Daniel Burgess developed an end-to-end equilibrium modeling and stability analysis workflow for the OpenFUSIONToolkit/JPEC repository, focusing on robust data handling and visualization to support plasma physics research. He implemented a Soloviev-analytical equilibrium integration pipeline in Julia, enabling accurate plasma state reconstruction and laying the foundation for EFIT-like data processing. Daniel introduced Mercier stability analysis tooling using spline interpolation and numerical methods to assess MHD stability, and improved calculation accuracy by refactoring constants and integrating spline fitting. He also built visualization and validation tools in Jupyter Notebooks, providing comparative analyses and debugging support. The work demonstrated strong backend and scientific computing depth.
