Students at CSC2011
The following people have attended the 2010 CERN School of
Computing.
|
Daniela REMENSKA |
NIKHEF, Amsterdam - Netherlands |
|
|
I received a PDEng degree in software technology from Stan Ackermans' School
of Technological Design at TU/e in Eindhoven. I carried out my final
software design project on the topic of Optimization of Large Scale HEP Data
Analysis at NIKHEF, which has to do with efficient access to WLCG data from
a local Tier-2 cluster. I'm currently involved in improving the overall data
management on the Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid, as an LHCb liaison
at the Physics Data Processing department of NIKHEF. My daily activities
also include maintenance of a stager subsystem of the DIRAC community Grid
solution used by the LHCb experiment.
My current research interests as a PhD student at the Free University of
Amsterdam revolve around formal methods for specifying and analyzing the
behavior of distributed systems.
I feel comfortable working with C++, Python, Java, both under Linux and
Windows.

Bartolomeu Andre RODRIGUES
FERNANDES RABACAL |
CERN, Geneva - Switzerland |
|
|
I am the responsible for the Data Quality
Monitoring software as a fellow currently working at the PH-AID-DA group. I
develop the ALICE DQM software package AMORE (Automatic MOnitoRing
Environment) that gathers the online data collected by the several detectors
of the ALICE Experiment which is then analysed by user defined algorithms
provided by the detector teams and finally stores this monitoring
information and allows its visualization. I also provide the needed user
support to the teams of these detectors. I am familiar with Windows and
Linux operating systems and familiar with C, C++, R, Mathematica and Matlab
programming languages.

Will ROGERS |
STFC, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot – United Kingdom |
|
|
I did an MSci in physics at Cambridge before taking a year to travel. I
then started work at STFC near Oxford in the e-Science department. I am
currently working on two projects. One is APEL, the grid accounting system
used by EGEE and EGI. I am working on developing a new version of the system
in Python. The second involves collecting data from scientific experiments
including ISIS, a particle accelerator. My project is to collect data from
different sources including Microsoft Sharepoint and Oracle databases, and
prepare the storage database for the experimental data. I have got two
years' experience programming in Java and Python on Linux and I am currently
gaining experience programming C# in a Windows environment. I also like
playing many different sports and doing puzzles.

Mehmet Ozgur SAHIN |
Middle East Technical University, Ankara - Turkey |
|
|
I am a Physics MSc Student at Middle East
Technical University, currently working on analysis of Forward Backward
Asymmetry in CMS experiment. I was a CERN summer student last year and I
worked on Gamma background events in LCD- CLIC Design Group. I have great
enthusiasm for programming and learning computational techniques. I have
four years of experience on C++, C, Python and now I am also learning VHDL
for programming FPGAs. Lastly, I love swimming and I
am open to any swimming competition during the school!

Sandra SAORNIL GAMARRA |
Universität Zürich - Switzerland |
|
|
I am an Electronics Engineer surrounded by
Physicists. I started working at LHCb a year ago, as the control expert for
IT and TT sub-detectors. Sure, my background and my job do not involve a lot
of computing, but working at CERN I really felt the need to learn more about
it so I can contribute a bit more.

Elvin Alin SINDRILARU |
CERN, Geneva - Switzerland |
|
|
I am a fellow within the IT
Department at CERN, in the Data and Storage Services Group. I am also
closely working with the ROOT team for enhancing the functionality of the
ROOT Framework used for high-physics data analysis. My interests lie in
fields of data management and fault tolerance at workflow, file or
file-system level. The main project that I am working on is called EOS and
integrates various new concepts related to virtualization and
state-of-the-art file transfer protocols like xroot. I graduated my master
degree in Advance Computing from Imperial College London and I take
particular interest in complex systems and mathematical modelling. The main
programming language that I am currently using is C/C++, but I also have
experience with Java and scripting languages such as Python and bash. I am
comfortable using most common operating systems (Linux distributions,
Windows and MacOS) and I am familiar with PHP, JavaScript and PL/SQL.

