Michael Lupberger

Dr. Michael Lupberger is an early career researcher affiliated with the University of Bonn's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, specifically the Physikalisches Institut. He is a member of the TRA Matter Steering Committee, focusing on gaseous detectors, fast timing systems, and data acquisition technologies for particle and nuclear physics. His work co-leads projects in neutron detector development and collaborates with Prof. Desch and Prof. Ketzer on experiments like COMPASS and AMBER. Lupberger also extends the Scalable Readout System (SRS) to future facilities like the European Spallation Source and MAGIX. His research emphasizes high-performance data acquisition, machine learning on FPGA, and precision timing in detector systems.

Research Interests: Lupberger's expertise lies in advanced detector technologies, including Micromegas and GEM-based systems. He develops robust timing detectors with sub-25 picosecond precision and integrates cutting-edge electronics like the VMM ASIC into SRS. His work bridges particle physics instrumentation with neutron science, emphasizing scalability and radiation resilience. Recent efforts include optimizing photocathode materials and exploring FPGA-driven machine learning for real-time data processing.

Key Contributions: Lupberger co-authored papers on PICOSEC Micromegas detectors, scalable readout systems, and neutron detector applications. He actively contributes to international collaborations (RD51, LCTPC) and leads projects advancing detector R&D for future colliders and spallation sources. His innovations aim to enhance precision, reliability, and computational efficiency in experimental physics.
