- Automated RF measurements: antenna characterization (500 MHz - 6 GHz) in anechoic chamber. - IC verification: setup preparation, remote instrument control, maintenance of code, performance verification.

- Data acquisition: development and implementation of an FPGA-based flexible readout chain for self-triggering electronics for physics experiment in harsh radiation environments, readout frequency 160 MHz, online monitoring/real time data analysis. - IC verification: assessment of performance in combination with silicon pixel and strip sensors (with and without ionizing radiation). - Simulation of physics experiment

Hybrid (FPGA and analog components) configurable and remotely controllable light pulse system for the calibration of particle detectors.

Analog circuit implementation: basic analog circuit simulation, basic layouting.
