PROFILE
Alan Kaptanoglu
Alana Kaptanoglu contributed to the hiddenSymmetries/simsopt repository by developing and refining features for geometric modeling and plasma physics simulation over a three-month period. She enhanced the Curve API, integrated CurvePlanarFourier modules, and improved magnetic field calculation tests, focusing on reliability and maintainability. Using Python, C++, and JAX, Alana refactored core routines, expanded unit test coverage, and clarified documentation to reduce production errors and support future development. Her work included updating numerical methods, improving error handling, and ensuring PEP 8 compliance. These efforts resulted in a more robust codebase, streamlined onboarding, and safer deployments for scientific computing workflows.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for hiddenSymmetries/simsopt: Key feature delivery centered on Curve API and Testing Improvements for Planar Toroidal Curves. Consolidated refactoring of curve and grid setup functions for clarity and correctness (including renaming jax_flag to use_jax_curve) and strengthened the testing suite with clearer error messages and refined jaxplanarcurve_pure function, accompanied by updated docstrings. This work reduces production-time errors, improves developer experience, and strengthens test coverage for planar toroidal curves across the codebase. Commits captured during this period include 870aba883783871454c15af03ed7a2efffee1f5b and dcf805c74418dd272200bda3cdabff993a3c1fd5.