Vijay Kartik SUBBIAH |
CERN, Geneva - Switzerland |
|
|
I am a fellow with the Online group in the LHCb
experiment at CERN. I am currently working on designing and developing
benchmarking tools for measurements on the 1500-node High Level Trigger
(HLT) farm. I am also involved in the support and administration of the
computing backbone for LHCb. Over the next months, my focus will be on
evaluating different distributed file-systems, and provide comparisons and
test results to enable a decision to modify the storage framework at LHCb. I
am comfortable with C/C++ and Python, and prefer working in a Linux
environment. I graduated in Electrical Engineering and lean towards working
on topics in signal processing and stochastic analysis.

Pavlo SVIRIN |
National Technical University of Ukraine, Kyviv -
Ukraine |
|
|
Graduated from National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnical
Institute”, faculty of Electronics, CAD department.
Currently I work on my Ph.D.
thesis. I study load balancing algorithms for Nordugrid ARC middleware and
develop the one that will operate in Ukrainian GRID environment. I've got
experience in programming using languages like C/C++, Java, PHP, PERL, SQL,
Python and operational systems like MS Windows, FreeBSD, Linux and Mac OS.

Nicola TAROCCO |
CERN, Geneva - Switzerland |

I am currently studying to finish the master
degree in Computer Science at the University of Udine, Italy. I'm working as
Technical Student in IT-UDS-AVC section as project leader of the open source
software Micala, a tool to record, process and publish web lectures. The
growing amount of talks and meetings per day at CERN needs automatic,
reliable and powerful software to process them. The software is written
mainly in Python, with MySQL and Flash Action Script and is designed to be
os and architecture indipendent. It is also intergrated with Indico, CDS
Invenio and MediaArchive. I also have programming experience in Java, C#,
PHP and web technologies.

Before graduating at the end of 2010 as MsC
Telecommunication Engineering ( accredited by ABET ) by ETSIT-UPM ( Madrid )
and MsC Software Engineering of Distributed Systems by IT-KTH ( Stockholm )
I have been working on my final thesis as a Technical Student in IT, more
specifically at ES-VO section ( Experiment Support - VO Operations &
Services ). I was focused on the extension of HammerCloud, a stress-testing
system to commission grid sites for distributed activities, for CMS and LHCb
VOs. Nowadays, I am working as a Junior Fellow on PH/LBC since February
2011. I am currently a developer of DIRAC and LHCbDIRAC, being DIRAC
(Distributed Infrastructure with Remote Agent Control ) project a complete
Grid solution for a community of users needing access to dsitributed
resources, in this case, LHCb is the community.

I started working at CERN in April 2007 as Java
developer for CERN EDH system, then starting from 2008 till end of 2010 I
worked in IT-DB group, my main area of responsibility was middleware
infrastructure for CERN administrative applications, which include running
and development for Java Middleware like Apache Tomcat, Oracle iAS and
Weblogic Application Servers, as well as for Apache HTTP servers, all
deployed to Linux OS. For development and administration we used mostly
Perl, Python, Java and Unix Shell. Starting from end of 2010 I work in CERN
IT-CF group. I work on CDB, system which manages configurations of hardware
installed in CERN Computer Centre, it uses Oracle RDBMS for storing data and
Perl and Python for its business logic. I also work on Cluman, an
application for managing and visualizing large scale clusters, which also
uses Python, Java and Oracle RDBMS.

Currently, I am doing my PhD in particle physics.
I am involved into the development of fast and highly parallelized
algorithms for the CBM experiment at FAIR: fast track finding, fast track
fitting, short-lived particles reconstruction and selection. Also I
participated in the development of the fast track reconstruction in the TPC
detector of the STAR experiment at RHIC based on the Cellular Automaton
method, in the development of the KFParticle package for the ALICE
experiment. In my programs I use vectorization (based on SIMD instructions
set) and parallelization between cores of CPU.
