PROFILE

Mica Yang

Over a two-month period, contributed to the CovertLab/vEcoli repository by developing and enhancing simulation tools for metabolic modeling. Delivered a standalone Flux Balance Analysis notebook for E. coli metabolism, enabling reproducible and efficient FBA studies within Jupyter Notebook. Expanded the modeling framework by normalizing homeostatic targets, parameterizing objective weights, and improving data visualization with matplotlib. Addressed robustness by fixing serialization and configuration issues, updating unit tests, and refining error handling. Leveraged Python and DuckDB to support data analysis, configuration management, and scientific computing, resulting in more reliable simulations, clearer documentation, and a flexible platform for metabolic engineering research workflows.

March 2026: Delivered a standalone Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) notebook for the E. coli metabolism model in CovertLab/vEcoli. This addition enables standalone FBA simulations, improving analysis of metabolic reactions and accelerating exploratory workflows. Integrated Heena's notebook via commit 1767838413adcbf28b8f89a28691bd829b7e7d06, expanding modeling capabilities and reproducibility. No major bugs fixed this month; minor cleanup and documentation updates were completed to support adoption. Overall, the work enhances decision support for metabolic engineering by enabling faster, reproducible FBA studies and broadening the toolkit available to researchers.
