Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThiago De Paiva is a research and development engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing high-speed, low-latency digital electronics for major High-Energy Physics experiments, including ATLAS at CERN and projects at Fermilab and USP. He combines FPGA and microcontroller firmware expertise with system-level hardware-software co-design, having led trigger processor implementations and derandomization logic for the New Small Wheel and MDT systems. His work spans the full lifecycle from specification and thermal validation to installation and mentoring students, and it earned him the ATLAS Outstanding Achievement Award. Thiago also builds reproducible verification infrastructure—integrating VHDL simulation, Git-driven workflows, HTCondor scheduling and secure services—to streamline remote testing of detector electronics. Based in São Paulo, he champions open-source hardware and software practices to accelerate collaborative research engineering. Practical, detail-oriented and comfortable across both lab benches and CI systems, he bridges experimental physics requirements with production-grade embedded solutions.
