PROFILE
Peter Jacobs
Peter Johnson developed and maintained advanced simulation and data analysis tooling for the gdtk-uq/gdtk repository, focusing on computational fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, and scientific computing. He implemented scalable parallel processing for L1D simulations, enhanced post-processing with Python and Pandas, and expanded cross-language validation using Rust and Crystal. His work included robust boundary condition workflows, improved build system compatibility, and comprehensive visualization pipelines. By refactoring core modules and introducing metadata support, Peter ensured reproducible, maintainable, and high-performance workflows. The depth of his engineering is evident in the breadth of features delivered, rigorous testing, and seamless integration across scripting and compiled languages.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 focused on strengthening benchmarking tooling and cross-language validation for Runge-Kutta methods. Delivered a comprehensive overhaul of the Runge-Kutta Benchmark Suite, relocating legacy benchmarks into a dedicated directory with updated build configuration, and added multi-language benchmarks (Crystal, Python, Rust) implementing a Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg ODE stepper with analytic comparison. These changes improve tooling, reproducibility, and onboarding, and establish a foundation for broader numerical-method validation across languages.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (2025-08) built two high-impact capabilities in gdtk-uq/gdtk that advance end-to-end simulation workflows and data processing: - Fixed-Pressure Reactor example in the Kinetics module: end-to-end workflow with Python scripts, Lua-based chemical models, and prep/plotting shell scripts; complements the existing fixed-volume nitrogen reactor example to broaden process-simulation coverage. - LMR loads data handling improvements: refactored the loads pipeline to read into a Pandas DataFrame via a new read_loads function, enabling aggregation across multiple load files and selective loading by block/face (bf_list); added a demonstration script plot_surface_conditions_2.py to illustrate selective loading. No critical bugs reported this period. Impact: stronger end-to-end simulation capabilities, more efficient and flexible data processing, and improved reproducibility for analysis and decision making. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python (Pandas), Lua-based modeling, script-driven workflows, and data visualization.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 performance summary for gdtk-uq/gdtk: Implemented a new Hypervelocity Expansion Tube (HET) simulation framework with 2D axisymmetric configurations, updated gas models (including Helium), and 1T CO2 chemistry, delivering higher resolution and incorporating viscous effects. Built out visualization, plotting, and analysis tooling for shocks and HET results (xt-diagrams, enhanced plotting scripts, and end-to-end workflows). Expanded Ruby wrapper for libgas with a ReactionMechanism class and utilities to compute diffusion coefficients and species concentration dictionaries. Introduced a reduced neutral-chemistry model for the Martian atmosphere to enable faster, targeted simulations. Also improved scripting and build processes to support new 1T rate files and maintainable xt-diagram code.
