Biography
I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia
some time ago. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in
1985 from the (then)
Applied
Mathematics Department at
Monash
University. I obtained my Phd in 1991 from the
Department
of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of the
University
of Cambridge (England) in Dynamical Systems, under the supervision
of
Paul Glendinning. I then
entered telecommunications by joining the Telecom Research Laboratories in Melbourne
where I spent 3 years and began my interest in `fractal' traffic. In 1994
I left to spend a year at the research labs of France Telecom, the
(then)
CNET
in Paris, working on long range dependent queueing in the group of
Jim
Roberts and Alain Simonian. After a brief stay of 3 months at the department
of
Teleinformatics of the KTH in Stockholm
as a guest lecturer, I returned to France as an ingénieur expert,
working in the internet group at
INRIA
Sophia Antipolis (near Nice) with
Jean
Bolot. At this time I began working on the applications of wavelet-based
parameter estimation with
Patrice
Abry from the Signal Analysis group of the
Ecole
Normale Supérieure de Lyon. I was then a consultant to Bellcore
(now
Telcordia), New Jersey USA,
for a period of 5 months, working in the group of
Ashok Erramilli. I
returned to Australia in January 1997 to join SERC,
an Ericsson funded software and networking research group, as a Senior
Research Fellow. The networking group moved to Melbourne University to
form EMULab in January 2000, which I managed before its merger with
CUBIN in 2002. In
2003-4 I was on sabbatical at
Sprint ATL, working
in the
IP group.
