Since
January 2003 I am based at CERN and involved in the Silicon Pixel
Detector collaboration for the ALICE experiment at LHC. The detector
has a modular stave structure. Each stave is built of four ladders
and two Pilot Multi Chip Modules (MCM) for their control and read
out. The full detector contains about 10^7 pixels and very compact
dimension. The communication between the in-detector electronics
and the counting room is carried out on optical fibers trough
a high speed device. The off detector electronics is composed
of receivers cards and Routers for the interaction with the DAQ
of the experiment.
My work in this project can be summarized in different areas:
- Software and hardware development for the test system
generating complete automatic routines capable of automatically
finding and determining the performance of the different components
of the system.
- Analysis and qualification of optical communication
(800 MHz serial stream) between control room and detector. Specific
hardware has been developed for this purpose.
- Development of the DAQ software oriented to the testbeam
2003 and now 2004. Analyzing also the operative status of the
entire readout chain.
- Testing of the capability to use the detector like trigger
system for the experiment.
- Data analysis of the testbeam data, orientated to cluster
distribution and going on tracking.

The main aim of my research activity in the OPERA collaboration is to set-up a system for precision measurements of charged particles parameters in emulsion. OPERA is an experiment for the direct observation of neutrino-tau appearance from netrino-mu -> neutrino-tau oscillations in the CNGS long baseline beam from the CERN SPS to the Gran Sasso Laboratory. It exploits nuclear emulsions as very high resolution tracking devices for the direct detection of the decay of the tau produced in the CC interaction of the neutrino-tau with the target. A high angular resolution for emulsion tracks allows the increase of the sensitivity of the experiment. My research activity is focused to the study of emulsion tracks by analyzing digital images acquired by automatic precise microscopes. I am writing an object-oriented software (by using the C++ language) for multiple track acquisitions and analysis (filtering and clustering) in order to calculate with a high spatial resolution the position of the emulsion grains associated to the track. This allows the estimation of the angular projections of the track with the angular resolution required for OPERA. |

Evaluate
Oracle database built-in synchronous replication as a solution
to establish "guaranteed" data. Test solutions with
production Oracle version and write a report that highlights the
pros and cons of this solution. Create an automatic deployment
system so that an application can be deployed replicated with
minimal steps involved.
Evaluate Oracle database Streams solutions as a solution to
have smooth database / operating system / platform upgrade as
a complement to a high availability solution. The first part
is to establish two-ways streams replication with the same database
/ operating system / platform, and to find the performance penalty
implied by such a solution. Evaluate what happens in case of
failure of one of the parts of the system and investigate the
usage when changing database version, operating system and /or
platform. The work is part of a report and presented to the
IT-DB group. It includes the evaluation of Oracle 10g database
and its usage on several platforms (Intel x86/Linux, Intel ia64/Linux).
Prototype and prepare a backup validation solution in the context
of the IT-DB strategy working group.
Experience with Operating Systems: Linux/UNIX and Windows.

My
current work is connected with problems arising from electron
transport processes. Our group considers the problem when metal
targets are bombarded from an electron beam and the electrical
current, obtained from electrons which conserve their energy after
colliding with the target, is measured. The fact that the problem
is expressed with a multidimensional Boltzman equation makes the
direct methods unfeasible. The known analytical or semi-analytical
solutions of the problem do not offer adequate accuracy, and that
is why Monte Carlo simulations are usually done by the people,
who make experiments. It should be noted that the known Monte
Carlo methods for solving this problem are very CPU-intensive,
and require many hours of computations. We work on two approaches
to improve the known procedures for attacking the problem - variance
reduction techniques, including quasi-Monte Carlo computations,
and parallel implementation of the algorithms in order to speed-up
the execution. I work with the programming languages C and FORTRAN
and I am familiar with MATLAB, LATEX.
For parallel computations I usually apply MPI. The operating
systems with which I am familiar are Linux, UNIX, Windows.
I am involved in projects granted by the Ministry of Education
and Science of Bulgaria. |

