Derek Abbott (3 May 1960, in South Kensington, London, UK) is a physicist and electronic engineer.
In the 1969-1971 period, he was a boarder at Copthorne Preparatory School, Sussex, UK.[1] He attended Copthorne at the same time as the deputy editor of Private Eye, Francis Wheen.[2]
During 1971-1978 he attended the Holland Park School, London,[1] sometimes called "the socialist Eton."
In late 1977, he began work at GEC Hirst Research Centre, Wembley, UK,[3] performing research in the area of CCD and microchip design for imaging systems. Whilst working, he graduated in 1982 with a BSc in Physics from Loughborough University,[4] where his key intellectual influence was Nicholas J. Phillips. In 1986, at the time when the mysterious GEC deaths started, he began work as a microchip designer at Austek Microsystems in Adelaide, Australia. In 1987, he joined the University of Adelaide completing his PhD thesis in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in 1995, entitled GaAs MESFET Photodetectors for Imaging Arrays, under Kamran Eshraghian and Bruce R. Davis.[5]
