| Dr Carlo Kopp was born in
Perth [More ...],
Western Australia. He attended the University
of Western Australia [More...] , and
graduated in Electrical Engineering with First Class Honours, in
1984. In 1996 he
completed a research
Masters degree in Computer Science at Monash
University [More ...] in
Melbourne, dealing with interprocess communications and I/O abstraction
in secure password-capability operating systems [More ...].
In September, 2000, he
completed his PhD thesis, which dealt with the properties of high
capacity ad hoc networks and
long range microwave datalinks,
using X-band
and Ku-band radar apertures [More...]. Both theses
were
done under the supervision of the late Prof
Chris Wallace [More
...]. His professional and career interests have been broad, spanning defence analysis, strategy, systems engineering and computer science. He currently holds a part time position at the Monash University Clayton School of IT, involving research, postgraduate supervision, and both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching duties. He consults and writes in his remaining time. He also held a wide range of positions in the computer and communications industries, primarily as a design engineer, computer programmer, systems integrator and consultant. His best known project in the computer industry was the design and development of the first Australian manufactured SPARC computer, in 1993 [More ...]. He has also designed or developed high speed optical fibre and free space infra-red datalink communications equipment, medium speed multiplexer equipment, graphics adaptors, and miscellaneous other items of computer and communications equipment and embedded software, and performed reliability modelling of equipment [More ...]. Dr Kopp has consulted to private industry and government organisations, in areas ranging from computer and network performance, to strategy and operational analysis. He has been most visible publicly as a defence analyst, since 1980. He has written for Amberley based Defence Today, Canberra based Australian Aviation, Sydney based Asia Pacific Defence Reporter and Defence Review Asia, The Age and Australian Financial Review, the US based Journal of Electronic Defence, and the UK based Jane's Missiles and Rockets, and Air International. He has also provided numerous television and radio interviews in recent years. His current research interests in the military sciences domain encompass air warfare strategy and doctrine, proliferation of Russian weapons technology, aircraft combat survivability, network centric and information warfare. His work in these areas has been published by the United States Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force. He produced extensive contributions to the 2000 Defence White Paper debate, testified to the federal parliamentary Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit and the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade on RAAF force structure planning and national military strategy issues, and has delivered invited papers to a number of conferences on defence related topics. In September, 2003, he was appointed a Visiting Research Fellow at the Australian Defence Studies Centre (UNSW@ADFA) for twelve months, specialising in air power and military strategy, and in February, 2005, he was appointed a Research Fellow at the Monash Asia Institute, specialising in regional military strategy. He has contributed papers to the International Assessment and Strategy Center, and the Jamestown China Brief in Washington DC, and the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in Canberra. His current research interests in the science and engineering domains include the information theory underpinning information warfare (the four canonical strategies of information warfare), the evolutionary impact of information warfare [More ...], mobile ad hoc and survivable networking, network integration of satellite navigation systems [More ...], systems survivability especially in relation to electromagnetic weapons, radar performance and signature modelling. He has authored or co-authored to date four book chapters, seventeen refereed journal papers and thirty conference papers, one of which received a best paper award. In 2006, Dr Kopp developed and taught the first ever university level honours topic on Information Warfare [More ...] in Australia. In October 2004 he cofounded the Air Power Australia think tank and Air Power Australia Analyses peer reviewed online journal - he remains editor of both. Dr Kopp is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics , a Senior Member of the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and a Member of the Association of Old Crows. In 2010, Dr Kopp received the Australian Industry Certificate award from the Association of Old Crows. Last updated October 2011 |
