Development of curricula

As is noted in Table 1, in almost all courses taught, I have defined the course syllabus.
Specific initiatives include the introduction: (1) in 1976 of a Level 1 course incorporating
microprocessor technology; (2) in 1982 of a Level 2 course in microelectronic design; (3) in
1982 of postgraduate courses in computer aided design; (4) a new Level 3 course in
Experimental Electrical Engineering with specific examining initiatives; (5) a Level 4 core
course in Electromagnetic Compatibility; (6) a postgraduate course in Advanced
Electromagnetics and RFID Applications.

4.3

Initiatives in teaching and assessment methods

I have in teaching been concerned by the observations that: (1) learning in later years has been
handicapped by the fact that many students lack a mastery of fundamental concepts; (2) when
students work in practical groups, one student frequently misses valuable experience; (3)
traditional assessment methods do not easily reveal student problems so that remedial action
may be taken. In response I have introduced at Level 3 teaching and assessment methods
which include direct examination of individual measurement skills, and an examination, with a
pass mark of 75%, on formally identified fundamental theoretical concepts. I have also
succeeded in persuading the Department to deal specifically and deliberately with
communication problems of students coming from non-English speaking backgrounds.
4.4

Supervision and guidance of students

Students which I have supervised at the University of Adelaide are listed in Table 2 below,

Preparation of course materials

The course materials constructed over the last five years consist of 1,500 pages of notes in
Latex format. They have been passed to at least five other lecturers, who taken advantage of
the flexibility afforded by that format to incorporate the material supplied into their own notes.
4.6

Invited external courses

I have presented professional level courses in microelectronic technology and digital

microelectronic design in Australia and Singapore, and at the request of the Australian
Government presented a one week course on Microelectronic Design at the Bandung
University of Technology, Indonesia. In July 1995 I presented with two other members of the
University staff a course in radio frequency engineering to engineers at the DSTO Salisbury,
-5-

and have repeated that exercise in a subsequent year. In the period 2001 to 2006 I have
presented courses and workshops in RFID at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at
many international conferences, and at the Information and Telecommunications University in
Korea.
5.

RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY

5.1

Range of interests

I have had in may career the following range of research interests.

1. Fundamental and non-linear interactions within material media, with an emphasis on the
microwave behaviour of magnetic media.
2. The description and exploitation of electroacoustic phenomena.
3. The design of electronic and communication systems to perform useful but so far
unrealised engineering functions.
4. The conception, structuring and coding of software tools for microelectronic design.
5. The development of pathways for industry, particularly local industry, to be able to exploit
microelectronic technology and thus to share in the generation of wealth which the
exploitation of such technology can provide.
6. The development of increased understanding of electromagnetic theory and tools for
modelling electromagnetic problems.
7. The creation of tightly specified antenna structures for a range of applications in both the
near and far field.
8. The in-depth study of physical processes in microcircuits as a support for the innovative
design of analog and digital microcircuits.
9. The invention of a number of RFID systems based on the possibilities and the constraints
inherent in a wide range of physical and human law, and on a sober assessment of all
relevant aspects of engineering reality, and the deployment of the skills necessary for
successful implementation of the creative concepts.
10. The creation and management of high technology companies as a vehicle for conveying
University creativity to the wider community.
5.2

Chronology

In parallel with my teaching, administrative and research responsibilities at the University, I

have since returning from the United States to Australia maintained a continuous program of
technological innovation with industrial application.
In the early stages, this work was directed toward the improvement of electronic retailing
security labels, and led to several patents which were for their full term licensed to and
returned income from the US Company Sensormatic Electronics Corporation.
Later work turned to the exploitation of acoustic surface wave technology for the production
of many-bit replies from passive electromagnetically encoded labels, and a further series of
patents resulted. This work is currently licensed both locally and overseas, and is in use in
specialised electromagnetic labelling applications, particularly in highway vehicle identification.

