Exceptional award for pioneer of signal and adaptive control systems research in Australia
Distinguished Professor Brian Anderson of the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science has been honoured by His Majesty the Emperor of Japan by being awarded The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon. Professor Anderson was presented with the Order at a special ceremony hosted by His Excellency Mr Takaaki Kojima, Ambassador to Japan in Canberra last night.
"The award is for his outstanding contribution in bringing Australia and Japan together in the academic sphere including the scheme he initiated to invite Japanese researchers to ANU and his ongoing collaboration with Japanese researchers," said Professor Mick Cardew-Hall, Acting Dean of the College.
Professor Anderson pioneered signal and adaptive control systems research in Australia, and founded the Research School of Information Sciences and Engineering at ANU. He led the team that won the bid for NICTA and was its first Chief Scientist.
"On behalf of all staff and students in the College, I'd like to congratulate Brian on this exceptional award," said Professor Cardew-Hall.
