Chi Cheng developed user-facing topology format management and robust coordinate loading features for the ISISNeutronMuon/MDANSE repository, focusing on flexible topology handling and improved data integrity. Using Python and QML, Chi implemented a GUI-backed topology file format selector and integrated MDAnalysis for backend validation, ensuring explicit dependencies between topology and coordinate formats. The work included fixing AUTO format handling to enhance robustness and renaming the configurator to clarify its role. By emphasizing configuration management and scientific computing, Chi’s contributions reduced data loading errors, enabled new topology-driven workflows, and supported scalable data management, reflecting a thoughtful approach to workflow reliability and maintainability.

In November 2024, delivered user-facing topology format management and robust coordinate loading in ISISNeutronMuon/MDANSE, enabling flexible topology handling, stronger data integrity, and smoother workflows. Key work included adding a GUI-backed topology file format selector, fixing AUTO topology format handling, and introducing coordinate file format specification with explicit topology dependency and MDAnalysis integration. These changes improve robustness, interoperability and business value by reducing loading errors, enabling new topology-driven workflows, and supporting scalable data management.
