Dr. Christopher Essex, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Western Ontario (Western University), and former director of its Theoretical Physics Program, is a distinguished researcher known for pioneering work in the thermodynamics of photon and neutrino radiation. Notably, he accurately estimated the Earth's entropy production rate and computed the first correct peak temperatures for laser radiation. A sought-after international speaker, he has taught at UNESCO's advanced school in Udine, Italy, and presented at the Joint European Thermodynamics Conference in Chemnitz, Germany. Co-discoverer of the entropy production paradox, he made significant contributions to modern mathematics, uncovering Sierpinski triangles in the Vatican. His diverse work extends to chaos cryptography, dynamical systems theory, and climate modeling. Dr. Essex has chaired panels on climate for the World Federation of Scientists and the Academic Advisory Council of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Awarded the Frederick Seitz Award in 2023 for exceptional courage in the pursuit of knowledge, he has been denounced in the Canadian Parliament, blessed by the Vatican, cited in the US Senate, and lectured at the British House of Lords. His impactful career includes being a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar and receiving the Donner Prize in 2002 for the book "Taken by Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy, and Politics of Global Warming."
