Dr. George Ewan was a Queen’s Professor Emeritus who passed away on December 7, 2020 after a lengthy illness. He leaves behind a massive legacy as a research community builder in international particle astrophysics and a champion of Canadian involvement.
"A master of the art of collaboration who convinced talented physicists and national and international agencies that a multi-million dollar science project two kilometers under the earth in a Sudbury mineshaft would make it possible to solve the Solar Neutrino Problem". These are the words used to describe his remarkable academic accomplishments.
Dr. Ewan helped found the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). In 2015, the years of research at SNOlab resulted in a Nobel Prize for Dr. Art McDonald and his collaborators, including Dr. Ewan.
