Francesca Watson developed robust data access and processing capabilities for the BattMoTeam/BattMo.jl repository, focusing on improving simulation output workflows and spatial data handling. She designed and implemented new APIs in Julia to streamline extraction and reformatting of time series and spatial data, enabling more efficient downstream analytics and visualization. Her work included refactoring core modules for maintainability, introducing unified interfaces for multi-model centroid mapping, and fixing output formatting bugs to ensure data integrity. By enhancing code organization and adding visualization examples, Francesca improved reproducibility and accelerated analysis, demonstrating depth in backend development, scientific computing, and data visualization techniques.

In June 2025, focused on stabilizing spatial data output handling in BattMo.jl and enabling visualization enhancements to improve data interpretation and downstream analysis. The work reduced edge-case errors, improved reproducibility, and provided clearer data insights for stakeholders and downstream pipelines.
