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. |
