Worked on the beast-mcmc repository to deliver advanced modeling features for evolutionary analysis, focusing on flexible rate variation and spline-based methods. Developed and iterated on parameterization strategies for the GMRF propriety parameter, balancing model stability and reproducibility. Enhanced the framework with log-linear branch rate models and introduced B-spline and non-parametric spline-based branch rate models, supporting both gradient calculations and integration. Implemented an exponential transformation layer to broaden data distribution handling and performed targeted code refactoring to maintain a clean codebase. The work demonstrated expertise in Java, Python, algorithm design, and mathematical modeling, emphasizing maintainability and extensibility throughout.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025 performance summary for beast-dev/beast-mcmc: Delivered Spline-based Branch Rate Model Enhancements, introducing a non-parametric branch rate model using quadratic splines for gradient calculations and cubic splines for integration, with a unified integrated spline logic to improve consistency and maintainability. Added an exponential transformation capability via a new TransformedSplines class to enable broader data distributions handling. Performed targeted code cleanup by removing an unused import (IntegratedSquaredCubicSplines), reducing dead code and potential build warnings. Overall impact: expanded modeling flexibility for time-varying rates, improved numerical robustness, and a cleaner codebase that supports future extensions. Technologies/skills demonstrated: non-parametric modeling with spline-based methods; gradient calculation and numerical integration; software refactoring and clean-up; design of transformation layers.
