Dr. Wayner, a retired scientist and public sector executive, has a distinguished career. He received his BSc in Chemistry from McMaster University in 1980 and a PhD in Chemistry from Dalhousie University in 1984. Following a successful research career at the National Research Council (NRC) from 1984 to 2001, Dr. Wayner transitioned to R&D management. He served as the founding Director General of the National Institute for Nanotechnology in Edmonton from 2001 to 2003 and later as Director General of the NRC Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences from 2003 to 2010.
Dr. Wayner then served as Vice President of Emerging Technologies at the NRC from 2010 to 2016.

As Vice President of Emerging Technologies, Dr. Wayner oversaw major science facilities, including astronomical observatories and TRIUMF, and managed programs in optical telecom, digital technologies, nanotechnologies, attosecond technologies, metrology, and advanced materials. He established a partnership with Xerox Corporation, leading to NRC’s first presence in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
