PROFILE
Frank Verdi
Worked on the pypeit/PypeIt repository to expand spectrograph support and improve data processing pipelines for astronomical instruments. Delivered end-to-end integration for the P200 NGPS spectrograph, including new calibration templates and robust metadata handling, while standardizing data formats and streamlining configuration workflows. Enhanced data parsing and wavelength calibration management for MMIRS, ensuring accurate calibration file selection for diverse observational setups. Focused on code refactoring and defensive programming in Python to reduce runtime errors and simplify maintenance. Addressed bugs in metadata extraction, improved reliability of NGPS reductions, and maintained a strong emphasis on maintainability, configuration management, and scientific software development.
