  Award citation:
  
  James Anderson received his PhD from McMaster University in 2010. After his graduation, he was working at the University of Tokyo as a receipient of the Japan Society for the Promption of Science Postdoctoral Felllowship. Since Janury 2013 he has been working at Beijin University, sponsored by his NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship. Dr. Anderson's research interests cover several areas of applied mathematics, quantum physics, and theoretical chemistry, with a major focus on electronic and nuclear many-body problems. His most recent contributions are on reduced density matrix theory. He gave many presentations at international meetings and developed an impressive network of collaborators in Japan, Canada, China, the United States, Chile, and Europe. At the time of the award, he has published twelve journal papers in high quality international journals.
