---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project: A1s Title: Machine Learning for Photon Science Data reduction DESY group: FS-DS (Photon Science Detector Group) Type: Tandem project (On-site part) Duration: 19th july - 10th sep 2021 Description: With the development of our next generation multi-mega pixel detectors for synchrotron and Free-Electron Laser experiments, we will be generating multi terabits/sec of data. This means we cannot use the classical approach of first storing the data, for later offline processing. Therefore, we have started a large project in our detector group, for investigating optimal strategies for online data processing and reduction. A special emphasis is to investigate the usefulness of machine learning techniques in this respect. You will be working in a team of hardware, software and firmware specialists inside the detector development group. Using real data obtained from previous experiments at the European XFEL, and a variety of hardware platforms including: CPU-, GPU-, and FPGA-farms. Special Qualifications expected: Strong programming skills and interest (C++, Python, etc.). First experience with machine learning concepts. Physics, electrical engineering or computing background.
