Researcher, PhD Candidate
2010 to 2015
• Main thesis work is on the analysis of data produced by ALICE.
• Analysis is done through the development and use of the C++ software library: AliROOT.
• Large Scale Analysis is done using The WorldWide LHC Computing Grid GRID.
• I serve as an Train Operator for the AliEn Analysis Framework LEGO Train System,
an front end/interface for the use of GRID by the Analysis groups of ALICE.
• I served as PHOS Run Coordinator:
• which required a permanent residence at CERN, Switzerland, June 11’ to Feb. 13’
• coordinated and participated in the Commissioning, Development and Maintenance
of PHOS and its monitoring and control systems;
• as expert on-call for PHOS, as well as Shift-Leader for ALICE, effectively controlling
and monitoring the billion dollar experiment.
• Teaching Assistant, in Thermodynamics.
