PROFILE

Nils

Nils Harmening contributed to the ibs-lab/cedalion repository by developing and refining data processing pipelines for neuroimaging and 3D head-model analysis. He implemented robust MRI segmentation post-processing and enhanced geometry handling, focusing on data integrity and reproducibility. Using Python, NumPy, and SciPy, Nils centralized normalization logic for 3D surface normals, improved TSV-based data ingestion with unit handling, and introduced new data structures for probe geometry. He addressed critical issues such as swapped fiducial landmarks and segmentation robustness, ensuring reliable downstream analyses. His work demonstrated depth in scientific computing, careful data correction, and a strong emphasis on maintainable, testable code.

Work History

May 2025

1 Commits

May 1, 2025

In May 2025, delivered a targeted data integrity fix in ibs-lab/cedalion to correct swapped fiducial landmarks for atlasviewer (RPA/LPA). The fix ensures accurate landmark identification by aligning labels and coordinates in two TSV files, preventing misinterpretation in landmark-based analyses and improving downstream reliability of atlasviewer workflows. This work enhances data quality for clinical and research pipelines relying on fiducial references and supports reproducible results across runs.

Mar 1, 2025

March 2025: Focused on robustness, data infrastructure, and head-model quality for cedalion. Delivered features enhanced data fidelity and usability, fixed critical crash scenarios, and aligned anatomical landmark placement with standardized systems to improve downstream analyses and decision-making. This work underpins reliable processing of UHD data, streamlined data pipelines, and more accurate tissue-property calculations, driving business value through better data-driven insights and reduced pipeline fragility.

January 2025 monthly summary for ibs-lab/cedalion: Focused on improving robustness of 3D geometry processing by implementing robust vertex normal normalization in TrimeshSurface. Normals are now normalized before use and normalization logic is centralized in a dedicated method to improve stability when input vectors are not unit length. This reduces downstream errors in rendering and analysis and improves maintainability. The work is traceable to commit 023b09a2f09a1d8b72ea28f80d8baac30fe94f80 (fix optode_dirs if not perfectly unitary, #71).

December 2024 monthly summary for ibs-lab/cedalion: Implemented MRI Segmentation Post-Processing Enhancement (SPM12) to refine segmentation outputs following Huang2013. Introduced a new post-processing function and removed an unused function to simplify the pipeline and improve data quality. The change enhances downstream neuroimaging analysis readiness and reduces manual cleanup.
