Rate My Professor Carlo Kopp

Kopp's primary research interests encompass modelling deceptions in social and biological systems, perceptual and decision modelling using information theory, cognitive cycle modelling, ad hoc networks with propagation challenges, and distributed computing. Earlier work covered operating systems, radio-frequency propagation, radar signature modelling, optical communications, and satellite navigation protocols, including adaptation of AESA radars for digital communications and tropospheric propagation for airborne platforms. Key publications include 'Ignorance of the crowd: dysfunctional thinking in social networks' (2025), 'Optimizing Renewable Energy Utilization in Cloud Data Centers through Dynamic Overbooking: An MDP-based Approach' (2024), 'Defining Measures of Effect for Disinformation Attacks' (2024), and 'Are Problem-Solving Assessments More Effective for Evaluating Learning in Computing Engineering Education?' (2025). He developed and taught Australia's first university-level honours course on Information Warfare in 2006 and serves as chief examiner and lecturer for units such as FIT2020 Network Architecture, FIT2069 Computer Architecture, FIT2100 Operating Systems, FIT3142 Distributed Computing, and FIT3143 Parallel Computing. Awards include the Innovation in Teaching Award (2025), Outstanding Teaching Award for the Faculty of Information Technology (2015), Best Paper Award at the 3rd Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference (2002), Australian Industry Certificate Award (2010), Fellow of the Lean Systems Society, Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Senior Member of the IEEE.
