Contributed to the reduction of detection latency for scalable NA quantum computers using an AMD Alveo U55C card. - Trained a CNN and a matched filter for signal detection at a low signal-to-noise ratio --> CNN parameter count reduced by 95% with unchanged accuracy. - Developed the CNN core in VHDL and implemented it on the AMD Alveo U55C with host control via Xilinx Runtime (XRT). - Achieved a latency of 2.15 µs per prediction at 400 MHz, compared with a published 9.85 µs at 500 MHz --> ~4.6× faster.

- Developed Python/Matlab scripts to automate test procedures and measurements using vector network analyzers and other laboratory equipment - Expanded a long-term drift measurement test bench for vector network analyzers - Measured and analyzed settling times of RF components - Implemented a small FPGA-based controller on Xilinx Zynq-7010 for fan-speed synchronization - Designed, routed, assembled, and tested PCB prototypes - Created interactive Jupyter notebook reports to support technical decision-making
