Afonso Ferreira

Electronics engineer for the new High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) being developed for the ATLAS experiment at CERN. Developed monitoring setup to verify thermal requirements of small-scale prototype of the detector. Procured thermal sensors and pro-grammed readout equipment in LABVIEW. Coordinated electronics infrastructure at CERN for full scale prototype of the timing detector. Identified the various electrical components re-quired for the prototype.

Electronics Engineer trainee of the new timing detector HGTD being developed for ATLAS experiment at CERN as part of the Portuguese Trainee program of FCT of Portugal. Designed Flexible PCB boards in KiCAD for use as interfaces in ther-mal tests. Mounted and calibrated small silicon heaters with this inter-face. Developed DAQ and monitoring setup for test for verifying and quali-fying thermal media for detector prototype. Successfully testes many samples.
