Fumihiro Kobayashi developed and enhanced educational content for the bioshape-analysis/blog repository, focusing on trajectory inference in cryo-EM using penalized principal curves. He authored a detailed blog post that introduced the mathematical formulation of principal curves, motivated by a hexagonal billiards example, and contrasted the approach with regression methods. Kobayashi expanded the post with new data visualizations, including Voronoi diagrams and U-bias figures, and improved reproducibility through updated media assets and bibliographic corrections. His work demonstrated depth in technical writing, mathematical modeling, and data visualization, leveraging Python, Julia, and LaTeX to create a reusable knowledge asset for the research community.

December 2024 monthly summary for bioshape-analysis/blog: Implemented major enhancements to the Principal curves blog post, including a Jp computation overview and expanded visuals (Voronoi diagrams, U-bias figures) with updated figures and new media assets. Completed metadata corrections (front matter and date), bibliographic updates, and finalized media (final frame, output movie). These changes improve clarity, reproducibility, and reader engagement for the principal curves content. Delivered through a targeted set of commits that tracked each enhancement and fix.
