During April 2025, Ross Tom developed the TagAndProbe Data Analysis Module for the sPHENIX-Collaboration/analysis repository, establishing a complete pipeline for track-based physics studies. He designed and implemented a C++ macro that performs data processing, kinematic selections, and invariant mass fitting, leveraging the ROOT framework for efficient analysis. The module features a modular source and header structure, supporting collaboration and future extension. By enabling end-to-end data analysis, Ross’s work accelerates data-driven decision-making and increases study throughput. His engineering approach emphasized reusable, maintainable code, demonstrating skills in C++ development, data analysis, and physics analysis within a research-driven software environment.
