Paolo Pegolo developed robust scientific computing features across the metatensor and lab-cosmo/pet-mad repositories, focusing on cross-language APIs and computational chemistry workflows. He implemented the mts_labels_difference API in metatensor, building a Rust core for set operations, exposing a C API, and adding Julia bindings to enable efficient label set comparisons and mapping. In lab-cosmo/pet-mad, Paolo refactored the PETMADCalculator’s rotational averaging, introducing batch processing and improved numerical methods in Python to enhance performance and accuracy. He also expanded the test suite with comprehensive unit tests, demonstrating depth in test-driven development and a strong focus on reliability and maintainability.

September 2025 (lab-cosmo/pet-mad) delivered core PETMADCalculator enhancements and expanded testing, focused on improving performance, accuracy, and reliability. Key features delivered: 1) Rotational Averaging Refactor and Performance Improvements, enabling batch processing, improved moment accumulation, enhanced Lebedev grid initialization, and refined rotational standard deviation calculations to boost throughput and accuracy. Commits: d9c928237f06ae9f492c5a8562c5c10f86aa3eca; 51784f64ec13ce10d516d51343a17bdb95499e3b. 2) PETMADCalculator Testing Enhancements, expanding coverage for atomic positions, cell rotation, streaming mean/std for scalar energies, forced equivariance checks under rotation, adaptive batch size handling, and unknown-key rejection during accumulations. Commit: cab6000dbeb5236f932f64e5fe795eb8fe281ef6. 3) No explicit bugs fixed were reported this month; nonetheless, the enhanced test suite mitigates risk and improves reliability. Overall impact: improved numerical accuracy and processing speed, heightened reliability in production, and greater developer productivity through clearer abstractions and robust tests. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python-based numerical optimization, batch processing, Lebedev grid initialization, rotation-invariant computations, and comprehensive test-driven development.
