MitchelLake ^[1] is sponsoring a great new video series titled “down under / ON TOP”, featuring interviews that shine the spotlight on “Australians making their mark on the world”.

This instalment focuses on Dr John Papandriopoulos, who in 2007 as a 30-year-old University of Melbourne research fellow revolutionised broadband by developing an algorithm that speeds up ADSL connections by up to 100 times.

Now based in San Francisco, Papandriopoulos shares his views on becoming an overnight global sensation, Australia, being an Aussie in America, and Advance, the global network for expat Australians.
