Anna Nozdrina enhanced the nu-radio/NuRadioMC repository by developing advanced features for spectral and continuous wave noise subtraction in radio data analysis. She refactored the Channel Sinewave Subtraction module in Python, introducing dynamic runtime configurability, standalone execution, and improved amplitude and phase fitting using numerical analysis techniques. In subsequent work, Anna implemented robust convergence checks, baseline RMS recalculation, and an IIR-filter-based Goertzel amplitude estimator to increase the accuracy and reliability of continuous wave noise removal. Her contributions focused on scientific computing and signal processing, resulting in more accurate spectral analysis and streamlined integration for downstream data processing pipelines.

February 2025 — nu-radio/NuRadioMC: Delivered robust continuous wave (CW) noise removal enhancements, significantly improving accuracy and robustness of CW subtraction in radio data. Key changes include convergence checks for the subtraction loop, revised baseline RMS handling, an IIR-filter-based Goertzel amplitude estimator, and phase estimation to improve sine fitting. Added frequency-band RMS calculation for more reliable baseline tracking and stability. These changes reduce noise leakage, increase trust in automated cleaning, and enable more reliable downstream analyses.
