Biography
Professor Manton received his Bachelor of Science (mathematics) and
Bachelor of Engineering (electrical) degrees in 1995 and his Ph.D.
degree in 1998, all from the University of Melbourne, Australia.
From 1998 to 2004, he was with the Department of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne. During that
time, he held a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship then subsequently
a Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship, both from the Australian Research
Council. In 2005 he became a full Professor in the Department of
Information Engineering, Research School of Information Sciences
and Engineering (RSISE) at the Australian National University. From
July 2006 till May 2008, he was on secondment to the Australian
Research Council as Executive Director, Mathematics, Information
and Communication Sciences. Currently, he holds a distinguished
Chair at the University of Melbourne with the title Future Generation
Professor. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Mathematical
Sciences Institute at the Australian National University. Professor
Manton's traditional research interests range from pure mathematics
(e.g. commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, differential geometry)
to engineering (e.g. signal processing, wireless communications).
Recently though, led by a desire to participate in the convergence
of the life sciences and the mathematical sciences, he has commenced
learning neuroscience. Professor Manton also has extensive experience in software development.
