dressageanalytics.com is a web application which allows atheletes who participate in the equestrian sport of dressage to track their progress, predict their future performance, get training suggestions, and compare their performance with that of their peers.

The Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT) is a next-generation diamond detector which uses the same complex and highly advanced readout electronics as the Compact Muon Solenoid's (CMS) Pixel Detector System. Operating the control software by hand is difficult for someone who has less than a few years of experience with the detector. Therefore, it was necessary to create a user interface which is easy enough for anyone to use to operate the system, log its state at any given time, and do quality assurance on the data that comes out of the detector. I was commissioned to design and implement this UI using web-based tools.

La Casa del Sol (unfortunately now out of business due to the owner having to leave Barcelona) was a real estate business which helped connect prospective buyers/renters to condos/apartments located in Barcelona, Spain. They relied on a web application which I designed that allowed them to make a searchable list of apartments which they represented.

Diamond is a radiation-hard and heat-tolerant material, which makes it useful as sensor material in harsh environments such as those found in modern particle accelerator interaction regions. I have helped to quantify properties such as spatial resolution, charge collection depth, and the Lorentz Angle in lab-grown diamonds to establish their suitability for different applications.

The Zurich Beam Telescope is a silicon micostrip tracker capable of delivering 1 micrometer resolution for localizing charged particles which pass through it. This high resolution is useful for studing the characteristics of many other particle detectors, which may be inserted inside of the assembly to provide detailed studies of the spatial behavior of the instrument.

The Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT) is a next-generation diamond detector which uses the same complex and highly advanced readout electronics as the Compact Muon Solenoid's (CMS) Pixel Detector System. Calibrating and operating the system is a complex exercise, and I was commissioned to help design the software and firmware to deal with it.

The BRM Data Logging and Analysis Framework takes data from a number of sources--my GUTS framework, a CORBA-based CERN standard protocol called CMW, and another CERN-standard protocol called DIP--and logs the data to files, which are nightly archived to deep storage through CERN's heirarchial storage solution called CASTOR. After the data is archived, it is analyzed using a ROOT-based data analysis package which can extract various instrument performance parameters.

DIP-Cache is a realtime data caching server which accepts data coming from any source that publishes its data through the Data Interchange Protocol (a CERN standard communication protocol). In addition to simply caching data as it comes in, it responds to queries which allow the user to limit the data length, select the most recent time stamp, choose a specific instrument ID, etc.

The Beam and Radition Monitoring (BRM) realtime display framework takes the highly important radiation monitoring data which comes from the BRM subsystems and displays it in such a way that shifters can monitor it 24/7 to make machine-safety decisions based upon the displayed data.

GUTS is a library, used by CERN's Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, which serializes arbitrary java objects and transfers them to a list of connected clients for processing. The primary use of this library is to transfer data between two distinct networks: CERN's Large Hadron Collider Machine Network, and the Compact Muon Solenoid network. This library works only one way--i.e., the protocol accepts no direct feedback from the clients--in order to satisfy the strict security standards required by CERN management for software which bridges the two networks.

I was commissioned to write a laboratory exercise for use in the University of Tennessee Modern Physics Laboratory which could teach students how to use LabVIEW and MATLAB together to interact with and analyze lab instrumentation.
