Work description

Development of components for high-performance data acquisition systemsTo advance the development in research fields such as high-energy physics and photon sciences,cutting-edge instrumentation, especially for particle detection, is essential to keep up with thehigh demands of these experiments. In our group at KIT, we are focusing on the development ofultra-fast, high resolution detectors systems based on System-on-Chips (SoCs) for variousphysics applications. These systems are designed to handle high data-throughput at high datarates, meeting the demanding requirements of modern experiments.You will have the opportunity to explore various aspects of detector system development,including PCB design (Altium/KiCAD/PADS), FPGA firmware development (Vivado), embeddedsoftware design (embedded Linux), GUI design and system integration and testing in the contextof physics experiments and applications beyond.Depending on your background and interests, your work may contribute to different ongoingprojects, such as: * Integration of multiple ultra-fast detectors, involving the design of interface PCBs, adaptation of FPGA firmware and software, and preparation for integration at experimental facilities. * Development of flexible, high-performance data acquisition (DAQ) systems, intended as a common platform for various physics experiments. This includes custom PCB design, firmware and software implementation for data processing and analysis, and integration into detector readout systems.If other topics spark your interest during your stay, we are happy to adjust your tasks accordingly.Contact:Olena Manzhura, olena.manzhura@kit.eduNour Sharif, nour.sharif@partner.kit.edu
