On November 6th, The Carleton University Alumni Association presented Azizur Rahman (PhD/68) with the 2008 A.D. Dunton Alumni Award of Distinction-Carleton’s most prestigious alumni honour.
Dr. Rahman, university research professor for life at Memorial University of Newfoundland, received the award in honour of more than 46 years as a leader, teacher, researcher and consultant in the engineering field. He is recognized as one of the founding innovators of modern power engineering and a pioneer in the development and application of interior permanent magnet motors and associated drive technology-used in the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, the Toyota Prius.
The A.D. Dunton Alumni Award of Distinction is given annually to a Carleton graduate in recognition of outstanding achievement or contribution in any field of endeavour. The award is named in memory of Carleton’s fourth president, Arnold Davidson Dunton.
