Peter Gerrand
Peter Gerrand is an honorary Professorial Fellow at the Melbourne School of Engineering, University of Melbourne; and an Adjunct Associate Professor (Research) in the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics at Monash University. He is a founding Director of TelSoc (July 2013), the reincarnation of the former Telecommunications Society of Australia.
He was awarded the Charles Todd Medal by ATUG in 1998 'for outstanding contributions to the telecommunications industry', an Australian Government Centenary Medal in 2001 'for outstanding service to science and technology particularly to public science policy', and Life Membership by the TSA in 2003.
He is the founding Managing Editor of the Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy (first issue published in November 2013), having previously been Editor-in-Chief of the Telecommunications Journal of Australia from 1994 to 2013.
Amongst career highlights, he was an engineering executive in Telecom Australia/Telstra where he successively led network research, network product development, network planning and network strategy groups, until 1993. He subsequently became a professor of telecommunications at two universities (RMIT in 1993-6 and then Melbourne from 1996 to the present). He was the founding CEO of the University of Melbourne’s subsidiary Melbourne IT from 1996 to 2000, which he established as a successful international domain name registrar before publicly listing it in December 1999 (ASX: MLB). He developed AUSTEL’s Interconnect Model (1995) as an independent expert consultant to the Australian telecommunications regulator. From 1993 to 2003 he was Chairman of the Telecommunication Society of Australia Ltd.
He is author of the monograph An Interconnection Model for Modern Telecommunications (1998) and ‘Revisiting the Structural Separation of Telstra’ (TJA vol. 54 no.3, 2004, pp.15-28). The latter article served to rekindle policy debate on that topic after it had been ruled out by the then Minister for Communications.
From 2004-2007 he carried out research at La Trobe University in the School of European and Historical Studies, and was awarded a PhD in Spanish and Catalan studies in 2008. His thesis, “Minority languages on the Internet: promoting the regional languages of Spain”, was published by VDM Verlag in 2009.
