Alejandro ALVAREZ AYLLON

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

 

The first time I arrived to CERN was as an Openlab Summer Student, in 2008. The next year I came back as a Technical Student, working for the former Grid Deployment group. I started doing testing of work elements at first, and storage later. After some time, I developed a framework to enable nightly builds and tests through ETICS, framework that is still at use and was presented at the 1st EMI Technical Conference in Vilnius.  Finally, in November of 2010 I got the fellow position in the same group (now named Grid Technology), and started moving from testing to more development duties, although I am still maintaining the testing framework.

Simone AMOROSO

Physikalisches Institut, Universität Freiburg - Germany

 

After working in the CDF experiment during my master thesis I have started this year a PhD in Freiburg, working in the ATLAS SUSY group. I am currently involved in developing a general search strategy for new physics, looking at deviations from SM predictions in all possible event topologies, to minimize the chance of missing new phenomena. I am also taking part in an upgrade of the muon DCS. My preferred OS is a Debian Linux, but if obliged I not disdain working on Windows. I have extensive experience with C/C++ and the ROOT framework, and some knowledge of python, LabView and VHDL.

 

Darren DEMICOLI

University of Malta, Msida  - Malta

 

Last year I finished my BSc in Computer Science and AI at the University of Malta. My main research area was reliable programming of decentralized distributed systems. Currently I work as a Linux/Unix system administrator and database administrator. My main responsibilities include deployment, configuration and management of servers (mainly RHEL4-6), as well as IBM Informix database administration which includes performing schema changes, configuration tuning, database backups/restores, replication and database storage maintenance. I also get a reasonable firsthand experience with server virtualization and various storage technologies including storage libraries and SAN’s. My future plans include furthering my studies in computational science and performing research in a scientific computing domain.

 

Andrea MATTERA

Uppsala University - Sweden

 

Last year (10/2010) I took my MSc in Physics at the University of Insubria (Italy), with a specialization in Medical Physics and a thesis dealing with Boron Neutron Capture Therapy applications.  I am now pursuing a PhD in Applied Nuclear Physics at Uppsala University (Sweden). I will work in the measurement of neutron-induced fission yields of several actinides and at different neutron energies, to provide information to be used in future Gen-IV power plants or for the handling of Spent Nuclear Fuel.  I am currently developing an analysis tool to perform the analysis of the data that will soon be collected at the IGISOL-JYFLTRAP facility in Jyväskylä (Finland).

 

Pablo PERA MIRA

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

 

I am a software engineer working for the controls group at CERN. We develop the software that the operators in the Control Center use to operate the accelerator complex. Before coming to CERN, I spent some time doing research multi-espectral image analysis in the Technical University of Valencia, Spain, and also worked for Google, in Zurich, in the Google Base team. I happened to be there when they launched Android, and I've been developing (and launching) Android applications since then. I had already explored a bit the mobile development world via Java ME on MIDP while I was studying in the KTH, Stockholm, where I stayed for a year. I am originally from Spain, and looking forward to make the best out of CSC.

David MARTIN CLAVO

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

 

I am a software / web engineer currently working in the CERN Service Management Team as a Fellow in GS-SMS. My work consists mostly in technical aspects related to the Service-Now system at CERN. I am the main developer of the CERN Service Portal ( http://cern.ch/service-portal ). I am also involved in the Drupal "movement" at CERN (ENTICE), having developed http://services.web.cern.ch . Previously, I worked two years in the Indico team, where I integrated Indico with several collaboration tools (EVO, Vidyo...).  Before that, I worked one year in NTT Data (Japan), contributing to the ActiveMQ Apache project.  Given all of the above, my technical knowledge covers: HTML/CSS/Javascript, Python, Java, PHP, relational and object databases. My current interests are website design / usability, search engines, application performance, and security. I hope to learn more about some of these topics in the CSC.

 

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.
