Highly motivated individual with strong background in sensors, mathematics, electronics, and skilled in embedded C/C++ programming as well as analogue electronics, seeking a challenging position to utilize research skills.

WORK EXPERIENCE:

February 2014 – Present, University of Sussex

Research Fellow: Development of low noise microchip sensors for detecting brain activity as part of DeNeCoR project funded by European ENIAC Joint Undertaking (JU), collaborating with Plessey Semiconductors and Philips Healthcare.

October 2010 – December 2013, University of Sussex

Associate Tutor: Digital Systems, Microprocessors, Computing with MATLAB

Embedded systems project, Mathematic

April 2012, ETOL Ltd.

Electrogustometer

An electronic taste meter is a device that measures the ability of tongue to sense a particular taste and quantifies it by measuring a small current passing through tongue.

An Embedded system was designed to perform the task of applying different current levels to the tongue through an electrode and this would produce measurements based on the feedback acquired from the person under test.

May 2011, Medvice Ltd

Diabetes Boot for Clinical Trail

Design of control system for a boot worn by diabetic patients, a PIC microcontroller was used to record the number of steps and control activities of various external hardware such as sensors, solenoid, and air pump.

Summer 2008, Alderley Plc

Based in Bristol in the marketing department as a Marketing assistant, this experience familiarized me with working condition of UK offices and also I gain a great experience of working in a team. As part of my job I had to organize the material needed for the exhibitions they had in various countries.

EDUCATION:

2010- Jan 2015

PhD in Electronics at the Sensor Technology Research Centre, University of Sussex

My research interest is in Electric Potential Sensors (EPS) and its applications in Biomedical Engineering, specifically developing capacitive sensors for monitoring brain signals. I have also worked on firmware design for integrating wearable sensors with Zigbee wireless networking. I used MATLAB for processing the recorded data to extract information by using FFT, filtering, stacking and down sampling depending on the type of experiments.

2007-2010, Electronic Engineering (BEng Hons, First Class), University of Sussex

Notable Courses: Microprocessor Applications, Embedded System Design Project, Analogue Electronics, Transmission and Propagation, Electronic and Communication Circuit Design, Introduction to Digital Signal Processing, Signals and Systems, Feedback Control, Project Management and Ethics

Final Year Project: Smart Camera. Implementing algorithms for automated analysis of video feed (Background Subtraction, Edge Detection) from CCTV cameras on a TI DSP board.

SKILLS:

Design of user interface for embedded systems using LabView, firmware development in C/C++, and processing of data with MATLAB and Simulink.

Familiar with design and simulation of digital circuits by RTL and VHDL.

Implementation of data transfer link using RS232, USB, Bluetooth and Zigbee network.

Designing analogue circuits and prototyping them using commercial software such as Multisim and other CAM/CAD software, experienced in PCB assembly.

LPKF Training Certificate for completing ProtoMat PCB Milling Machine and CircuitPro software training course.

Firmware Design based on real time scheduler and implementation of device driver for A/D, UART, I2C and LCD.

Realization of music synthesizer using on PWM, D/A, SPI, timer and digital filters.

Design and testing of linear and switch mode power supply with noise analysis.

Experienced in using analysis tools such as spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope and network analyzer.

Full UK Driving License held since 2008.

PERSONAL INTERESTS:

I enjoy playing football, squash and cycling. I am also interested in organizing social events. I was president of Iranian Society in university, involved planning various cultural events.

AWARDS & HONORS:

IET Presentation award (Best presentation for the Local IET presentation Competition)

Graduate Teaching Assistant Scholarship, University of Sussex

Best Engineering Student of the year (IET & the University of Sussex)

Best Electrical and Electronic final year project (Eurotherm PLC)

PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP

Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET)
