Professor Matthew Roughan
The University of Adelaide
I obtained my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Adelaide in 1994. I have since worked for the Co-operative Research Centre for Sensor Signal and Information Processing (CSSIP), in conjunction with DSTO; at the Software Engineering Research Centre at RMIT and the University of Melbourne, in conjunction with Ericsson; and at the AT&T Shannon Research Labs in the United States.
For the last decade or so I have worked at the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Adelaide, in South Australia.
