PROFILE
Colin J Cotter
Developed a 1D Vlasov-Poisson demonstration for the firedrakeproject/firedrake repository, implementing a discontinuous Galerkin formulation for the Vlasov equation and a standard Galerkin solver for the Poisson equation, both integrated with SSPRK3 time stepping. The work included creating Python tooling, comprehensive documentation using reStructuredText, and a suite of test cases to support validation and reproducibility. By focusing on scientific computing and numerical simulation within plasma physics, this contribution enhanced the project’s demonstrability and streamlined onboarding for new users. The feature improved the validation workflow, making it easier for users to understand, test, and extend the firedrake platform.
