Over four months, Luke Wiggins enhanced the AFM-SPM/TopoStats repository by developing and refining data analysis and visualization workflows for grain and DNA tracing studies. He introduced dynamic Jupyter and Marimo notebook suites for grain statistics, enabling reproducible data loading, visualization, and workflow guidance. Luke improved data integrity by updating grain merge logic to preserve historical records and addressed image processing deprecation issues for continued compatibility. His work emphasized maintainable documentation, expanded test coverage, and improved onboarding through detailed guides and code readability. Using Python, scientific computing, and robust testing practices, he delivered solutions that strengthened research reproducibility and code quality.
September 2025 (AFM-SPM/TopoStats): Delivered major notebook and workflow enhancements across Grainstats, TopoStats, and Tracestats, expanded test coverage, and improved documentation. Key outcomes include: enhanced Grainstats Notebook Suite with dynamic loading, visualization, and workflow guidance via grainstats.py (plus updates and final loading fixes); removal of an erroneous grainstats notebook to reduce confusion; introduction of TopoStats Advanced Analysis Notebook enabling DNA tracing and height profile extraction; Tracestats DNA Tracing Notebook with curvature visualization updates; expanded Test Resources and Test Suite for notebooks; and improved documentation with docstrings to support pre-commit and contributor onboarding. These efforts improve reproducibility, accelerate research workflows, and strengthen code quality and testing.

February 2025 - AFM-SPM/TopoStats: Stability and maintenance focus. No new features released. Fixed Pillow deprecation warning in unet_masking by updating image resizing to Image.Resampling.NEAREST, preserving nearest-neighbor behavior for channel masks and ensuring continued compatibility with Pillow 10+. This targeted change reduces runtime warnings and potential CI issues, and keeps the processing path stable for downstream users.
