I am currently a student at the department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. During my
university studies I gained a wide spectrum of knowledge which varies
from electrical circuits and mathematics to computer programming and
electronics. As a perfect complement to my studies, I am currently doing
a one year internship at CERN IT Department which gives me valuable
working experience of the best quality, on the subject that I am most
interested in. Finally CSC is ideal place to meet people of same
interests, improve my technical skills and enjoy a beautiful island. |

I am doing my second year of Ph.D. at Lund University, within ATLAS. My
thesis will focus on beyond Standard Model physics searches with jets.
This requires thorough knowledge of the jet reconstruction. I have
evaluated an event-by-event correction of jets for pile-up (detector
signals originating from additional proton collisions in the same and
adjacent bunch crossings, overlaid with signal from the triggering
collision). My work resulted in a new standard ATLAS jet pile-up
correction. To further deepen my understanding of our jet measurements I
am also involved in detector operation within the Liquid Argon
calorimeter team. |

I am a French computer scientist currently working at CERN. I have a PhD
in computer science, obtained in 2011 from Paris 6 University, France.
The main focus of my thesis was on multi-objective combinatorial
optimization. I work for the ALICE data acquisition team, where I am
developing a simulation of the data flow for the upgrade of the
experiment that will be implemented in LS2 (2018). I am currently doing
an overview of simulation tools that will be used by a working group to
create the simulation by the end of the year. I am familiar with Linux
and Windows environments and comfortable using C/C++, Java, Python, and
other programming languages. |

I am a German Physicist and PhD student working for the NA62 Experiment
at CERN and as Linux administrator at Mainz, Germany. During my diploma
thesis I have developed the PC-Farm and software framework for the
online trigger of NA62. Through this work I have become an expert in
network and parallel programming and my thesis has been honored with an
award. Within my current work I am analyzing the feasibility of using
commodity processors within low-level triggers at high-energy physics
experiments like NA62, LHCb and ATLAS. Using processors enables it to
use general-purpose programming languages like C++ for low-level trigger
algorithms instead of hardware description languages like VHDL. This
would facilitate the handling of low-level triggers and potentially
reduce acquisition costs. Privately I have developed the social network
www.metalcon.de which has become the biggest German database concerning
heavy metal music. |

I finished my master's degree analysing test beam from a prototype time
projection chamber (TPC) constructed by the LCTPC collaboration for R&D
towards a detector for the ILC. I have since started a PhD in the Alice
collaboration and am currently involved in studies for an upgrade of the
Alice TPC, where I am analysing test beam data from a prototype
(GEM-based) readout system. I am also working on simulations of the
upgraded TPC. Here I use mainly ROOT and possibly Geant in the near
future. Another part of my Phd-work is the analysis of anisotropic flow
of protons, pions and kaons in Pb-Pb collisions using data from the
Alice-experiment. Here I use mainly ROOT (and AliROOT). Other than C++,
I am somewhat familiar with Fortran and Matlab. In operating systems, I
am familiar with Linux and Windows. |

I am a software engineer with 6 years of work experience, most of it
acquired at CERN. My current work activities are focused around EDMS
(Engineering & Equipment Data Management Service), which stores the
technical documentation of CERN and the LHC. I do programming mostly in
Java and PL/SQL, I also design features for EDMS and supporting software
(external APIs, batch data imports). I supervise a small team developing
a new web interface for EDMS. I have MSc in Computer Science obtained
from Warsaw University of Technology. |
