Marjan Fathian developed and enhanced soil mechanics testing workflows in the KratosMultiphysics/Kratos repository over four months, focusing on both user interface and simulation accuracy. She built graphical tools in Python and Tkinter for triaxial and direct simple shear soil element tests, enabling users to load custom DLLs, edit parameters, and visualize results interactively. Her work included robust error handling, improved onboarding with license flows, and UI enhancements. Marjan also addressed simulation correctness by refining time handling in line load tests and streamlined the codebase through targeted refactoring and removal of legacy test suites, demonstrating depth in software architecture and testing.

Month: 2025-10 — Major bugs fixed: none reported. Focused on cleaning up outdated testing infrastructure in Kratos repository by removing the Legacy ElementTestSuite and related test scripts/assets, reducing maintenance overhead and clarifying the test landscape. Change tracked under commit 54965eb430b675f298078f8ef88c577cc07b7d57 (remove the old ElementTestSuite from Kratos repo, #13896).

August 2025 focused on validating and improving line load test accuracy in Kratos. Feature delivered: corrected line_load_tests time handling to compute total Y using stage-specific times. Bug fixed: fix start_time and end_time for stage2 in line_load_tests (#13763) with commit a4d54ec8c40030244df60992c224d0bb272c92c4. Impact: more accurate, stage-consistent line load simulations; reduced risk of misestimation across stages; improved validation data quality. Technologies: Git-based workflow, C++/Python simulation code, time-logic debugging, test harness.