I'm
currently working on my Ph.D. thesis. I'm working on effective
bandwidth as a modeling tool for computer networks - for service
pricing, traffic control and connection admission - and possible
extensions of this idea to areas such as grid resources scheduling
and pricing. This work not only requires good knowledge of grid
technology, but also requires large scale simulation. Grid technology
would be a good tool for that, especially if we could share computing
power with my colleagues (Condor?).
I use Linux exclusively, but I'm also familiar with MS Windows
and Sun Solaris. My main programming languages are C and Matlab,
I'm also familiar with C++, Java and Pascal. I also used Fortran
and Perl, but haven't written code in any of them for years. |

I
am currently working for the TRD group of the ALICE experiment
at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. While half of my time I am working
on chamber construction and testing, the other half is devoted
to Monte Carlo simulations within the framework of the AliRoot
code. AliRoot is the ALICE software package, an object oriented
framework for event simulations and event reconstruction. In the
moment I am comparing position resolution measurements done with
prototypes of the ALICE TRD to simulations done with AliRoot.
A NIM paper on these results is currently evolving. Many microscopic
detector physics effects had to be understood and then implemented
into AliRoot in order to understand properly the measured results.
My special interests are (as just described) detector response
simulations, but also tracking and reconstruction. I would like
to deepen (and my current work also asks for that) my knowledge
of modern techniques for software design, tools and technologies.
Especially since it is quite hard to understand (and improve)
a large software project like AliRoot.
My programming skills are mainly C/C++ on Linux machines but
I would like to gain experience also on other platforms and
in other languages. I do of course also have a solid knowledge
of Windows OS. |

I am
working in the AB-BDI-SW section. This section provides all the
software necessary to develop, test, diagnose and maintain the
different instruments produced by the group.
Currently I am involved in the design, development and implementation
of two tools.
The primary goal of the ROSALI project is to provide CERN physicists
with a Machine Development tool application for developing and
testing software algorithms in an easy and rapid way. The users
will implement the algorithms building a sequence of instructions
selected from a graphical interface. Those instructions could
load data from several BDI instruments and merge them to obtain
diagrams or perform new calculations. The application will be
implemented using Java technology.
The second project I am involved in is a web-based application
to plan, schedule and coordinate the section activity. This
tool will record the meeting minutes, the bugs and issues for
enhancement reported by the users in the software developed
by the section and it will also generate dynamically the activity
planning from the information obtained from the issues and the
meeting minutes. This tool will be built using web technologies
and Oracle databases.

- Description of current work:
The name of the project that I'm developing is "AliEn
Grid Portal". The AliEn Grid Portal is a grid computing
environment, with an interface Web for a production system that
simulates, reconstruct and analyze HEP data in a distributed
way, called AliEn. In this portal, the user can access to the
distributed system in a transparent way, which can submit jobs,
check the status of that jobs, and get additional statistical
information of monitorization. The developing of the middleware
of this portal made use of key grid technology. The security
and authentication of the portal is based on the Globus Grid
Security infrastructure and on an online credentials repository
system, called MyProxy. The different OGSI compliant Grid Services
developed runs on a Container provided by the package module
OGSI::Lite. The middleware is being extended to provide grid
services based on the new grid services model - WRSF.

Current
work is focused on an extension to the ARION project - An e-Science
middleware system designed and implemented to support search and
retrieval of scientific information and the on demand execution
of scientific computational workflows using a mobile agent platform.
The current aim is to replace the agent platform with Globus and
provide the ARION system with better security, management and
performance capabilities and possibly integrate with the Web Services
initiative through the OGSA specification.
I have worked with Unix, Linux, Win9x, Win2000 and WinXP operating
systems. I have some experience in Lisp and Prolog, I have good
experience in Pascal and Fortran, and very good experience in
C, C++ and Java.
