If Wikipedia says no then I defer to it.

Here's his offical bio in brief:

Karl Kruszelnicki used to be a "proper pukka scientist, engineer and doctor", but is currently an author and science commentator on radio and television. He is the, Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney, in the Science Foundation of the Physics Department.

Away from the media, he has worked as a physicist; labourer; roadie for bands (including Bo Diddley); car mechanic; filmmaker; hospital scientific officer; biomedical engineer (when he designed and built a machine to pick up electrical signals from the human retina); TV weatherman and medical doctor at The Kids Hospital in Sydney.

In addition to his degrees in Physics and Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, and Medicine and Surgery, he has studied several non-degree years at various universities in Astrophysics, Computer Science and Philosophy. He speaks at primary, secondary and tertiary institutions, and is an after-dinner speaker, and corporate video writer and presenter.

So now we know.
