During their work on the DUNE/sandreco repository, Lupi developed a noise matrix computation tool and enhanced the Kalman filter to improve tracking accuracy in particle physics simulations. They introduced geometry-aware modeling and digitization alignment, expanding the testing and visualization framework to validate these improvements. Lupi also integrated a BVH-based spatial indexing system, enabling efficient geometry mapping and adjacent-cell searches across the SANDGeo/SANDRECO stack. Their contributions included a refactor for internal ID type consistency and the resolution of merge conflicts, demonstrating depth in C++ development, data structures, and performance optimization while ensuring robust, maintainable code for complex scientific workflows.

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.