-6-

Even later work deriving out of an analytical investigation of the properties of near-field
electromagnetic coupling systems resulted in the development of the passive sub-harmonic
transponder, again patented world-wide, but this time licensed to a local company and used in
vehicle identification and monitoring.
During the course of this work it became evident that the capacity of Australian industry to
bring to market new products in electronic technology depended upon having ready access to
economical but world-class microcircuit design software, advice and fabrication. This
observation led to the foundation in 1984 of the Company Integrated Silicon Design Pty. Ltd.,
whose locally developed microelectronic design software has been in use in approximately fifty
sites in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the USA, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and
Switzerland. I have served, since its foundation in 1984 until its sale in 1999 to Gemplus
S.C.A., as Chairman of Directors of this company, and have designed and made substantial
contributions to the writing of this software. Prior to the arrival in Australia in 1985 of a newly
appointed Managing Director, I discharged the management responsibilities of that company.
The program of industrial innovation of recent years has also extended to my design of a range
of microcircuits for passive electronic labelling systems; microcircuits for thermal imaging
systems; and the design of communication and signal processing systems for remote passive
label interrogation. In the course of this work several patents relating to optimum design have
been successfully prosecuted, and others are pending. In all of this work I have had the
responsibilities of providing the fundamental ideas for, and of leading, a research team
consisting of experienced staff at Integrated Silicon Design Pty. Ltd. The work has been
subject to the rigour of successful testing in the commercial arena against world competition.
The scope of one portion of this work can be described by taking, as an example, the ISD
9664 microcircuit, which forms a complete and complex single silicon chip communication
system. This device requires just a small coil antenna connected to its single pair of terminals
to perform the disparate functions of: self-powering; signal reception; signal demodulation;
timing and clock signal extraction; data decoding; data storage; data retrieval; data framing;
reply carrier generation; reply modulation; and reply transmission. My responsibilities lay in
generating the system concept, system architecture, realisation of that architecture as
functional blocks, research into uncharted areas of self-power generation and sub-threshold
operation, realisation of key blocks as circuit schematics, simulation, advice on layout, layout
checking, and chip testing.
5.3

Current objectives

My current research interests can be summarised as covering the industrial applications of

electromagnetic identification and tracking systems, the design of signalling methodologies for
simultaneous high speed reading of multiple electronic labels, the design of security systems
for RFID labels, and development of international standards for RFID systems.
My current professional interests include the support of high technology enterprises in
Australia, and pursuit of Commonwealth government support for research. My current
personal teaching interests include the development of application-oriented postgraduate
courses in RFID systems.

5.4

Significant achievements

1. A distinguished educational record, outlined in Section 3, in which the applicant has twice
graduated at the head of a large cohort of fellow students.

-7-

2. Successful resolution in Reference 7 of Section 8.3 of conflicts between observation and

the then-accepted theories of magnetoelastic interactions is single crystals.
3. Service to the University community as Secretary of the University of Adelaide Staff
Association.
4. Teaching over a wide range of topic areas in the Engineering curriculum, with emphasis on
quality of presentation, maintenance of academic standards, and concern for the welfare
of all students.
5. Attracting a significant level of research funding to the University and its affiliates.
6. A long history of innovation, resulting in many successfully commercialised patents listed
in Section 8.2.
7. A significant contribution, through Patent [3] of Section 8.2, to the viability of companies
engaged in store merchandising security operations. Devices operating under licence of
the relevant patent have been sold in tens of millions.
8. Creation of the technology of one-port acoustic surface wave information storage and
electronically interrogatable label systems. Patents [1] and [4] of Section 8.2 have been
licensed to companies in Australia and the USA, and have been marketed over decades.
9. An enduring and fruitful interest in technology transfer from University to Industry.
10. Uncovering, patenting (Patent [6] of Section 8.2) and supporting the commercialisation of
the principle of reactive power conservation in the design of modulated code-responding
devices (electronic tags).
11. Foundation of the company Integrated Silicon Design Pty. Ltd. This Company under its
original and current ownership, has served as:
(a) a professional interface between University expertise and the wider industrial
community;
(b) a demonstration of the independent economic viability of University technical
expertise;
(c) a vehicle for development of a higher level of technical skill than is easily achievable in
a transient university population;
(d) a mechanism for feeding back to the University that knowledge for enhancement of
university expertise; and
(e) a context where the need for realistic assessments is continuously emphasised.
12. Design of microelectronic microwave backscatter systems, using principles patented
(Patents [7] to [23] of Section 8.2), and supervision of the development of those systems,
to achieve preference in world wide competition against alternative products, and
consequential world wide (Australia, USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, New Zealand) sales of those products in large numbers.
13. Leading a team, with significant personal input, in the creation of software tools for
successful microelectronic design. These software tools have been used nationally and
internationally in the creation of both commercially marketable products and leading edge
defence products.
14. Design of microcircuits of significant complexity and size for several industrial customers.
The circuits have employed a mixture of digital, analog, cmos, bipolar, low noise,
electrically erasable and programmable read only memory, and sub-threshold circuit
technologies. All of these products have achieved the initial and commercially regulated
design specifications. Many have been sold in hundreds of thousands, with sales increasing.
15. Ensuring the validity of analyses of electromagnetic antennas integrated on the electrically
thick substrates, and arrays of such antennas, as defined in references [30] to [33] of
Section 8.3 and [20] to [26] of Section 8.4.

