Associate Professor of Business, University of Victoria
Prior to pursuing his PhD, Sudhir spent 15 years working in large corporations e.g., Citibank as well as with entrepreneurial entities that he founded or co-founded. Sudhir’s research interests coalesce around international strategy. He is particularly interested in the reasons and consequences for individuals or businesses crossing organizational or geographic boundaries.
Sudhir sees the idea of boundaries (both organizational and international) and the role they play of particular interest in a simultaneously globalizing and de-globalizing world that is also progressively becoming more specialized. The “when, why and how” firms seek to cross boundaries, thus becomes critical to understand how it impacts organizations and then to find ways to help these entities navigate these challenging issues. More recently, he has been researching the newcomer (immigrant and refugee) space in Canada from an interdisciplinary perspective.

University Research Chair in Digital Livestock Farming, Dalhousie University
Dr. Suresh Neethirajan stands out as a preeminent figure in the field of digital livestock farming, recognized for his groundbreaking work and extensive expertise. His academic foundation, which combines engineering with animal science, has propelled him to the forefront of integrating cutting-edge technologies into livestock management. This integration aims to elevate efficiency, animal welfare, and the sustainability of agricultural practices. Dr. Neethirajan's work is particularly notable for its embrace of a wide array of technologies, such as sensors and data analytics, which are crucial in shifting traditional farming towards smart, precision-oriented practices.
A key area of Dr. Neethirajan's contributions is his development of sensor-based technologies for continuous monitoring of animal health. This innovation plays a vital role in early disease detection, facilitating prompt intervention and minimizing the spread of illnesses among livestock. In the context of climate change, Dr. Neethirajan's work in creating metaverse digital twins for livestock is particularly groundbreaking. These virtual representations allow for a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of livestock environments, behaviors, and needs, leading to more informed decision-making processes in farming. His efforts in automated monitoring systems are directly aligned with advancing animal welfare and promoting sustainable farming practices. These endeavors underscore the significant role technology plays in not only transforming agriculture but also in addressing broader environmental challenges and ethical considerations in farming.
