Albert Brault

He distinguished himself by graduating magna cum laude from Saint Michaels College in Winooski, Vermont in 1959, and received a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Northwestern University in 1964.

[3] Brault was hired directly into the Kodak Research Laboratories (KRL) after receiving his PhD in 1964,[3] and primarily focused on innovations in color photography.

Brault's knowledge and experience enabled him to quickly recognize that a CFA meeting Dillon's requirements could be fabricated using sublimable dyes deposited onto a suitable substrate through photo-resist masks.

After retiring in 2001, Brault wrote a book entitled, "Human Resources Adding Value in Higher Education", for which he received the distinguished Kathryn G. Hansen Publication Award from CUPA in 2004.

Albert Brault and Peter Dillon both received Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards in 2019 for "Pioneering Development of the Single-Chip Color Camera".

[2][8] In 2022, they received the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award for "Contributions to the development of image sensors with integrated color filter arrays for digital video and still cameras".
