PROFILE

Francis Casson

Contributed to the pyro-kinetics/pyrokinetics repository by delivering two feature enhancements focused on improving physics fidelity and cross-tool compatibility. Developed in Python, the work enhanced the ITERDB/KineticsReader to align with the TRANSP reader, introducing RHOTOR-to-psi_n mapping and supporting non-equilibrium RHOTOR usage for more accurate temperature, density, and angular velocity calculations. Additionally, improved TGLF geometry classification to better identify Miller-family geometries, integrated MXH-extended terms, and refreshed geometry flag handling with expanded unit testing. Emphasized robust data parsing, scientific computing, and test coverage to ensure consistency across physics workflows and reduce regression risk in future development.

May 2026 performance summary for pyro-kinetics/pyrokinetics: Delivered two key feature enhancements that improve physics fidelity and cross-tool compatibility. ITERDB/KineticsReader enhancements align ITERDB with TRANSP (time slices, rotation sign), introduce RHOTOR->psi_n mapping, and enable non-equilibrium RHOTOR usage to improve temperature, density, and angular velocity calculations. TGLF geometry classification improvements accurately identify Miller-family geometries, integrate MXH-extended terms, add MXH term checks, and refresh geometry flag handling with tests. These changes enhance cross-workflow consistency, deliver more accurate plasma profiles, and expand test coverage to reduce regression risk across physics workflows.
