Over six months, contributed to the gem/oq-engine repository by developing and refining backend features for seismic hazard and landslide risk modeling. Work included integrating the Abrahamson & Bhasin 2020 GMPE, enhancing multi-IMT ground motion parameter computation, and improving landslide model input handling. Applied Python and XML configuration to implement robust data validation, numerical modeling, and scientific computing workflows. Addressed stability in liquefaction and hazard probability calculations by validating input ranges and clarifying threshold logic. Emphasized maintainability through comprehensive testing, documentation improvements, and clear changelog entries, resulting in more reliable risk assessment tools and streamlined user-facing documentation for technical stakeholders.
March 2026 monthly summary for gem/oq-engine: Delivered stability improvements to liquefaction and hazard probability calculations by validating input ranges and clarifying threshold logic. Clipping input pga/pgv to valid ranges reduces runtime warnings and ensures consistent numerical behavior; hazard thresholding refactored to use a defined minimum hazard constant for clarity and alignment across calculations. These changes enhance reliability of hazard estimates used in downstream risk analytics, improving confidence for stakeholders and reducing noise in logs.

November 2025 development cycle focused on expanding ground motion parameter computation across multiple IMTs, with isolated statistics for non-PGV and non-Arias IMTs, and expanding test coverage to Scenario 36. Implemented consolidation of IMT handling, introduced separate mean and standard deviation calculations, and updated test data and cases. Addressed stability issues such as zero-sigma errors and improved compatibility with existing models (Macedo2019). Added tests to validate the new behavior, increasing test coverage and reliability. The changes enhance risk assessment accuracy for multi-IMT scenarios and improve maintainability of the oq-engine module.
