PROFILE
David Gathright
Contributed to the IMAP-Science-Operations-Center/imap_processing repository by developing and refining data processing features for scientific datasets. Over three months, implemented spacecraft position and velocity integration into L1C and L2 datasets to improve CG correction accuracy, updating tests and attributes to ensure robust downstream analytics. Addressed critical bugs, such as dimension mismatches and GoodTime filter logic, by revising Python code and enhancing unit tests for reliability. Updated TOF3 conversion coefficients and documentation to improve data accuracy and traceability. Demonstrated expertise in Python, data validation, and scientific computing, consistently validating changes through comprehensive test suites and cross-team collaboration.

May 1, 2026May 2026 monthly summary for IMAP-Science-Operations-Center/imap_processing: Delivered spacecraft position/velocity integration for L1C/L2 datasets to improve CG corrections. Implemented sc_position and sc_velocity in PSETs; updated tests and attributes; refined L1C PSET creation and added unit vector calculation in L2 processing. Fixed datatype issues and attribute ordering; removed direction vectors from the new implementation per tests. Validated by generating PSET CDFs and MATLAB checks; ENA map tests updated. All tests re-run successfully. Business value: improved CG correction accuracy leading to higher data quality for downstream science and mission planning.
