• Ability to prioritise and to multi-task complex workloads
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
2006-2011 PhD Researcher, Surrey Space Centre, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
This project aimed to design a low-cost re-usable solution for inter-satellite link. The research work addressed the application of wireless terrestrial network standards to Distributed satellite systems in Low Earth Orbit.
The achievements include:
• The development and design of an FPGA-based System-on-Chip (SoC) for inter-satellite communications systems, utilising low power techniques for High-speed communication
• The implementation of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) on FPGAs
• The implementation of a wireless transceiver in C++
• Firmware development for embedded systems in C/C++.
During my PhD studies I worked as a lab demonstrator of the following modules:
• Digital Design with VHDL
• Linear Systems and Feedback Design in PSPICE
• Second Year Audio and Media Engineering Experiments (various labs)
• Digital Design in Cadence.
