PROFILE

Rachel Baust

Worked on the mantidproject/mantid repository to deliver features and fixes supporting neutron scattering workflows, focusing on polarization corrections, instrument data formats, and test reliability. Developed and refactored C++ and Python algorithms to standardize spin-state logging, enhance polarization correction configurability, and improve code maintainability. Added polarizing components to instrument description files for LARMOR and ZOOM, enabling advanced experimental setups. Addressed validation bugs in polarization efficiency calculations and improved error handling for instrument selection in SANS tests. Updated documentation and manual testing instructions to clarify expected behaviors, ensuring reproducible results and robust test automation across data reduction and analysis pipelines.
