    1) Developing microwave detection systems.2) Developing optical detection systems.3) Developing high-voltage measurement systems.4) Designing of switch mode power supplies (low-tension and high-voltage).5) Electromagnetic calculations and simulations.6) Designing arc detection systems for klystron.7) Designing fiber-optic communication modules.8) Tracing PCBs.I designed and implemented a custom interlock system which was successfully used to prevent klystron damage in case of arcing. The interlock was successfully installed on the magnetic kicker system at the European XFEL. I designed multiple components of particle accelerators such as high-voltage power supply, remote control and measurement modules.
