Occupation or position held: Electrical Engineer
Name and address of employer: Ethio Telecom , Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)
Type of business or sector: Governmental telecom sector
Main activities and responsibilities: During this period of time I have been an active member of a team that was involved in implementing the IP-Next Generation Network for the first time in Ethiopia. This project works to offer a complete range of Telecom services, covering mobile ,fixed line CDMA . . . etc telephony including broadband, national and international long distance services, data voice services and a wide range of value added services and applications that will enhance productivity of enterprises. The project helped me get different basic theoretical and practical knowledge from a multidisciplinary environments. I was leading small group as site Engineer during the implementation of fiber network and configurations of huge routers. After the NGN network was finished I was working as network administrator to control the different systems in the network and also I worked in the .
Practical (Lab) Experiences: During my undergraduate study I did many practical works in the course of control, Instrumentation and Electrical labs that can control many electrical devices, and also during my undergraduate study I implemented, for final year project, controlling circuits which can control electronic devices using voice command. When I was the member of that team which implement the IP-Next Generation Network, I have got a very good knowledge in configuring routers and firewalls, troubleshooting, simulating, administering the mobile billing system, controlling both mobile & CDMA networks and others of very big national network linked to an international one. I have done many experiments in computer vision and machine learning e.g for image understanding, Medical image analysis, in Artificial Intelligence, in my thesis which uses many ideas from graph theory like Motzkin-Straus theorem and its Generalization (Dominant set). I have been participating actively in prof. Pelillo’s weekly Lab meetings where people from other universities usually invited to share their knowledge.
