work in a number of high impact journals. He received two IEEE South Australia Section travel
 
scholarship awards and the Walter & Dorothy Duncan Trust Grant to present his research work at the 35th
 
and the 36th ''International Conference on Infrared Millimeter and Terahertz Waves'', held
 
at Rome in 2010 and in Houston, TX, in 2011, respectively. In March 2012, he obtained
 
a position at the  Defense Science and Technology Organisation, Edinburgh, as a radar
 
research scientist.
