At Hirst, he was a research engineer until 1986, working in CCD, SOS, CMOS, and vacuum microelectronic technologies. He also worked on solid-state imagine sensors in the optical and infrared regimes. He migrated to Australia in 1986, and worked at Austek Microsystems as an analog VLSI design engineer until 1987. In the 1987-1991 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Adelaide, and also consulted for a number of companies including Austek Microsystems and British Aerospace. In 1992, he took up a postition as a Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, with tutoring resposibibilites.
