"STUDENT'S SUCCESS

A University of Newcastle student is one of just two in Australia to be awarded post-graduate scholarships by the Australian Computer Research Board, of Canberra.  He is Mr. Lindsay Kleeman who recently completed his honours year in Electrical Engineering.  He is enrolled in a combined electrical engineering and mathematics degree.  Rather than using the scholarship overseas, Mr. Kleeman has decided to stay at the University of Newcastle and enrol for a Ph.D. degree.  He says he has a keen interest in multicomputer fault-tolerant systems and proposes to carry out research in this field under the supervision of Assoc. Professor Tony Cantoni.  The Australian Computer Research Board scholarship will provide Mr. Kleeman with $10,000 per year for the next three years, plus fees and travelling expenses.  Professor Cantoni, Acting Head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, says the ACRB scholarship is a most prestigious award,  for which there is very strong competition from universities in Australia.  Son of Mr. Peter Kleeman, Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering and Surveying,  Mr. Kleeman is a former student of the old Newcastle Boys‘ High School (now Waratah High Schooll)."
