In 2003 he left Corvis and resigned from his position at RMIT and worked for Photonic Systems Inc. as a principal engineer. In 2004 he cofounded Pharad, a broadband wireless communications company, where he is now a Vice President. His 2003 book on printed antenna design follow more than 200 publications and ten patent applications in the field of antennas, electromagnetic, microwave, and photonics engineering. Dr. Waterhouse is an associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He chaired the IEEE Victorian MTTs/APS Chapter from 1998 to 2001. Dr Waterhouse is an adjunct Senior Fellow within the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne. In 2000 he received an IEEE Third Millennium Medal for Outstanding Achievements and Contributions.
