In September 1998 I completed my Ph.D. at the
School of Mathematical Sciences at
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in
Brisbane, Australia. Australia has a Ph.D. defense process that is more
involved than in the United Stated. My thesis, titled
Mathematical
and Computer Modelling of the Human Brain
With Reference to Cortical Magnification and
Dipole Source Localisation in the Visual Cortex, was
examined/reviewed by a University committee and I had to defend it orally with
a presentation and questions by the public and the University
committee (similar to the process in the United States). Additionally, in Australia, a Ph.D. thesis is also reviewed/examined by an international committee of
three external reviewers outside of the University, a process that typically
takes 3-6 months. After successfully
defending my thesis to the QUT committee in September 1998, my thesis was
then examined by one reviewer from the United Kingdom,
one from the United States, and one from Australia.
I was awarded the degree Doctor of Philosphy (in Applied Mathematics) in
February 1999 and my graduation ceremony was in May 1999.
