'''Derek Abbott''' was born in South Kensington, London UK in 1960. In 1977, he began work at the [[GEC Hirst Research Centre]], Wembley, UK, and graduated from [[Loughborough University]], UK, with a BSc (Hons) in Physics. At Hirst, he was a research engineer until 1986, working in CCD, SOS, CMOS, and vacuum microelectronic technologies. He also worked on solid-state imagine sensors in the optical and infrared regimes. He migrated to Australia in 1986, and worked at [[Austek Microsystems]] as an analog VLSI design engineer until 1987. In the 1987-1991 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Adelaide, and also consulted for a number of companies including [[Austek Microsystems]] and British Aerospace. In 1992, he took up a postition as a Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, with tutoring resposibibilites.
at the NRI Institute of Information Science and Technology at Bhopal, India, where he
obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering with
honours. During his Bachelor Degree, he worked as a trainee at the Space Applications
Centre (Ahmedabad), Indian Space Research Organisation, in the Microwave Remote
Sensing Area (MRSA) and Microwave Sensors Data Acquisition and Processor
Division (MSDAPD), on a project entitled ''Matlab Simulation of Digital Pulse Compression
and its Implementation on Xilinx FPGA Device'' and successfully designed a Synthetic
Aperture Radar range compression chip.


In 2006, he came to Australia to pursue higher education and received his Master’s Degree
in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering (Adv.), from the University of
Adelaide in December 2007. Soon after that he was appointed as a research assistant at
the University of South Australia (and later at the University of Adelaide) to work on
various audio signal processing related projects for the Defense Science and Technology
Organisation (DSTO).
In August 2009, he was granted the University of Adelaide Divisional Scholarship to study
towards his PhD under the supervision of [[Brian W.-H. Ng]], [[Bernd M. Fischer]], and
[[Derek Abbott]]. During his candidature, Kaushik was successful in publishing his research
work in a number of high impact journals. He received two IEEE South Australia Section travel
scholarship awards and the Walter & Dorothy Duncan Trust Grant to present his research work at the 35th
and the 36th ''International Conference on Infrared Millimeter and Terahertz Waves'', held
at Rome in 2010 and in Houston, TX, in 2011, respectively. In March 2012, he obtained
a position at the  Defense Science and Technology Organisation, Edinburgh, as a radar
research scientist.
