Robert ZIMMERMANN |
Universität Bonn - Germany |
|
 |
As a PhD student at
the University of Bonn I am currently working on setting up and
commissioning an ATLAS Tier-3 computing cluster in the context of the LHC
Computing Grid (LCG). This includes work on all required parts of such a
cluster, like network infrastructure (DHCP, dDNS), base-system (SL) and
middleware (gLite) installation and configuration, monitoring and the
automation of all of this (Quattor). I am also one of the administrators of
the local desktop (Debian) and batch (SGE) clusters for our high energy
physics groups. I am familiar with various flavors of Linux like Scientific
Linux, Fedora, Debian or Ubuntu, have, of course, run across MS Windows and
personally enjoy using Mac OSX. Programming and scripting languages I've
worked with (out of necessity or just for fun) include C, C++, Objective C,
ruby, perl and bash.

Constantin Mihai CUCIUC |
National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Bucharest -
Romania |
|
 |
I am in the 5th year
of study at Informatics Physics, and I am currently involved in some
detector calibration and readout system development and configuration. Also,
I had to implement minor changes in some Athena analysis code and tweak the
firmware for some home-brew hardware. In doing so, I came across C/C++, ROOT
and LabVIEW, to which a few others learned in school or by myself can be
added.

Matti KORTELAINEN |
Helsinki Institute of Physics - Finland |
|
 |
I am a first year
PhD student in experimental particle physics. My work at Helsinki Institute
of Physics includes Higgs analysis in the CMS experiment and code
development for test beam detector studies (Helsinki Silicon Beam Telescope,
SiBT). I have wide experience and knowledge from computing and programming.
I use actively Linux and Mac OS X, and I've also used commercial Unices,
NetBSD and Windows. My programming skills include C, C++, Java, Matlab,
Perl, Python and shell scripts. I am also familiar with assembly, Scheme and
SQL. I have worked in cluster and supercomputer environments, and I have
also used grids (mainly Nordugrid ARC).

Oliver OBERST |
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - Germany |
|
 |
I started to work as
a PhD student at Karlsruhe in August 2007. The thesis will consist of two
parts, a computational one and a physics analysis. At the moment a computing
cluster at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is shared among eight
different departments and will also be part of the WLCG as the UNI-KARSLRUHE
Tier 3 site. To run Grid jobs on such a shared cluster the incompatibilities
between the requirements in hard and software of the different user groups
are resolved in using virtualization techniques to partition the computing
cluster dynamically. My current task is to implement this functionality into
the batch system, that it can manage the virtual machines (virtual worker
nodes) to connect the cluster and its mass storage system to the WLCG.

David GONZALEZ MALINE |
CERN, Geneva - Switzerland |
|
 |
I studied software
engineer in Spain and the UK, finishing last year a MSc in artificial
intelligence. Nowadays I work at CERN in the SFT group, helping in the
development of the ROOT framework. In particular, my work is focused in the
development of mathematical algorithms, paying special attention to the
efficiency and accuracy of the different implementations. I also work with
methods of multivariate analysis and help in the development of some parts
of TMVA.

Paolo TEDESCO |
CERN, Geneva - Switzerland |
|
 |
I am currently
working at CERN, at the development of File Transfer Service, a data
management grid middleware component. FTS is used by experiment frameworks
to move data across sites, offering load balancing and monitoring
capabilities. I have programming experience on Windows and Linux
environments, mainly in C++ and c#.
