During a three-month period, Hao Liu contributed to the JETSCAPE/JETSCAPE repository by developing and stabilizing core features for high energy physics simulations using C++. Hao reintroduced centrality calculations into the event processing pipeline, updating data structures and file I/O paths to support accurate physics analysis. He addressed critical bugs, such as restoring correct fluid evolution history indexing and fixing z-coordinate retrieval in hydrodynamics modules, ensuring data integrity and reproducibility. Hao also improved repository hygiene by refactoring code and removing unnecessary outputs, which streamlined onboarding and CI/CD processes. His work demonstrated depth in C++ development, code refactoring, and physics simulation.

March 2025: Focused maintenance and targeted bug fix for hydrodynamics data handling in JETSCAPE/JETSCAPE. Implemented a precise fix in IP-GLASMA for z-coordinate calculation when reading hydro information from saved files, ensuring getHydroInfo returns correct fluid cell properties for the boost-invariant scenario. The work improves data integrity, reproducibility of saved-state runs, and reliability of downstream analyses.
