John Parker
John Parker was a founding director of Transfinite Systems in 1994. John has a First Class degree in Astrophysics and a Doctorate in Theoretical Physics. John's Astrophysics degree included specialisations in Radio Astronomy and electromagnetic field theory. His PhD concentrated on aspects of theoretical particle physics. After graduating he spent 18 months in post doctoral research and 6 months in simulation modelling of nuclear fast reactor cores, before beginning to work in a satellite communications in 1990.
Between 1990 and 1994, John worked on several projects including DRS, Skynet IV and Inmarsat-P. He also spent a 20 months period working for Eutelsat in Paris. This work mainly concentrated on mathematical modelling and future systems analysis. At Eutelsat the work was carried out within the Spectrum Management Group. Since forming Transfinite with John Pahl, John's work has focussed Interference Modelling and Analysis, including the development of Visualyse.
John has also developed and delivered training courses for the software and worked on many different problems via our technical support help-lines. John has represented ICO and UK positions within the ITU in Study Group 4, Working Party 9D, JRG8/9, and also at the TIA in Washington. John's technical and analytic ability is complemented by his experience in the international arena and ability to present your case clearly and authoritatively.
