Over a two-month period, contributed to the DUNE/sandreco repository by developing a noise matrix computation tool and enhancing the Kalman filter for improved tracking accuracy in particle physics simulations. Leveraged C++ and the ROOT framework to implement geometry-aware modeling, digitization alignment, and expanded testing and visualization capabilities. Integrated a BVH-based spatial indexing system, enabling efficient geometry mapping and adjacent-cell searches across the SANDGeo/SANDRECO stack. Addressed reliability issues in BVH search and performed a comprehensive refactor of internal ID types for consistency. The work emphasized algorithm optimization, robust software architecture, and maintainable code through careful integration and refactoring practices.
July 2025 performance-focused milestone for DUNE/sandreco: Implemented a BVH-based spatial indexing system with complete build, search, and cross-stack integration. BVH library usage includes tree construction, geometry-to-BVH mapping, and adjacent-cell search enhancements, with BVH now managed under SANDGeoManager for reuse across the SANDGeo/SANDRECO stack. Also fixed BVH search reliability and removed noisy debug prints. In addition, performed an internal ID type consistency refactor from unsigned long to signed long across tracker components to unify representations and better support negative IDs.
