As part of the department for measurement development I impove the analysis software (C#) for a special performance measurement of our objectives. This broadband UV optics are used in the quality assurance of semiconductor industry and have to guarantee therefore high performance. Besides this software part I lead the setting up of a new flexible test facility for measurements of our prototypes. The setup is now ready to use and performes its first measurments with great success.

Contributions to the international Dark Matter search project CRESST in the italian Gran Sasso labor. An additional detector system was tested and built up under my direction. It identifies the influence of the particles of cosmic showers to the Experiment and helps this way to increase the sensitivity of the whole setup. After installation the data quality monitoring and data analysis became the main part of my work. Many trips to Italy were done to run the experiment.
