My research:

I’m currently working on creating firmware using HLS for strip clustering ITk input. This project as well as the rest of the tracking pipeline is to be run on FPGAs, but I am working exclusively on the strip clustering kernel.

My expertise is:

Probably eating or something

A problem I’m grappling with:

Converting the working HLS into a mounted kernel that interacts with others in the tracking pipeline.

I’ve got my eyes on:

Analysis work, particularly Higgs analysis since I spent some time on a simulation analysis for the 2HDM in undergrad.

I want to know more about:

Hardware and circuits
