Worked on the IAS-Astrophysics/athenak repository, delivering features and fixes that improved simulation flexibility, accuracy, and robustness. Developed support for turb_driving input blocks, enabling more configurable turbulence-driven simulations and reducing setup complexity for researchers. Addressed a critical bug in sound speed initialization, ensuring iso_sound_speed values are sourced correctly to maintain simulation fidelity. Enhanced simulation output by increasing time header precision and implemented zero-net-flux magnetic field initialization for forced MHD turbulence, updating initial conditions and adding robust error handling. Leveraged C++, Python, and numerical methods throughout, focusing on scientific computing, simulation programming, and code maintainability to support reliable astrophysics research.
