Karu Esselle is the Director of Postgraduate Research in the Division of Information and Communication Sciences, which consist of four Departments, and the Director of the Centre for Electromagnetic and Antenna Engineering (CELANE), Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. The CELANE, which Karu formed in 1992, currently has a strong team of researchers including four postdoctoral fellows, six PhD students, one Adjunct Professor and one Visiting Professor. Since 2002, Karu was involved with research grants and contracts worth over three million dollars, and his research team members attracted further grants worth about a million dollars. Karu has co-authored over 150 papers, including five invited book chapters. Karu serves as a research grant assessor to several organizations including the Australian Research Council, Hong-Kong University Grants Commission and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (Dutch research council). He led the establishment of a national antenna testing facility funded by the Australian Research Council, Macquarie University and six other collaborating institutions, and he is currently directing this facility. His industry experience includes full-time employment as a Faculty Hire Design Expert by the Hewlett Packard Laboratory, Palo Alto, USA, and several consultancies for local and international companies including Cisco Systems (USA) and Locata Corporation. His recent awards include the 2004 Macquarie University Inaugural Invention Award for best invention disclose. His postgraduate students and research associates have also received prestigious awards such as IEEE MTT-S Graduate Fellowships, IEEE NSW best student paper (Max Symon) awards and URSI Young Scientist Awards.
