Dominic Brailsford contributed to the DUNE experiment by developing and standardizing simulation and configuration management workflows across multiple repositories, including dunesw, dunesim, duneana, dunereco, and dunecore. He enhanced event generation accuracy in C++ and FCL by updating Genie flux window sourcing and stabilizing simulation drift paths. Dominic led geometry configuration normalization, reducing configuration drift and improving reproducibility by adopting base geometry references throughout the software stack. He also expanded simulation control by introducing step-size limits and new detector volumes, and enabled robust muon testing through configuration-driven approaches. His work demonstrated depth in configuration management and simulation configuration.

January 2025 monthly summary: Delivered targeted enhancements in DUNE simulation and testing configuration to broaden control, improve step-limit handling, and enable robust muon testing for the 10kt detector. No major bug fixes were reported in this period; primary focus was feature delivery across two repositories with clear, trackable commits and measurable business value.

December 2024 focused on cross-repo geometry configuration standardization across the DUNE software stack to improve consistency, reproducibility, and analysis reliability. By adopting base_geo and base_auxdet_geo as the standard geometry references, configuration drift was reduced and auxiliary detector references were corrected across duneana, dunereco, and dunecore.
