D. Tan developed and enhanced ecological modeling features for the open-AIMS/ADRIA.jl repository, focusing on coral reef simulation and decision-support tools. Over six months, Tan implemented growth acceleration dynamics, biogroup-specific scaling, and robust mortality modeling, using Julia and advanced data modeling techniques. The work included refactoring model parameter handling, improving calibration fidelity, and introducing categorical distribution support to strengthen scenario analysis and forecasting. Tan’s approach emphasized code clarity, maintainability, and test coverage, addressing both model stability and extensibility. These contributions improved ADRIA.jl’s reliability for reef management, enabling more accurate, configurable, and production-ready scientific computing workflows.
