Ting Li and Corliss Sio recognized with Dorothy Shoichet Women Faculty in Science Award of Excellence

Two early-career researchers from the Faculty of Arts & Science are recipients of the Dorothy Shoichet Women Faculty in Science Award of Excellence: Ting Li, an assistant professor in the David A. Dunlap department of astronomy and astrophysics; and Corliss Sio, an assistant professor in the department of Earth sciences.

The award was established in 2016 by Molly Shoichet to help early-career female researchers focus on their research.

Lis research goal is to better understand the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy and galaxies in the nearby universe.

I am profoundly honoured to have been selected as the recipient of the Dorothy Shoichet Award, and I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to my department for nominating me, says Li, especially as I embark on establishing an optical instrumentation lab in my department and take on the role of chairing a large international collaboration.

Sios research lies at the intersection of isotope geochemistry, experimental petrology and numerical modeling. She was instrumental in winning a major Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grant for the GEMINAE lab (Geochemistry of Elements and Metal Isotopes in Nature and Experiments).

I am incredibly honoured to receive this award and am grateful for Professor Shoichets generosity and my departments support, says Sio. This award could not be better timed, coming while I am in the thick of building a laboratory that will be the first of its kind in Canada.
