Staff Changes

Dr. Richard Klukas was appointed to a faculty position in the area of Wireless Location. DrKlukas holds BSc and MSc degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Calgary. Dur-ing the course of his Master’s studies he became interested in the application of electrical engineer-ing principles to positioning and navigation. As a result, he began studies in the Department ofGeomatics Engineering at the University of Calgary and earned his PhD in Geomatics Engineeringin 1998. In 1995 Dr. Klukas was one of a group of researchers who founded Cell-Loc Inc., awireless location technology company located in Calgary, Alberta. The mandate of Cell-Loc was todevelop a network-based positioning system for wireless transmitters such as cell phones. Dr.Klukas was responsible for the positioning algorithms for the system and holds patents for thistechnology. Much of his PhD work is still used in the Cell-Loc system. Following the completionof his PhD, Richard worked at Cell-Loc Inc. in a number of capacities. From March 2000 to March2001, he lived in Dallas, Texas where he started Cell-Loc’s U.S. office. He also has industrialexperience with Nortel, Canada. Dr. Klukas’ research interests include signal processing tech-niques specifically for positioning, RF propagation, and wireless positioning and navigation. Hewill be working closely with Dr. G. Lachapelle, the Canada Research Chair and iCORE Chair inWireless Location. Dr. Klukas began his duties on September 1, 2001.

Mele has represented Fiji in various meetings and conferences hosted by the land tenuresection of the UN’s Food andAgriculture Organization (FAO)and by Commissions 3 and 7 ofthe International Federation ofSurveyors (FIG). She has alsobeen an invited speaker on Abo-riginal tenure and land informa-tion systems at variousconferenes in New Zealand,Australia and the United States.Her research interests includeland tenure, aboriginal rights,land and geographic informationsystems, land information man-agement, land administrationand more recently, legal plural-ism and women’s issues in landstudies. Ms. Rakai began herduties on January 1, 2002.

Liverpool, England. He became interested in industrial metrology during his intern year in railwayengineering, where he applied such methods as laser guidance for track-laying machines, and close-range photogrammetry for tunnel profile measurement. He subsequently attended the University ofLeeds, England, to undertake research in close-range photogrammetry for Civil Engineering, andreceived his PhD in 2000. Since 1997 he has worked extensively in mainland Europe as projectmanager and consultant for a Belgian engineering surveying company supplying the chemical proc-ess industry. His principle interest during this time was in the creation of as-built 3D CAD modelsfrom close-range photogrammetry, laser scanning and conventional methods. Dr. Tait’s researchinterests include the fields of industrial measurement systems and methodologies, and the closerintegration of metrology, 3D modelling, and spatial information systems, particularly for the chemicalprocess industry. Dr. Tait began his duties on November 19, 2001.

WOMEN IN ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE

D uring the 2001-2002 term, the NSERC/Petro-Canada Chairfor Women in Science and Engineering, held by Professor

M.E. Cannon, launched SCIberMENTOR which is an emailmentoring system that links Alberta girls aged 11 to 18 withwomen science and engineering students, as well practicing en-gineers and scientists. This initiative is in collaboration with theFaculty of Engineering, University of Alberta and the AlbertaWomen’s Science Network (AWSN). The project is being fundedby Alberta Innovation and Science with matching funds by EnCanaCorp. The goals of the program are to increase awareness of theopportunities and benefits of, and successful paths to, careers inscience and engineering fields, and to increase the participationof young women in high school science and math courses. Addi-tionally, the program is designed to increase the participation ofyoung women in college and university science and engineeringprograms, and to acquire data that will build on knowledge of theperceptions of maths and science, career interests and future plansof girls throughout Alberta.

Two Program Administrators have been hired, with TamaraMcCarron being at the University of Calgary, and Monica Das atthe University of Alberta. Matching protocols, communicationsmaterials and web content (www.scibermentor.ca) were devel-oped and the program now has over 350 participants. A researchproject has also been launched in collaboration with Dr. JudyLupart in the Faculty of Education, so the impact of the programon the mentors and mentees can be measured. This program isunique in its size and scope in Canada.

Another highlight of the year was the Prairie Women in Scienceand Engineering Conference that was held on October 26 and27, 2001 at the University of Calgary. This conference broughttogether over 180 students, teachers, academics, as well as gov-

Page 26


ernment and industry stakeholders from the Prai-ries to share intervention strategies and successstories for attracting and retaining women inthese fields, to provide opportunities for allattendees to develop personally and profession-ally through networking and personal develop-ment workshops, and to present findings fromresearch being conducted by Prairie scholars onwomen in science and engineering issues.

Conference sessions were planned around vari-ous women in science and engineering issuesincluding K-12, university and college programs,graduate and faculty issues, and retention ofwomen in industry. Paper presentations weregiven along with discussion sessions to focuson winning strategies and best practices. Work-shops were also held on topics of interest to theattendees (e.g. ‘Being Successful in theWorkplace’, ‘Gender Communications’). Key-note addresses were given by leading women sci-entists and engineers, including Kathy Sendall,Senior VP of Petro-Canada and CatherineHughes, Calgary GeoMarket Manager forSchlumberger.

Research Statistics

RESEARCH

esearch is an integral part of Department activities. It allowsindividual faculty members to stay at the leading edge of theirR

area of specialization and to apply their knowledge to current prob-lems in industry and government. It also provides funding for re-search associates and graduate students. It thus supports the educa-tion of highly trained future engineers and, in an indirect way, theteaching activities of the Department.

Direct research funding for this report year was at $3,096,133 whichis about $238,000 per member (based on 13 faculty members). Thiscontinues to be an excellent level of support. Direct research fundingincreased by over $500,000 for the reporting period.

The distance between the twinGRACE satellites (a.k.a. Tom

and Jerry) is tracked by aradio link. The variation in

the intersatellite distance is asensitive measure of the

Earth’s gravity field. Gravityfield changes over time

provide information aboutphenomena like post-glacial

rebound, icecap melting, sea-level rise or basin-wide water

budget. Drs. Sneeuw andSideris are involved in a

project that will achieve thenext generation vertical

reference frame for Canada,taking into account the time-

variable gravity field asobtained from gravitymissions like GRACE.
