Sheng worked on the cositools/cosipy repository, focusing on enhancing astrophysics simulation workflows and improving code maintainability. Over three months, Sheng refactored the TS Map Fitting process to add debug instrumentation and clarified variable assignments, updated tutorial notebooks for reproducibility, and addressed dependency warnings to support smoother deployment. Sheng overhauled the SourceInjector to enable automatic frame detection and multi-source injection, streamlined data handling in Jupyter Notebooks, and enforced strict data validation in unit tests to reduce runtime errors. Additionally, Sheng resolved a critical bug in parallel computing workflows, ensuring correct CPU core propagation and improving performance optimization using Python and scientific computing.

September 2025 (cositools/cosipy) monthly summary: No new user-facing features were delivered this month. Focus was on reliability and correctness of the parallel fitting workflow, highlighted by a critical bug fix.

March 2025 highlights for cosipy: delivered the SourceInjector overhaul with automatic frame detection and support for both point and extended sources, and removed the legacy GRB injector to streamline usage. Enhanced notebook/tutorial data workflows with scatt_map target_coord and corrected data_dir handling, plus updated DC2 orientation usage for reliable visualizations. Strengthened test reliability by updating sample responses and enforcing strict validation to accept only valid response frames (spacecraftframe or galactic). These changes improve end-user productivity, reduce runtime errors, and enhance data analysis fidelity. Technologies demonstrated include Python, notebook refactors, scatt_map enhancements, target_coord handling, data_dir management, unit testing, and orientation file integration.
