Kerry Corbett

Hear and see what some of our employees have to say here.

Kerry Corbett
PhD in Laser Physics; Bachelor of Science (Hons)

"Being able to work in this field as a young scientist is incredible. Since joining DSTO, I have come to appreciate the great benefits DSTO has to offer emerging scientists and engineers. It provides a stable, well funded research environment in all areas of defence related technology - many of which lie at the leading edge of current world-wide research efforts."

Joe Fabrizio
PhD; Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Hons)

"I was immediately impressed to see how theory learnt during my university course is used to provide solutions in an important real-life application. Being employed at DSTO has many other advantages. I've been able to attend a variety of personal and technical development courses relevant to my field of work. DSTO has also encouraged me to pursue further education by sponsoring my PhD studies which I recently finished. The PhD program has allowed me to link my DSTO research interests to external organisations such as the Centre for Sensor Signal and Information Processing and the University of Adelaide. From my experience, I strongly recommend research-orientated scientists and engineers to consider a career with DSTO."

Steve Scanlan
Bachelor of Science (Hons)

"One of the big attractions about DSTO for me is the variety of work, and in our capability area, the ability to immediately apply science to provide solutions to the ADF."

Heidi Millington
Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Hons)

"I love the diversity of the work with DSTO and the hands-on practical work that I get to do outside and on Navy ships. There are also greater opportunities to branch into new research areas at DSTO because there are so many different applications of science and engineering within the organisation. As for the near future, I am intending to do a PhD with application to the all electric ship concept, and feel very encouraged by the support I have received for this idea."

Anne-Marie Grisogono
PhD in Mathematical Physics; Graduate Diploma in Scientific Leadership; Bachelor of Science (Hons)

"For me, the relevance of the work to real needs is a definite plus. I find that being a DSTO scientist is a continuous learning experience, but with excellent technical and research support and a great team of colleagues, that makes it both stimulating and rewarding."
