Over two months, Vasconcelos contributed to the HarrisonKramer/optiland repository by developing core features for optical phase modeling. He built the HeightProfile class, enabling wavelength-dependent phase calculations from height maps and dispersive materials, which improved simulation accuracy and laid the groundwork for future material modeling. In the following month, he implemented the backend-agnostic GridInterpolator, leveraging PyTorch’s grid_sample and autograd to support efficient 2D grid interpolation and gradient calculations across both NumPy and Torch backends. Throughout, Vasconcelos emphasized code quality with Ruff linting and unit testing, demonstrating depth in Python programming, data interpolation, and backend development.
March 2026 monthly summary for HarrisonKramer/optiland: Implemented backend-agnostic 2D grid interpolation for phase profiles using Torch grid_sample with autograd, introduced GridInterpolator to support height and gradient calculations across NumPy and Torch backends, and reinforced code quality with lint fixes. This work enhances the accuracy and performance of phase-profile interpolation while enabling seamless backend flexibility for future optimizations.
