University
Master-Thesis
My Master-Thesis is about pile-up correction in ultra high count rate applications using a Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr) scintillation detector.

Bachelor-Thesis
In my Bachelor-Thesis I focused on Photon/Neutron Discrimination with applied methods of pattern recognition combined with Digital Data Acquisition and Analysis. I used an algorithm based on the Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm to distinguish between the signal shapes.

Mini Research Project
I've been working on a mini research project, which dealt with slow-control of Photo Multiplier High Voltage at the NEPTUN photon tagger facility. I implemented a client-server based control and monitoring software. The manual for the software can be downloaded here (not that it would make much sense to read it).
