Brno, Czech Republic

Development work on three projects in cooperation with industry: 1. Industrial sensor network node with universal data interface. 2. Network switch and ethernet gate for industrial communication protocol (MODBUS). 3. Development and implementation of algorithms for processing of signals from a radiation detector.Projects 1 and 2 involved embedded system design (hardware and firmware development) and the third project was mainly DSP algorithm and its implementation in FPGA.
