Contribution

Compressed one-year end-to-end particle/detector-physics delivery of a 1 m, 12-layer PCB Link Data Aggregator (LDA): full design, population, external manufacture, FPGA firmware, first beamtime, and data analysis—built on Delphi electronics/PCB/programming foundations and university minors in electronics, computer science, nuclear chemistry and mathematics. This work provided the foundation for the subsequent direct transition into nuclear-physics doctoral research.
