With colleagues at Dawson, he is involved in the enterprise of creating nextgen curriculum that develops the critical hard and soft skills needed for solving the pressing, emerging and potential future problems we all share. Current interests concern innovation: the mindsets, pedagogies, and infrastructure needed for inspiring, mentoring and realizing collaborative creative or technical projects which can find application in academic, entrepreneurial, and\/or social impact contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/article><!-- #post-## -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- end news-item -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item team_member desktop-12 tablet-6 mobile-full contained\" data-num=\"3\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<article style=\"padding:10px;\" id=\"post-24\" class=\"post-24 ai_team_member type-ai_team_member status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry ai_team_role-ai-executive ai_team_role-fac-fellows ai_member_department-physics ai_member_year-2019-2020\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-img desktop-6 tablet-12 mobile-12 \" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/team-members\/team-member-5\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"popup-trigger\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jonathon Sumner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-960x960.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282.jpg 1059w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-meta desktop-18 popup-trigger\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"entry-title\">Jonathon Sumner<\/h4><span class=\"department\">Physics<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"excerpt\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jonathon holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the \u00c9cole de\u00a0technologie sup\u00e9rieure and has been a teacher in the Physics Department since 2005.\u00a0 While his expertise lies in computational fluid dynamics and wind energy, his current passion is in working with large datasets and building interactive data visualizations.\u00a0 Over the past few years, he has&#8230;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"team-member-5\" class=\"popup\" style=\"display: none;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-3-title\" aria-describedby=\"modal-3-desc\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span tabindex=\"0\" class=\"popup-btn-close\" aria-label=\"Close modal\">close<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"in_content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"img-pop\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1059\" height=\"1059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jonathon Sumner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282.jpg 1059w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/Sumner-web-e1569945648282-960x960.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1059px) 100vw, 1059px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align: center;

It was then that Myriam discovered her passion for web development and launched her own web design\/development company in 2006. While she has since pivoted her service offerings away from web dev and more towards business consulting and project management, her company Pixellent Studio continues to operate today.<\/p>\n<p>Myriam's business experience in the private sector and as an Office Manager in the public sector (for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltise.ca\/\">SALTISE<\/a><\/span>) made her an ideal candidate for the role of DawsonAI's Project Coordinator. She now oversees various projects within the AI Initiative, and also manages the budget, helps in the administration of multiple grants between DawsonAI and its partners in higher education and industry, and generally keeps the DawsonAI engine running smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>When Myriam isn't kicking the tires or changing the oil of DawsonAI's engine, she loves to read about technological advances and can often be found testing out new software and gadgetry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/article><!-- #post-## -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- end news-item -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item team_member desktop-12 tablet-6 mobile-full contained\" data-num=\"6\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<article style=\"padding:10px;\" id=\"post-158\" class=\"post-158 ai_team_member type-ai_team_member status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry ai_team_role-ai-executive ai_team_role-fac-fellows ai_member_department-humanities ai_member_department-philosophy ai_member_year-2019-2020\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-img desktop-6 tablet-12 mobile-12 \" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/team-members\/robert-stephens\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"popup-trigger\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Robert Stephens\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-960x960.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot.jpg 1932w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-meta desktop-18 popup-trigger\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"entry-title\">Robert Stephens<\/h4><span class=\"department\">Humanities<\/span>, <span class=\"department\">Philosophy<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"excerpt\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Robert Stephens teaches Philosophy and Humanities at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, and is the current Coordinator of the ALC Arts &amp; Culture Profile.
