- OPC UA: various projects relating to the middle-ware used in the DCS
- FwElmb: leading a software framework that provides common support for the ELMB
- lots of things regarding software and hardware expertise for a group of about 100 members
- In the Beams Controls Frontend
- OASIS project: extending the system with new families of digitizers
- FESA project: software development and validation
- various things related to analogue and digital signal processing and C++ real-time software development
- In the TOTEM DCS
- a subsystem guaranteeing coherency of system structure
- formal language extension for the DCS
- some hardware work in the LHC tunnel (man, that was fun!)
