ISAAC joins with the rest of the world in recognizing the tremendous lifetime achievements and the passing of world-renowned theoretical physicist Professor Stephen Hawking on March 14, 2018.

Recipient of the ISAAC 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award, Professor Hawking made a significant contribution to our understanding of both the universe and the indelible human spirit. His intellect, spirit, and contributions will be sorely missed. We at ISAAC are honoured, humbled, and inspired to be part of the work that he described as “the expansion of the human voice and spirit across our world.”

For a more detailed understanding of Professor Hawking the individual, and his lifetime of contributions to the fields of science, please take a few moments to read the many sources widely available over the internet, including the following contribution by the University of Cambridge (England).
