   Dr Brett's study of microstructure in thin-film coatings led to authorship of an internationally known simulator (SIMBAD) to predict thin film structure.Most major microelectronic and equipment firms worldwide, including IBM, Toshiba and Intel, have purchased SIMBAD for use in development of integrated circuit processes.Dr Brett's interest in microstructures also led him and his research group to invent the GLAD (Glancing Angle Deposition) process for nanoengineering thin films capable of controlling structure at the nanometre scale.
   
   Dr Brett consistently establishes standards of excellence and innovative leadership at the University of Alberta.He was a key leader in the creation of the University of Alberta MicroFab, a micro fabrication lab with an open access policy so that industry and external researchers can use the equipment.He has been awarded the McCalla and Killam Research Professorships, and the Rutherford Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.

   Dr Brett's research will include nanoengineering of thin film structures for application in devices in the fields of photonics, displays, magnetic storage, catalysis, and sensing.In collaboration with other researchers, this work will involve, for instance, development of hybrid inorganic/liquid crystal optical devices, mechanical resonators with tunable characteristics, and methods for low cost nanofabrication methods for photonic crystals, a possible component of future optical computers.
   
   Research TeamIn addition to Drs Freeman and Brett, the iCORE Nanoscale Engineering Physics Initiative involves current nanoscience and engineering researchers from the departments of physics and computer and electrical engineering at the U of A, and incorporates a plan for additional recruitment in this field.The initiative also supports the MicroFab in maintenance of the open access policy, which will enable industry researchers, and researchers from other universities, to access specialized nanofabrication equipment and processes that would otherwise be unavailable.
