Biography
Rajendran Parthiban completed his Bachelor of Engineering with first class honours in 1997, and his PhD in optical networks in 2004 from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He worked at Akbar Brothers Pvt. Ltd. (Sri Lanka) from 1998 to 2000, where he computerized many of the company functions. In 2004, he joined the ARC Special Research Centre for Ultra-Broadband Information Networks (CUBIN) at the University of Melbourne. In CUBIN, he conducted research in developing new and cost-effective optical network architectures for carrying future Internet traffic. He joined as a lecturer at the School of Engineering in Monash University Malaysia in 2006, where he served as the Chair of Photonics, Semiconductor and Communications Technology Research Strength and the Discipline Head of the Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering from July 2009 to July 2010. He also served as the Deputy Head of School of the School of Information Technology from August 2014 to June 2021. He was appointed as the Deputy Head of School (Education) of the School of Engineering in August 2010. He was also a Professor at the same school until July 2022. He moved to Monash Australia as the Associate Dean (Education) of the Faculty of Engineering in July 2022 and is now the Deputy Dean (Education) of the same Faculty. He has experience in teaching six undergraduate and one postgraduate subjects. He has achieved exceptional unit evaluation scores for subjects taught. His research interests are in optical networks, visible light communications, vehicular communication, Internet of Things and engineering education. He has over 100 journal and conference publications. He obtained external grants worth over A$800k. Eighteen PhD and two Master students have completed their studies under his supervision. He is a member of Engineers Australia (EA) and a senior member of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and Optica (formerly known as the Optical Society of America (OSA)).
