'''Mayank Kaushik''' was born in Gujarat, India in 1983. From 2001-2005, he was educated
 
at the NRI Institute of Information Science and Technology at Bhopal, India, where he
 
obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering with
 
honours. During his Bachelor Degree, he worked as a trainee at the Space Applications
 
Centre (Ahmedabad), Indian Space Research Organisation, in the Microwave Remote
 
Sensing Area (MRSA) and Microwave Sensors Data Acquisition and Processor
 
Division (MSDAPD), on a project entitled ''Matlab Simulation of Digital Pulse Compression
 
and its Implementation on Xilinx FPGA Device'' and successfully designed a Synthetic
 
Aperture Radar range compression chip.
 
  
In 2006, he came to Australia to pursue higher education and received his Master’s Degree
 
in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering (Adv.), from the University of
 
Adelaide in December 2007. Soon after that he was appointed as a research assistant at
 
the University of South Australia (and later at the University of Adelaide) to work on
 
various audio signal processing related projects for the Defense Science and Technology
 
Organisation (DSTO).
 
  
In August 2009, he was granted the University of Adelaide Divisional Scholarship to study

'''Derek Abbott''' was born in South Kensington, London UK in 1960. In 1978, he began work at the [[GEC Hirst Research Centre]], London, UK, and graduated from [[Loughborough University]], UK, with a BSc (Hons) in Physics. At Hirst, he was a Research Engineer until 1986, working in CCD, SOS, CMOS, and vacuum microelectronic technologies. He also worked on solid-state image sensors in the optical and infrared regimes. He migrated to Australia in 1986, and worked at [[Austek Microsystems]] as an analog VLSI design engineer until 1987. In 1987-1990, he was a part-time Research Engineer at the University of Adelaide, and also consulted for a number of companies including Austek Microsystems and British Aerospace. In 1990, he took up a position as a Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, where he completed his PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in 1995 and graduated in 1997. He was promoted to Professor in 2006. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers and also a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.
