Prof. Dr. Stuart Anderson

Stuart J. Anderson received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Western Australia before joining the team formed to develop the Jindalee over-the-horizon radar system, where he assumed responsibility for ocean surveillance and remote sensing, leading to the world’s first fully operational OTHR ocean surveillance system. He is a visiting professor at several universities in Australia and overseas, including University College London, Université Paris VI, and Université Rennes I, which, in 2005, awarded him an honorary doctorate for his contributions to radar science. In 2014, he retired from DSTO and took up a position at the University of Adelaide. Dr. Anderson was the recipient of the 1992 Australian Minister of Defence Science Award for Research Achievement for his pioneering contributions to over-the-horizon radar in both skywave and surface waveforms. He is the principal author of the chapter on OTH radar in the authoritative Radar Handbook.
