Summary
Raul Diaz is an experienced electronic and embedded systems engineer with over two decades designing digital electronics, FPGA firmware, and microcontroller-based instrumentation for nuclear and medical applications. Currently a CERN user and ALICE webmaster, he also leads FPGA upgrades for the HMPID detector and serves as publications liaison for the experiment’s editorial board. Affiliated with CEADEN and JINR, he blends hands-on hardware design (Altium, Xilinx/VHDL) with embedded software, instrument interfaces (RS232/CAN/USB/Ethernet) and LabVIEW applications. Known for automating complex experiments and building diagnostic equipment, he brings rare domain depth at the intersection of nuclear physics and electronics. Based in Cuba, Raul combines long-term practical experience with a continuous drive to learn and apply emerging techniques to societal-facing technologies.
