During three months on the STOmics/cellbin2 repository, Zhonghan Deng developed and enhanced core features for bioinformatics data processing pipelines. He implemented chipset compatibility detection, improved tissue segmentation with size-aware processing, and integrated StereoMap to support transcriptomics outputs. Using Python and YAML, he refactored image processing and data handling modules, introduced robust CLI parsing with argparse, and standardized logging for better reproducibility. Deng also strengthened CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, automated test reporting, and streamlined configuration management. His work enabled faster, more reliable deployments and improved onboarding, demonstrating depth in backend development, workflow automation, and cross-functional pipeline engineering.

February 2025 highlights for STOmics/cellbin2: Key accomplishments: - StereoMap integration and transcriptomics support with a dedicated research_mode: integrated StereoMap into the CellBin pipeline, refactored image processing and data handling, and added the ability to generate stereo files for transcriptomics data. Commits involved: 5d1c75e49fe20ba77930cee4773e5f98010161c4 and a1c6512625116446999be37c0bc3dc14c8f67f5c. - CLI and logging enhancements for cellbin2 and rpi.py with updated docs: improved CLI usability, standardized input flags, enhanced metadata logging, added argparse for rpi.py to read input JSON and write outputs, and updated README/docs to reflect new CLI arguments and file paths.
