Nireekshan joined our EPIT team
four months ago. He is currently
undertaking a Master of Intellectual
Property course at the University of
Technology Sydney, while working
for POF. He also has a Master of
Engineering degree, majoring in very
large-scale integrated circuits and
ASICs, and has immense industry
experience in building ASICs and
FPGAs for biomedical applications.

Nic recently moved to Australia
from New Zealand and has
joined our Engineering team.

He has a Bachelor’s degree in
mechanical engineering, and has
a particular interest in aeronautics
and mechanical systems design.

Prior to joining POF, Nic worked
as a Design Engineer, designing
repair schemes and modifications
for large aircraft. Nic also previously
worked as a Patent Examiner in
New Zealand, which sparked
his interest in the IP industry.

We are thrilled to welcome Jessica,
Nireekshan and Nic to POF.
