Education

I did my Master’s degree in Electronique, Electrotecnique et Automatique at the Universite Sciences et Techniques du Languedoc (also known as Universite de Montpellier II) in France, majoring in electronics.  My final year project was on the High Definition Television (HDTV) which was the interest of that time.  When I was doing my diploma a few years before, I did my industrial attachment for six months at Thomson Broadcast in Cergy, France and I was working on a high definition scanner than could scan a painting underneath another painting on the same canvas.  My stay at Thomson Broadcast then triggered my interest to look into HDTV in more details.

My Bachelor’s degree was also in the same field and at the same university.  Montpellier when I was there was a very lively student City and I was lucky to meet and get to know many friends from all over the world.

My diploma was in Electrical and Industrial Informatics (Genie Electrique et Informatique Industrielle).  In my second year, I majored in Automation.  In French, it is called Automatique.  I did my diploma studies at Institut Universitaire de Technologie (IUT) de Poitiers.
