gave strong support to the University of Toronto’s bid to
provide a permanent home to the Fields Institute. He is a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, an officer in the Order
of Canada, and a member of the Order of Ontario.
Carl Riehm graduated in Mathematics and Physics at
the University of Toronto, receiving the Governor-General’s
Medal. He completed his PhD at Princeton University. He
was a member of the faculty of McGill University (1961–63),
the University of Notre Dame (1963–73), and McMaster
University (1973–2000). He was a member of the Institute
for Advanced Study (1966–67), Visiting Professor at Harvard
University (1967–68), and Managing Editor of Publications at

Elaine McKinnon Riehm is co-author, with Frances
Hoffman, of the biography of John Charles Fields, Turbulent
Times in Mathematics: The Life of J.C. Fields and the History
of the Fields Medal (Providence, RI: American Mathematical
Society and the Fields Institute, 2011). She is a Fellow of the
Fields Institute and was responsible for its name.
Tom Salisbury received his PhD in mathematics from the
University of British Columbia, and following a postdoctoral
fellowship at Purdue University, he moved to York University.
His research area is probability theory, specifically Brownian
motion and related Markov processes, including their
applications to actuarial finance. He served terms as President
of the Canadian Mathematical Society and as Deputy Director
of the Fields Institute (2003–06).
William F. Shadwick is the principal founder of the
Fields Institute and a Fields Fellow. He is co-founder with
Ana Cascon of Omega Analysis Limited (London). They
pioneered a new approach to probability and statistics which
has generated powerful tools for extreme value analysis, risk,
and performance measurement. Their published work won the
2007 Journalism Award and the 2010 Edward D. Baker III
