Keynote speaker
BILL MORAN is the Research Director of Melbourne Systems Laboratory (MSL); a
research institute in the Department of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia, where he has been a
Professor of Electrical Engineering since 2001. Previously he
was Professor of Mathematics ('76--'91), Head of the Department of Pure
Mathematics ('77--'79, '84--'86), Dean of Mathematical and Computer
Sciences ('81, '82, '89) at the University of Adelaide, and Head of the
Mathematics Discipline at the Flinders University of South Australia
(91'--95'). He was a Chief Investigator ('92--'95), and Head of the Medical
Signal Processing Program ('95--'99) in the Cooperative Research Centre for
Sensor Signal and Information Processing. He was elected to the Fellowship of
the Australian Academy of Science in 1984. He holds a Ph.D. in Pure
Mathematics from the University of Sheffield, UK ('68), and a First Class
Honours B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Birmingham ('65).
He has been a Principal Investigator on numerous research grants and
contracts, in areas spanning pure mathematics to radar development, from both
Australian and US Research Funding Agencies, including DARPA, AFOSR, AFRL,
Australian Research Council (ARC), Australian Department of Education, Science
and Training, DSTO. He is a member of the Australian Research Council College
of Experts.
His main areas of research interest are in signal processing both theoretically and in applications to radar, waveform design and radar theory, sensor networks, and sensor management. He also works in various areas of mathematics including harmonic analysis, representation theory, and number theory.
