Lucas contributed targeted engineering work to the flexcompute/tidy3d repository, focusing on reliability and accuracy in numerics-critical workflows. He addressed stability in the mode solving pipeline by refining gauge selection logic, handling non-finite input values, and preventing division by zero in weighted coordinate calculations using Python. Lucas also improved test coverage by introducing dedicated regression tests for gauge robustness. In a separate update, he corrected bent source and monitor plot rendering, ensuring that Y-axis arrow curvature and bend radius calculations accurately reflect underlying geometry. His work combined backend development, data visualization, and software testing to enhance the reliability of tidy3d’s core features.

April 2025 monthly summary for flexcompute/tidy3d: Delivered a critical bug fix to bent source/monitor plot rendering, correcting arrow curvature on the Y-axis for non-zero bend radii and aligning bend radius calculations with actual geometry. This update improves visualization accuracy, reduces potential misinterpretation, and enhances user trust in the plotting module. The work is focused, well-documented, and directly supports reliable data analysis workflows.
