Andres ABAD RODRIGUEZ

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

ABAD RODRIGUEZ Andres 

When I arrived at CERN in 2007, I worked during a year in the control system group of IT in the Gas Control System for the LHC. Since September 2007, I am working for the European project ETICS. It provides a system for the configuration, building, testing and integration of software. We have a web interface and a command line client from where our users, like Glite, can manage their configurations, submit builds and tests and get their results (binaries and reports) in a repository. We have introduced recently the possibility of send multinode tests. Inside the team, I am responsible for some modules of our web application (Java/J2EE and AJAX with GWT), the webservices (AXIS) and the database (MySQL).

András AGÓCS

MTA KFKI-RMKI, Budapest - Hungary

I am currently working on my PhD in particle physics as a member of the Budapest ALICE Group. Besides working on p+p analysis I am also involved in the development of the VHMPID detector to be installed in ALICE. I am using a Linux-based environment with Root and AliRoot to simulate events and analyse LHC data.

 

Muhammad AHMAD

National Centre for Physics, Islamabad - Pakistan

I am working in National Centre for Physics in Islamabad and doing my PhD from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. I have visited CERN in 2008-2009 for commissioning of Endcap-RPC of CMS detector and responsible for High Voltage system of RPCs. Now I am working with Quarkonium group for measurement for Psi (2s) production cross-section at CMS. We are going to use ratio of Psi(2s) to Jpsi cross section as it reduces the dependence of our result on systematics. I have used CMSSW, PAT and ROOT for my analysis. I am familiar with C++ and Python language.

 

Eduardo ALVAREZ FERNANDEZ

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

I have been working at CERN in IT-OIS Group since 2008, managing the CERN Central Search service (http:\\search.cern.ch). The aim of this project is to provide a CERN-wide search engine solution.   Actually we provide search services for Cern Intranet WebPages, Phonebook and for other areas like Indico documents and CDS documents.   Specific Solution was developed and integrated in CERN Twiki System to improve its search relevance for Public pages and also to allow searching in the Protected Pages (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, ...).  Some of the technologies and programming languages I use in my work are Fast ESP, Perl, Python, ASP.NET, Javascript and C#. I also feel comfortable working with C/C++, Java and web technologies.

 

Rahul ARORA

GSI, Darmstadt - Germany

I am presently working as MC-PAD early stage researcher at GSI Darmstadt. I have also applied at the J.W.Goethe University of Frankfurt for my enrolment into the graduate school. I am working in the Detector Laboratory on GEM-TPC project. We are building a prototype TPC (Time Projection Chamber) detector with GEM readout for PANDA experiment at FAIR.I am basically involved in the characterization measurements of the various components. I have tested the GEM foils for leakage current, sparks etc for long term stability. I have also worked on the detector readout consists of an ASIC chip built in our lab called n-XYTER (neutron-X, Y, Time, Energy, and Readout). The preliminary results of the chip are promising. I have tested the chip with a built on silicon strip detector (50 micron) with Am140 source and results are satisfactory in terms of response and noise. Presently, I am working on the gluing of GEMs and fabrication of Field Cage for the TPC.I will now going to start the simulations on the geometry of field cage and other particular problems like Ion feedback suppression from the GEMs etc. I have worked with Linux and windows OS.I have also worked on Geant 4.9.0.

Jakob BLOMER

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

I work on the CernVM R&D project in PH-SFT. CernVM provides a portable environment for development and execution of LHC experiment analysis software. In particular, I develop the CernVM File System, an HTTP file system that brings software trees on demand onto virtual machines. As part of CernVM, I also deal with various aspects of virtualization, including benchmarks of HEP software in virtualized environments. As part of my thesis, I work on distributed algorithms in order to build a self-organizing network of virtual machines out of a plain cluster installation. Currently I mainly develop system software on Linux using C/C++ and a couple of scripting languages. I have working knowledge of LateX and Gnuplot.

 

Nicola CHIAPOLINI

Pushpinder Kaur CHOUHAN

RAL, Didcot – U.K.

I am developing a trading system that provides a portal for end users to avail and utilize the computing power of Grid resources across Grid platforms, including the gLite Grid middleware and the XtreemOS Linux-based Grid OS. The availability of these resources to the users will depend on elasticity criteria of economic versus performance parameters. The objective of my work is to present a system that facilitates the commercialization of Grid resources through a Virtual Marketplace of computational resources, where a seller is capable of listing the Grid resources, and buyer can request/bid dynamically for required computing resources for their applications. Trading is performed by means of an auction mechanism. The bid queue is sorted in decreasing order of price, and the ask queue is sorted in increasing order of price. A bid/ask remains in the queue until it is allocated, removed due to its expiration time or removed by the submitted user. This model exploits the benefits of Grid computing, especially the inter-operability and scalability of Grid platforms. Interoperability is achieved by using the OGF SAGA standard on XtreemOS and gLite. OS: Windows and Linux PL: Java, C++, C
