Worked on the pyro-kinetics/pyrokinetics repository, delivering features and fixes that improved geometry processing, simulation reliability, and code quality. Enhanced gyrokinetic code interoperability by standardizing local geometry attributes, such as Fpsi and FF_prime, across multiple simulation modules, using Python and scientific computing techniques. Addressed floating-point precision issues in rendering validation with numpy, ensuring robust aspect ratio comparisons. Developed high-resolution upscaling for RZ contours in the equilibrium model, refining derivative calculations and expanding test coverage. Improved maintainability by enforcing Flake8 compliance and removing unused imports, streamlining code reviews and reducing technical debt while supporting future development and onboarding.

January 2026 performance summary for pyro-kinetics/pyrokinetics. Delivered high-resolution upscaling of RZ contours in the equilibrium model to improve derivative calculations. Implemented upscaled coordinate grids, spline evaluation, and data-structure updates to reflect refined spatial resolution. While no production-critical bugs were reported, the new upscale workflow was validated via expanded test coverage. The changes increase model accuracy and reliability for downstream analyses and design decisions.

Month: 2025-10. Focused on strengthening GK-code geometry integration and robustness in the neoclassical module. Delivered standardized local geometry attributes (Fpsi, Fprime/FF_prime) across GK implementations, enabling more consistent and accurate CGYRO, GENE, GKW, GS2, GX, STELLA, and TGLF simulations. Improved diagnostics and maintainability through PyroContextError support in dimensionality checks, reducing ambiguous errors when unit contexts are missing or misdefined. These changes improve cross-code interoperability, reduce debugging time, and provide a clearer foundation for upcoming extensions.
