Biography

Jean works in the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University as a Professor. She has extensive experience in the field of digital communications, particularly orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). She has led an OFDM research group since 1996. This group initially worked on RF wireless application of OFDM but more recently has been a leading group in OFDM for optical communications, particularly for intensity modulated direct detection optical systems including indoor communications using visible light LEDs and plastic optical fiber systems. She has also extensive experience in engineering education particularly student centred learning and has led major curriculum redesign initiatives at Monash University and earlier at La Trobe University and University of Melbourne. She was one of the first women engineering academics in Australia and has been very active in encouraging women engineers.

Jean Armstrong (M’89-SM’06) received the B.Sc. (First Class Honours) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland in 1974, the M.Sc. in Digital Techniques from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland in 1980, and the Ph.D. in Digital Communications from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia in 1993. From 1974-1977 she worked as a Design Engineer at Hewlett-Packard Ltd., Scotland. In 1977 she was appointed Lecturer in Electrical Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Since 1977 she has held a range of academic positions at the University of Melbourne, Monash University and La Trobe University. She is currently a Professor at Monash University. Her research interests include digital communications, engineering education, and women in engineering. She has published over one hundred papers including over seventy on aspects of OFDM. Her work on OFDM has also led to a number of commercialized patents. Professor Armstrong has been the recipient of numerous awards including induction into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, the Peter Doherty for the best commercialization opportunity in Australia in 2006 (joint winner), Institution of Engineers, Australia, Engineering 2000 Award, Zonta International Amelia Earhart Fellowship and Caroline Haslett Memorial Scholarship. She is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia.
