   Burak Cankurtaran (left) completed Year 12 in 1994 at Grantham High School. He began his software development career shortly after. During this time he enrolled in the Computer Systems Engineering degree at the University of Technology, Sydney as a part-time mature age student in 1998. After spending 4 years (part-time)studying first and second year engineering subjects he decided to transfer to the Applied Physics degree and study full time. In 2005 he completed his honours year on computationally modelling the optical properties of arbitrary shaped nanoparticles. He is currently enrolled as a PhD student at Curtin University of Technology extending the density functional theory to work on large nanoparticles.
