PROFILE
Alex Wilkinson
Worked on the DUNE/dunereco repository to enhance PFParticle classification and particle identification reliability in particle physics analyses. Over two months, addressed a misclassification issue by refactoring PFParticleUtils to leverage lar_pandora::LArPandoraHelper, improving track and shower detection accuracy. Further improvements included introducing association checks for PFParticles and renaming APIs for clarity, shifting from IsTrack/IsShower to HasTrack/HasShower. Emphasized code maintainability by adding Doxygen documentation and clarifying helper function roles. Utilized C++ for all development, focusing on code quality, data analysis, and software refactoring to ensure more robust and maintainable PFParticle handling throughout the codebase.

Sep 1, 2025Sep 2025 monthly focus on stabilizing PFParticle classification in DUNE/dunereco. Implemented a bug fix by refactoring PFParticleUtils isTrack/isShower to use lar_pandora::LArPandoraHelper, correcting track/shower detection and improving particle ID accuracy. The change is recorded in commit 5a010acb5f31bb23341f3a75f79708e2cdb0a55a. Results: more reliable PFParticle classifications and improved downstream physics selections. Demonstrated skills: C++ refactoring, integration with LAr Pandora tooling, code quality and regression safety.
