Scientific Activities current and in the past:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATLAS experiment at CERN, 1994 until present
LIP, CERN
Collaboration and development for ATLAS Distributed Computing
Main Tasks:
- responsible for the Portuguese Federated Tier2 and the Portuguese Production and Analysis activites inside the ATLAS collaboration (2005 until present)
- responsible for the Iberian Cloud (Spain/Portugal/Latin America) inside the ATLAS collaboration (2010 until present)
- representative of Portugal in the ATLAS International Computing Board (2011 until present)
- collaboration in the development of the Trigger-DAQ system (1994-2005)
The ATLAS experiment is a fundamental physiscs project involving about 3000 physicists at over 200 institutes all over the world, studying the proton-proton interactions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland.

High Energy Cosmic Rays, since October 2013
LIP, Pierre Auger Observatory
Task: Development of a detector database and slow control database for MARTA - "Muon Auger RPC for the Tank Array" - a project for the installation of RPCs in the Auger surface detector.
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a worldwide collaboration of 17 countries which studies the cosmic rays of extreme energy and seeks to answer some of the most fascinating questions of today's science. The Observatory, the world's largest cosmic ray detector, covering an area of 3000 km2 in Malargue, province of Medonza, Argentina is in operation since 2003.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERA-B experiment, 1997 until 2004:
LIP, DESY Hamburg
Development of the HERA-B experiment database
The HERA-B experiment was a fundamental physiscs project involving about 200 physicists at 34 institutes all over the world, studying CP violation in the B system at the HERA accelerator at the DESY National Laboratory in Hamburg, Germany.
