1.1 Purpose:

1. Create computer application to facilitate and optimize the testing of ultra-fast silicon detectors used at CERN laboratory.

2. Allow for setting and documenting testing parameters via computer application.

1.2 My Core Responsibilities:

1. Programming: Created a MATLAB application to monitor and control several laboratory instruments using COM interface.

2. Integrating Instruments: Initializing and optimizing automated control of oscilloscope, X & Y-axis linear stages (linear actuators), and stage power supplies.

3. Analyzing Measurements: Created a surface plot (3D plot with a 2D projection) to map the X & Y position of the detector in relation to the intensity of the signal being detected at each location.
