Bio:In the past I have won a number of university prizes in engineering and mathematics, received a University Medal at UNSW and the Australian Telecommunications and Electronics Research Board Medal, held a Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship and made grade of IEEE Fellow. I've (co)-supervised between 28-32 PhD students at ANU (depending on how you count) and collaborated on many papers and book chapters (around 240).
In an earlier career phase I worked on the Australia Telescope project at CSIRO where I busied myself with: surveying for the compact array stations, field RF interference measurements, radio telescope control system design (Masters degree) and RF analysis of shaped cassegrain reflector systems. Despite this the Telescope works even today.
Currently obsessed with windsurfing and a competent Squash player. Played representative cricket, soccer, baseball and squash.
Favourite sayings: "People have died for less" and "Small things amuse small minds". |
