Biography

After graduating, Doug spent three years working on development, manufacture, testing and repair of FM broadcast transmitters and UHF Studio to Transmitter Links. He 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.

He has been with CSIRO since 1992. He worked on antenna metrology and led a comprehensive upgrade of CSIRO's antenna measurement facility hardware and software. He also designed components such as waveguide rotary joints and orthomode transducers and managed a number of antenna related projects.

Since 2003, he has been involved in the development and testing of focal plane arrays for radio astronomy. He recently completed a PhD in the field, titled Beamforming and evaluation of focal plane arrays for radio astronomy (10MB PDF file). He is now working on a calibration system for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) project.
