Dr. Alexander Burker

Developed embedded and mobile phone applications for IoT devices and touch displays, enabling end-users and third-party developers to control and automate LED drivers and industrial winding machines. Designed and documented APIs, code architecture, and repository structures to improve maintainability and reduce knowledge barriers. Established code review practices, automated builds and testing within a 3-person team to maintain development standards, and streamline team workflows.

Conducted doctoral research in proton computed tomography using silicon strip detectors, including experimental design, measurements with particle beams, Monte Carlo simulations, and statistical analysis of imaging data. Supervised graduate and undergraduate students, providing instruction in measurement and analysis software, research tasks, and mentoring their thesis development. Presented research findings at scientific conferences and contributed to peer-reviewed publications.
