PROFILE
Brian Naranjo
Brian Naranjo contributed to the EZoni/WarpX repository by developing a rigid free-drift macroparticle advancement feature, enabling more accurate simulation of beam dynamics in strong focusing and ramped plasma profiles. He applied C++ and numerical methods to implement three advancement modes, improving simulation fidelity and restart robustness. Brian also addressed bugs affecting diagnostic accuracy, such as correcting subvolume displacement calculations in moving-window diagnostics and ensuring proper reporting of material permeability in macroscopic media. His work demonstrated a strong grasp of code refactoring, parameterization, and Particle-in-Cell methods, resulting in more reliable diagnostics and maintainable simulation workflows for complex physics scenarios.
