Report: Abstract (pdf), The Development of a Linus-Compatible Slow Control Interface for the MINERvA Data Acquisition Electronics (pdf)
Research: I created an interface to the front-end electronics for the MINERvA neutrino experiment, which allows users to configure the detector for a run. I also worked on code that facilitates reading information from the front-end boards connected to each photomultiplier tube in the detector.
