DSTO–TN–0640AuthorDon KoksElectronic Warfare and Radar DivisionDon Koks completed a doctorate in mathematical physics atAdelaide University in 1996, with a dissertation describing theuse of quantum statistical methods to analyse decoherence, entropyand thermal radiance in both the early universe and blackhole theory. He holds a Bachelor of Science from the Universityof Auckland in pure and applied mathematics, and a Masterof Science in physics from the same university with a thesisin applied accelerator physics (proton-induced X-ray and γ-rayemission for trace element analysis). He has worked on the acceleratormass spectrometry programme at the Australian NationalUniversity in Canberra, as well as in commercial internetdevelopment. Currently he is a Research Scientist with theMaritime Systems group in the Electronic Warfare and RadarDivision at DSTO, specialising in data fusion, geolocation, andthree-dimensional rotations.v
