Author Information

Don Koks studied at the University of Auckland in the 1980s, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science in pure and applied mathematics and physics, and a Master of Science in physics, with a thesis in applied accelerator physics for trace-element analysis. He was awarded a doctorate in mathematical physics by Adelaide University in 1997, with a thesis describing the use of quantum statistical methods to analyse decoherence, entropy, and thermal radiance in both the early universe and black hole theory. He has spent a summer working on the accelerator mass spectrometry programme at the Australian National University in Canberra, and has worked in commercial Internet development in Auckland. Currently he is a Research Scientist at the Defence Science and Technology Group in Adelaide, specialising in relativistic precision timing, satellite orbital prediction, 6-degree-of-freedom orientation concepts, and radar signal processing. He is the author of the book Explorations in Mathematical Physics: the Concepts Behind an Elegant Language (Springer, 2006).
