I am currently working on applying virtualization in the GRID. I started working on virtualization as a Technical student in 2005, when I worked on porting the Xen virtualization platform to the Itanium computer architecture. Also, together with LCG, I tested the use of virtualization in the LCG testbed. Now I am continuing this work in developing methods for more flexibly manage execution environments in GRIDs by using virtual machines instead of native execution environments.  OS experience: Linux (SLC, RedHat, Debian, Gentoo), MS Windows.  Programming lang: C, Python, Java, PHP

I am a PhD student of Institute for Particle Physics, ETH Zurich. My major work is to support and develop the computing and software environment for CMS experiment in our institute.  In last several months, I deployed the CMS software on our small Tier-3 testbed. Now I am working to upgrade our PC Cluster to a new LCG Tier-3 testbed.  Programming Languages: FORTRAN, C++, Java, HTML, Python, Basic ; Operating Systems: MS Windows, Linux.

I work in ATLAS Trigger & Data Acquisition subsystem. I am working in code development: in a "tools" and "offline testing" package. The objective of this package is to run and debug parallel software, such as ATLAS-TDAQ in large clusters. And I also work for the TDAQ Sysadmin group, in firewall security, proxies, windows services, and development of custom tools to integrate with IT databases and services. I am familiar with all flavours of Linux, sun-os, free-bsd, Macintosh and windows.  I am also  familiar with c, c++, java, Perl, python, bash, csh and lisp (and also SQL).

Currently I am writing a Ph.D. thesis on the search for the heavy, neutral, supersymmetric Higgs bosons in the CMS detector at the LHC. I am also contributing to the CMS object oriented simulation and reconstruction software. During my work I extensively use the GRID for analysing the Monte Carlo data stored in different locations like FNAL, USA or PIC, Spain. I am familiar with Linux and Windows operating systems. I have good knowledge of the C++ programming language, and basic of the Fortran language.  I have some experience with the shell programming.

I am currently commissioning the Finnish Cosmic Rack (FinnCRack), a position sensitive device detecting cosmic particle tracks using standard CMS TOB hardware and software. Most significant source of workload is currently caused by online software, but this will probably shift towards analysis in the future. I have good knowledge about Linux. I have also used most of ENEA's real time OS's in daily work, and some lower level embedded OS's. I have good understanding of C and several assembler dialects. I can also program C++, Bash and Postscript and have basic skills in Java, Lisp, VHDL, TTCN and others.

Currently, as part of my PhD studies at CERN, I'm working on a fair-share scheduling system for the Grid-based ATLAS production system.  In parallel, I maintain and develop a Java-based GUI to support distributed analysis activities for the ATLAS experiment. I am familiar with the programming languages Python, Java, C/C++, C#, Assembler and Pascal, and have been using standard SQL for communication with Oracle, MySQL and Postgres databases. At work I'm using Scientific Linux as my OS, and I'm acquainted with shell programming. At home and during my studies I use Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP.