-8-

16. Significant contributions to the development of a fully automated library labelling and
stock management system being deployed in the National Library system of Singapore and
in libraries in the US.A., France, Norway, and Sweden.
17. Design of systems for highly efficient electronic label reading in item management
applications, protection of intellectual property in that arena, and presentation of that work
to ISO standards committees.
18. Establishing of the Adelaide Auto-ID Laboratory supported by many years with funds
from MIT.
5.5

Research grants obtained

During the years 1968 to 1981, I was awarded by the ARGC, Telecom the Radio Research
Board and a USA corporation a total of twenty research grants totalling $83,000 for
University research in electrical engineering.
In 1991 I received an ARC grant of $25,000, in 1993 an ARC grant (shared) of 5,000, and in
1992 and 1997 University research scheme grants totalling $25,000.
Since 1981 I have been intensively concerned with leading-edge industrially based research. I
have devised and written research proposals which have led to three Australian Industrial
Research and Development Grants totalling $890,000 for successfully completed work on
electromagnetic labelling systems and computer aided design tools for microelectronic circuits,
and in 1988-90 secured a University-ISD generic technology grant to the value of $390,000.
I have also provided the technical basis for two further industrial research proposals which
have led to grants totalling $354,000 for work in vehicular detection and monitoring systems
in a non-University company.
In 1993-95 I was awarded an ARC collaborative research grant which, with contributions
from the Commonwealth and the Company will provide, in addition to assistance given in
kind, a cash input to the University of $332,000.
I have secured in 1991 and 1996 APRI grants providing a cash input to the University of
$182,000.
On 17 May 2002 I obtained from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology a research subward to the value US$757,265 for research in Auto-ID Systems to be carried out in the
University of Adelaide during the period 1 June 2002 to 30 July 2005 A second award to the
value of US$600.000 covering the calendar years 2005 to 2007 was also obtained. A third
sub-award is being negotiated.

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY AND SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

7.1

Overseas consultation

1. Consulting to Sensormatic Electronics Corporation, a large US corporation, on airline

baggage tagging using surface acoustic wave devices. This work was done in partnership
with a colleague at the University of NSW. The outcome was apparatus providing a
demonstration of the technology, financial studies of large scale manufacturing plants,
together with patent applicants where were eventually granted and licensed to Sensormatic
for an annual royalty.
2. Consultant to ISD in development for Hughes Aircraft Corporation of a microelectronic
based airline baggage sorting identification system. My part of this work was in defining

7.3

Foundation of a technology company

I was a founder in 1964 of the University commercialisation Company Integrated Silicon

Design Pty. Ltd. From its foundation until its sale to Gemplus S.C.A in 1999 I served
continuously as Chairman of Directors.
The specific objective in the formation of the Company was the empirical demonstration of the
excellence and world ranking of research at The University of Adelaide, showing that
University expertise can be the foundation for the development of in-demand products of
world standard, and can be successfully translated to financial benefit for the Australian
economy.
The significant tasks have been the exercise of vision, determination, realism, industry and
probity in the governance and technical development of the Company.
The specific outcomes have been the continued growth of the Company in personnel and sales,
the range, technical superiority and quality of its products; its international reputation for
creativity and integrity, its sale to Gemplus SCA, its continued growth and emergence of
dominant player world wide in RFID systems, and the continuing interest of that Company in
University-Company collaboration.
7.4

The development and enhancement of the discipline

In response to a clear need by Australian industry for such a resource, I created in 1985, in
conjunction with colleagues in Integrated Silicon Design Pty. Ltd. a suite of computer aided
design tools for custom mos integrated circuits. The result has been an enabling technology
which has allowed Australian and overseas industry to take advantage of the microelectronic
revolution. In that work the applicant supervised the construction, wrote the design rule
checker, and created most of the documentation.
The product has been sold in Australia, Asia and Europe. It has been used by DSTO in the
development of a series of advanced signal processing circuits. It has been used by myself and
ISD in the design for DSTO of the low cost thermal imaging systems reported above. It has
also been used by ISD in the development of electronic labelling devices. It has been used for
years by the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in their teaching of
microelectronic design.
7.5

The practice of the discipline

I have unpublished work which has been circulated to interested parties in the following
technology areas.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
