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.
2002-2004 Photo Assistant, Tesco Plc, Colchester
Developed pictures and assisted in customer services
2000-2002 Network Technician, PDCL, London
This job required troubleshooting of networking hardware and general IT support. Main duties include assembling and cabling Cisco Internetworking equipments, installation and configuration of Windows Workstation and Server.
