PROFILE

Ben Jargowsky

Over three months, Ben Jargowsky enhanced the MaCh3, MaCh3_DUNE, and MaCh3Tutorial repositories by developing configurable data analysis features and improving build stability. He implemented automation-driven atmospheric binning, expanded multi-dimensional data support, and introduced YAML-based configuration for likelihood scans and MCMC burn-in, enabling reproducible and precise scientific workflows. His C++ and scripting expertise enabled robust handling of 1D/2D data, safe default parameterization, and compatibility with evolving ROOT frameworks. By focusing on configuration-driven design and cross-repository consistency, Ben delivered maintainable solutions that improved data quality, analysis flexibility, and reliability for physics simulation and statistical analysis tasks.

Mar 1, 2025

March 2025 monthly performance summary for the MaCh3 family. Delivered significant configurability, stability, and workflow improvements across MaCh3, MaCh3_DUNE, and MaCh3Tutorial. Highlights include enabling MO switching by default, configurable MCMC burn-in with YAML-driven defaults and cross-component stabilization, and user-configurable 2D likelihood scan parameters. Fixed critical boundary handling in CircularPrior and hardened defaults for OscFixParams and XsecFixParams to safe empty vectors. Also advanced parallel experimentation with concurrent 1D/2D likelihood scans and laid groundwork for future 2D scanning in the tutorial.

February 2025 (2025-02) performance summary for DUNE/MaCh3_DUNE: Delivered two key features that enhance precision and reliability of atmospheric analyses and likelihood scans. (1) Atmospheric binning granularity upgrade: increased RecoCosineZ bin count from 5 to 10 for AtmSample_nueselec.yaml and AtmSample_numuselec.yaml to improve precision of atmospheric event reconstruction and simulation. (2) Likelihood scan configurability and initialization: added a configuration-driven toggle to enable/disable the 2D likelihood scan and initialized oscillation parameters from the config before running the scan to ensure starting points near the Asimov-like point for improved accuracy. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: higher accuracy in atmospheric analyses, more reliable and faster-converging likelihood scans, enabling more precise fits and reproducible results. Technologies/skills demonstrated: binning strategy optimization, configuration-driven design, YAML/config handling, initialization heuristics, and strong commit traceability.

January 2025 performance summary for MaCh3 work across DUNE/MaCh3_DUNE and mach3-software/MaCh3. Delivered automation-driven atmospheric binning enhancements, expanded multi-dimensional data support in C++ data processing, and stabilized ROOT-based builds for broader compatibility. These outcomes improve data quality and processing efficiency, reduce manual tuning, and enhance future scalability. Key outcomes include automated binning selection, 1D/2D data support, and a build compatibility fix that prevents ROOT-related failures. Demonstrates strong C++ proficiency, scripting, data handling, and cross-repo collaboration.
