Killam Annual Professorships
Feature Article
Killam professor started by taking radios apart
The focus of Dr. Steven Dew's research is invisible to the naked eye. But the impact of his research, teaching, and leadership has been noticeable indeed, which explains why the University of Alberta Associate Dean of Engineering is a recipient of this year's Killam Annual Professorship. Many researchers are finding nanotechnology aspects in their work. Dew's research falls under the general heading of nanotechnology, thin film technology, and microdevices.

Killam professor’s no ivory-tower academic
In addition to accomplishments in research and teaching, a Killam Professorship applicant is considered in light of community involvement. Dr. Dean Befus's involvement in the community extends back more than three decades to his undergraduate days at the University of Alberta. His work, since assuming the directorship of the Asthma Centre, has been expressly community oriented and has included the development and implementation of educational programs for children with asthma. He has also encouraged health care professionals to develop a team-based approach to disease management.

The Killam Annual Professorships were established in July 1991 to suitably acknowledge the generous Izaak Walton and Dorothy Killam bequest. The award is granted to faculty members based on the quality of their scholarly activities such as teaching, research, publications, creative activities, presented papers, and supervision of graduate students.
