EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

JUN 2001 Present

Sprint PCS, Houston TX

Full-time employment, RF-CDMA engineering Department (Full-time)

JAN 2001 May 2001

NORTEL Networks, Richardson TX

Co-Op employment, RF-CDMA engineering Department (Full-time)

The Co-op employment was offered after an extremely competitive selection process during the Co-op Interview Event organized by Nortel Networks Student Talent Acquisition department. Beside this full time employment I was a graduate student at UTA. I was working as a RF Engineer for CDMA wireless telecommunication systems doing technical support, testing and analyzing data for optimization using Nortel s RF Optimizer for Sprint PCS Houston Market.

JAN 2000 JAN 2001

University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), Department of Electrical Engineering

Graduate Research Assistant - GRA (Part-time)

The GRA was granted as a scholarship to accommodate my graduate study in UTA. It was under an extremely competitive selection process. The duty of the offer is to work 20 hours per week as research assistant beside the full-time graduate study. I was working on the Advance Technology Project (ATP). Meanwhile, I was also working on the Advance Research Project (ARP).

On the ATP project I was working on the analyses and algorithm development for automatic software translation of 2D technical drawings to 3D feature based CAD solid models. My algorithms for automatic finding and grouping of specific features of the model based on specific characteristics are implemented in the proprietary software. This proprietary software is the only available on the market for 2D to 3D automatic translations. Information of this software could be obtained on the web, http://www.imagecomcorp.com/& http://www.aspire3d.com/

My second task on the APT project was to analyze Collaborative Virtual Prototyping (CVP) available on the market and to find a method for inserting proprietary software in these CVP applications. I was doing research on CVP systems, midlleware technologies, CORBA, COM, DCOM architecture.

On the ARP project I was working on analyzing voxel-rendering methods for virtual surgery application development.

University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), Department of Electrical Engineering

Exchange Visiting Research Assistant

Research program in Digital Coding (Field Code 3100) granted from University of Texas at Arlington, Digital Image Processing lab. I was working on Digital Image Compression using transform coding. I have implemented some of these methods using MATLAB.

NOV 1997 DEC 1999

"POLITEHNICA" University of Timisoara, Department of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering

Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) and lab instructor (Part-time)

The GRA was granted as a scholarship to accommodate my graduate study at "POLITEHNICA". It was a Romanian state sponsored scholarship. The first duty of the offer was to work 20 hours per week as research assistant in the Multimedia Lab beside the full-time graduate study. I was working on Digital Image Processing (DIP) and Image Compression related research tasks. As a result of this work I have published three research papers at international conferences. The second duty was to work as lab instructor for the "Television" undergraduate course. This work helped me to learn in details Broadcasting Television concept as well as to improve my public presentation skills.

NOV 1997 present

"POLITEHNICA" University of Timisoara, Romania and "UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE", Belgrade, Yugoslavia

Ph.D. program in Image Compression GPA: 10.0 (on 1 - 10 scale)

"POLITEHNICA" and "University of Belgrade" are two of the best engineering universities in Eastern Europe. Information of the program could be obtained on the web, http://www.utt.ro/ & http://www.bg.ac.yu/.My Ph.D. program is a result of the special international contract of cooperation between these two Universities. One professor from each University supervises my research work. My supervisors are Dr. C.I.Toma ("Politehnica") and Dr. Z. S. Bojkovic ("University of Belgrade"). I have completed all me course work for this program. Due to my outstanding performance, I was awarded with research assistantship at University of Texas at Arlington so I have continued my education at UTA. Meanwhile I am working on the thesis for the degree.
