Description

  • Calorimeter data at current LHC experiments (e.g. ATLAS) require real-time energy reconstruction
  • Signal pile-up (in-time and out-of-time) is a challenge
  • ML approaches, like artificial neural networks (ANN), look promising
  • ANN training/application needs to be resource efficient for FPGA implementation
  • ANN training/application needs to be aware of bit precision for FPGA implementation
  • VHDL, HLS and general tools shall be used/further developed to achieve the goal

My current most burning research question, I like to find partners for, is:

ANN implementation for real-time processing of data sequences with FPGAs (INTEL) using VHDL / HLS and ML tools for FGPAs

What is your expertise in computing and / or software development?

Simulation of real-time data streams for ML training

In ErUM-Data, what kind of data are you dealing with?

Data streams from particle detector with high channel count and large data volume (250 Tb/s)

Please describe your expertise/areas in which you would like to contribute / advise.

ANN training and VHDL implementation for FPGAs

Please describe areas in which you can contribute to “data handling” teaching.

Real-time processing, ANN developments

Please describe areas in which you would like to improve your knowledge / skills.
