After a ‘Magister’ of physics at the University of Vienna in 2008, I started
my studies as a PhD student in physics with the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, USA. As my thesis work I have mainly been working on the
extraction of charged hadron multiplicities from datasets collected by the
Belle detector at KEK,
Japan, which gave me
experience in writing analysis modules in C++ on Scientific Linux, in
utilizing batch job/LSF queues and c-shell scripts to harvest the Belle
datasets and in using ROOT to analyze and display the extracted data. Since
September 2010 I have also been involved in the ‘Fast Muon Trigger’ upgrade
project at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC/Brookhaven National Laboratory,
USA. My main tasks consist of hardware installation, operations software
development, detector/trigger commissioning and raw data ‘fast production’,
where I obtained basic experience in Perl, PostgreSQL and PHP. As my future
work, I would like to apply computational methods and technologies to tackle
medium to large scale problems of sustainability, disaster prevention or
communication.
