I am participating in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment which will be performed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. During the first year of my PhD., I worked on the development and testing of pedestal monitoring algorithms for the CMS tracker readout. Monitoring of the pedestal is required to ensure that zero suppression is performed correctly in the front end electronics. The aim is to build efficient, robust algorithms so that these calculations can be carried out online using minimal CPU time during standard proton and heavy ion runs. This year, I am taking part in calibration studies for the electromagnetic calorimeter. Using Monte Carlo generated photon and electron data samples in a simulated detector environment, I am examining how the non-uniformity of the calorimeter influences the energy containment of the electromagnetic shower.

For my Ph.D. thesis I am working on LHCb, one of the four detectors that will begin to operate at LHC at CERN in 2007. During the first year of my thesis I worked on electron identification and on J/psi->ee reconstruction. I also worked on the reconstruction of Bd->J/psi Ks reconstruction to study the LHCb sensitivity to sin(2beta). Now I begin to look at tagging with electrons and start the hardware side of my thesis by looking at a card that will be used to test a card of Level 1 trigger.

For my PH.D. thesis I am working on KLOE, the detector operating at DAPHNE phi-factory at LNF. I'm performing analysis on neutral kaons for the measurment of the quantum interference in the decay phi->Kl Ks -> pi+pi- pi+pi-. One goal of this analysis is the measurment of the decoherence parameter beetween Kl and Ks. I'm tuning also the MC response of the KLOE calorimeter with data results in order to study particle identification and to obtain a better pion/muon separation.

I am working with group, which takes part in CMS project at CERN and develops the front-end electronics for ME1/1 cathode strip chambers (CSC) readout. This work takes place in co-operation by NC PHEP (Minsk) and JINR (Dubna). My current task is testing, measuring and certification anode front-end boards (AFEBs). For that measuring system, controlled by PC, was developed. One allows computerized testing of thresholds, noises and power consumption of AFEB. My part of this work was PCB, schematic and FPGA design. I take part in elaboration of testing technology as well. AFEBís production and certification is going on at present time.

For my DPhil I am working on ATLAS, one of the two general purpose detectors placed along the LHC accelerator at CERN. I am involved in the ATLAS Silicon Tracker Macro Assembly at Oxford, in particular I am working on the barrel module testing. At the moment my work mainly consists in developing and testing the DAQ and DCS systems: I write a C++ code for the data archiving within the DAQ software and I test the good functionality of both DAQ and DCS. When the assembly starts, mid-February 2004, I will be in charge of testing the mounted modules.

For my Ph.D. thesis I am working on Planck-HFI, the future satellite mission of ESA for the ultimate Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies measurements in temperature and first significant detection of the polarisation modes. I am also in charge of the data analysis from the balloon Planck-benchtest experiment Archeops that published detection of the first acoustic peak in october 2002. I am also involved in the study of the production of matter during primordial Universe at the end of inflation that is called 'preheating' and its relation to the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis.
