Updated November 2006. I work at Canon Information Systems Research Australia. Canon does some of their research and development in Sydney, which is unusual for a multi-national company.
Work and research In June 2004 I was awarded a PhD in Physics.
My thesis reported on my research in the Physical Optics Laboratory - part of the School of Physics, Sydney Uni.
- M. R. Arnison, Phase control and measurement in digital microscopy [3.8 MB PDF], Univ. of Sydney, 2004.
What was my PhD about? Among other things, extending the depth of focus in high resolution light microscopy. We used a technique called wavefront coding.
This picture shows iso-surfaces of the vectorial optical transfer function, which helped me evaluate the performance of our microscope.
I have online reprints of some papers and talks I have been involved in:

I used to work for the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia.
I used to work for VisLab too.
