Prof. Stoje Dimov Ilev is Chair of Space Science Centre (SSC) for Research and Postgraduate Studies in Space CNS for Maritime, Land and Aeronautical Applications, Global Satellite Augmentation Systems (GSAS), GNSS Systems, Satellite Tracking Systems, Mobile Broadcasting and Meteorological Observation Systems at Durban University of Technology (DUT), Durban, South Africa. He studies both Maritime radio engineering and Nautical science at Montenegro University in Kotor, Maritime electronics and communications at Rijeka University in Croatia, Postgraduate satellite engineering at Skopie University in Macedonia and Belgrade University in Serbia. Ilev holds Bachelor (BSc), Master in Electrical Engineering (MSc) and Doctor of Science (PhD) degrees. He also holds the certificates for Radio operator 1st class (Morse), for GMDSS 1st class Radio Electronic Operator and Maintainer and for Master Mariner without limitations. Since 1969, Ilev worked onboard merchant ships, in Sate

llite Earth Station, at Coast Radio Station, shipping company, Nautical School and at Maritime Faculty. Since 2000, he worked at IS Marine Radio and CNS Systems companies on research and projects relating to modern Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) for maritime, land and aeronautical applications. He has written five books on CNS engineering and satellite systems for mobile applications and he has many projects and inventions in this field including DVB-RCS standards and Stratospheric Platforms.
