In 1990, he joined Siemens Ltd. and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, as a Project Leader responsible for video compression research activities in the Australian Universal Broadband Video Codec consortium. Between 1994 and 2001, he was the Director of the Interactive Media Department, Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) Berlin GmbH, Germany. Dr. Sikora is co-founder of 2SK Media Technologies and Vis-a-Pix GmbH, two Berlin-based start-up companies involved in research and development of audio and video signal processing and compression technology.

Dr. Sikora has been involved in international ITU and ISO standardization activities as well as in several European research activities for a number of years. As the Chairman of the ISO-MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) video group, he was responsible for the development and standardization of the MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 video algorithms. He also served as the chairman of the European COST 211ter video compression research group. He was appointed as Research Chair for the VISNET and 3DTV European Networks of Excellence. He is an Appointed Member of the Advisory and Supervisory board of a number of German companies and international research organizations. He frequently works as an industry consultant on issues related to interactive digital audio and video.
