PROFILE
Dylan Brennan
During July 2025, Brennan enhanced the DCON module in the OpenFUSIONToolkit/JPEC repository by implementing the Newcomb criterion calculation to improve stability reporting for plasma simulations. He established a workflow in Julia that outputs simulation steps, evaluates plasma response matrices, and monitors critical data points using LAPACK-based linear algebra and eigenvalue analysis. His work refined the module’s stability messaging, providing clearer signals for free boundary modes and more actionable insights into boundary behavior. Brennan’s contributions included a first draft of ode_output.jl, laying the groundwork for automated validation and future development, and demonstrated depth in scientific computing and numerical analysis.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Delivered a focused enhancement to the DCON module in OpenFUSIONToolkit/JPEC to enable calculation of the Newcomb criterion and improve stability reporting. The work established a robust workflow for outputting simulation steps, evaluating plasma response matrices, and monitoring critical data points using LAPACK-based matrix operations and eigenvalue calculations. Stability messaging was refined with clearer signals for when free boundary modes are present, providing more actionable output on boundary behavior. A first draft of the Julia-based ode_output.jl implementing the Newcomb criterion was introduced, setting the foundation for automated validation and future iteration.
