famous example is the "The D0 Collaboration" which have some hundred persons listed: click "Show All Authors/Affiliations" on http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v106/i2/e022001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially in the area of novel materials growth, optimization and characterization research groups from different part of the world work together. This not only increase the possibility of success of the research but also reduces a lot of cost associated with the research because the groups share their resources and knowledge. In such a research work and publications it does not matter how many authors are in the paper and the position of the authors in the paper. It is the matter of importance of your research.

Sorry dude, but I am defintely convinced it's not the case. How can you evalute the contribution of each of these people ? I can't believe such papers can be a proof of the research potentional of someday, unless with a reference letter from an important author telling about the contribution of the referee.

PS : we're not talking about nobel prizes here, we're talking about NSERC awards ;-) You bring a good point that "significance" is the key word here. Whether 1, 10 or 100 names are on a paper, each contributor should be able to describe explicitly its own contribution. And Yes! that is significant for someone's application.
