Resume of Career

Stelios Ioannou received a Higher National Diploma (HND) in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Higher Technical Institute, Nicosia, Cyprus, a BSEE, and MSEE with a Minor in Engineering Management from University of South Florida (USF). As a PhD student for the Clean Energy Research Center (CERC) at USF, he is involved in improving endurance on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) vehicles. Specializations include power and energy demand of UGVs, prediction of available onboard energy, battery characterization and state of art energy storage devices including lithium, fuel cell and super-capacitor technologies. Other research interests include failure analysis of electronic components via a High Current Impulse Generator.
