Mingze Li contributed to the AliceO2Group/O2Physics repository by developing and refining data analysis workflows for heavy-ion collision studies, focusing on spin and polarisation analyses in high energy physics. Using C++ and scientific computing techniques, Mingze enhanced event-plane calculations, improved data normalization for polarization studies, and fixed issues in histogram configuration and mass assignment. Their work included refactoring code for maintainability, implementing robust centrality filtering, and extending Monte Carlo data handling. These targeted changes improved data quality, analysis reliability, and reproducibility, demonstrating a strong grasp of C++ programming, data processing, and the specific requirements of physics simulation and analysis pipelines.
March 2026 - AliceO2Group/O2Physics: Key feature delivered was Charm Polarization Data Normalization, ensuring rapidity values are stored as absolute values to improve data consistency and downstream analysis accuracy.

Performance review for 2025-08: Delivered a robustness fix for centrality filtering in O2Physics, significantly improving stability and data quality in centrality-based selections. Addressed a loop-control bug in taskCharmPolarisation.cxx by replacing an erroneous 'return' with 'continue', ensuring collisions outside the centrality range are skipped rather than exiting the function prematurely. The change is tracked in commit 5589eaba8c3a813861cb5f02541b128850d2dcb2 and PR #12743. This fix reduces edge-case failures, enhances analytics reliability, and shortens debugging cycles. Skills demonstrated include C++ debugging, rigorous code review, and regression-friendly changes with clear traceability to a single repository.
