Implementing a time database in the Nuclear Lab
I’m a researcher at the Nuclear Science Laboratory, where we study the nuclear reactions that fuel stars. We have three accelerators on campus that we use daily. I am seeking a Computer Science undergraduate, or someone excited about database, to help us with a project involving time series database.
Your role would involve:
- Setting up a virtual machine and installing InfluxDB
- Demonstrate feasibility of the project by writing Python scripts to populate and manage the database
- Implementing the solution on a new server
- Collaborating with our team to interface the database with LabVIEW
If you're excited about applying your skills in a real-world research setting, I’d love to hear from you.
Looking forward to collaborating,
In the Nuclear Science Laboratory we are relying on student (both grads and undergrads) to do research, implement new equipment, develop software,... We are always excited to collaborate with new people because they not only bring resources, they also bring new ideas and skills.
The proposed project is a little different because it is technical and more behind the scene. We hope to get a more modern data archiving system that we can rely on for the next decade. We have ideas, we have not tried to implement them. This is where you come in. You will play with an idea and push it to its boundaries to decide whether this is a good idea or if we need to look at alternatives.
