Yunfan Liu contributed to the AliceO2Group/O2Physics repository by developing and refining analysis pipelines for heavy-flavor and particle reconstruction studies. Over four months, Yunfan implemented C++-based features such as D+ meson correlation analysis in femtodream and machine learning-driven selection for OmegacToOmegaPi decays, expanding data structures and integrating robust analytics workflows. He improved Monte Carlo matching, candidate creation logic, and decay-length calculations, directly enhancing reconstruction accuracy and analysis reliability. By addressing configurable type errors and stabilizing selection logic, Yunfan’s work increased maintainability and reproducibility, demonstrating depth in C++ development, data analysis, and high energy physics software engineering.
