April 2004 – September 2006: Full-time Research Fellow, "Broadband Mobile Linear Transmitter Amplifiers for WLAN and 4G Communication Systems," Sponsored by Toshiba-Japan, University of Bristol:
·        
The impact of amplifier non-linearity on WLAN (IEEE 802.11a/n) was investigated for MIMO systems. The impact of clipping on adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and error vector magnitude (EVM) was demonstrated.
·        
The factors limiting the performance of envelope elimination and restoration (EER) transmitters in WLAN applications have been identified and several novel solutions were proposed.
·        A number of international patents were filed.

March 2002 – April 2004: Full-time Research Associate, E.U.’s IST-SCOUT Project, University of Bristol:
·        
Reconfigurable receiver architectures that can provide transparent reconfiguration and spectrum monitoring functions to the RF front-end have been proposed and analysed.
·        
RF related performance parameters have been investigated for the characterisation, conformance testing and standardisation of SDR terminals.
·        
Partners included: Siemens, Motorola, Toshiba, Kings Collage London, Panasonic, DoCoMo-Europe, University of Southampton, France Telecom, CSEM, Telefonica, TTI, and 3G.com.

January 2001 - March 2002: Full-time Research Associate, E.U.’s IST-TRUST Project, University of Bristol:
·       
Invented a new RF mixer linearization technique for SDR and filed a number of international patents.
·        
A real-time adaptive control mechanism has been implemented using DSP techniques.
·        
Contributed to another research topic that aimed to design flexible RF filters by using the MEMS technology.

March 2000: Undergraduate Laboratory Demonstrator, University of Bristol:
·
        Demonstrated “2. Year Wireless Modem Design Exercise” for undergraduate students.
·       
Together with the students, implemented a wireless data communication system that can transfer text between two computers using a wireless link.

January 2000: MSc Laboratory Demonstrator, University of Bristol:
·       
Demonstrated “Advanced Design System (ADS) Laboratory Design Exercise 1 & 2” for MSc students.
·        
Running simple simulations, amplifier design, matching, biasing and creating layouts have been demonstrated to the students as an introduction to ADS.

February 1996 - September 1996: Associate Editor, Eastern Mediterranean University, Cyprus:
·       
Wrote articles and undertook managerial responsibilities for a student magazine.

June 1995 - August 1995: Technical Trainee, BRTK (radio and TV broadcasting organisation), Cyprus:
·       
Worked with transmitters, receivers, antennas and other related instruments. Performed repairs on TV and radio transmitters.
