PROFILE
Dr Jemma Shipton
Worked on the firedrakeproject/gusto repository, delivering four features and two bug fixes over four months focused on numerical modeling and solver robustness. Developed enhancements to the REXI solver, including support for complex proxies and new coefficient calculations, and refactored coefficient handling to enable flexible, multi-set configurations. Improved the shallow water module by centralizing Coriolis and topography parameters, streamlining configuration and maintainability. Addressed topography integration issues to ensure accurate mountain feature calculations. Leveraged Python and C++ for scientific computing, applying numerical methods and configuration management to improve solver accuracy, test coverage, and ease of adoption for downstream users.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 — Gusto (firedrakeproject/gusto): Delivered a focused architectural refactor in the Shallow Water module by centralizing Coriolis and topography parameters within ShallowWaterParameters. This unifies configuration, improves maintainability, and enables easier experimentation with multiple configurations. No major bugs fixed this month; the emphasis was on code quality and long-term reliability. Key commit: 9a251a88d976d48387a9a813301c055d980dfe7c, message 'Refactor Shallow Water Coriolis and Topography (#654)'.
