Tom Smy is a professor in the Department of Electronics at Carleton University, specializing in physical simulations, thin film processing, and thermal, electrical, and electromagnetic phenomena. His research has led to the development of a suite of physical software tools, including SIMBAD, 3D-FILMS, and Atar, which are marketed worldwide for simulation modeling of material parameters and device characteristics in microelectronic systems, as well as nano-structured materials in thin films. Ongoing work involves the development of a multi-energy domain opto-electronic simulator named Optispice, in collaboration with Optiwave based in Ottawa. The SIMBAD simulation suite is widely utilized in the advancement of silicon chip technology and the creation of nano-structured thin films. Optispice has applications that span a variety of optical, sensor, and telecommunications systems. Professor Smy actively collaborates with several international entities, including IBM, and maintains partnerships with local companies such as Optiwave.
