Biography

After graduating, I spent three years working on development, manufacture, testing and repair of FM broadcast transmitters and UHF Studio to Transmitter Links. I then moved to AUSSAT, now Optus, and for two years worked on project managing reconfiguring earth stations, commissioning testing as well as circuit level supervisory and control system design.

At CSIRO, my projects have involved a number of electromagnetic designs including a flat plate antenna for domestic satellite reception, waveguide rotary joint design and dielectric measurements. I have also focussed on antenna metrology and have been involved in the upgrade of our antenna range hardware and software. In 2003, I embarked on a part time PhD with the Australia Telescope National Facility in the field of focal plane arrays for radio astronomy.
