Eva Martin Cuevas expanded the data ingestion capabilities of the AFM-SPM/TopoStats repository by implementing support for loading STP and TOP image formats, introducing new methods within the LoadScans module and updating validation logic to recognize additional file extensions. She also addressed a critical issue in the AFMReader component, refining the HDF5 serialization process to correctly handle nested grain crop data and preserve data integrity for downstream analysis. Her work demonstrated a solid grasp of Python, data serialization, and file I/O, delivering targeted improvements that enhanced both the flexibility and reliability of the software within a focused development period.
