Susanna Azzoni contributed to the simonsobs/sotodlib repository by developing and refining core preprocessing and mapmaking features for astronomy data analysis. She implemented a PointingModel to apply precise pointing corrections to Time Ordered Data, standardized API naming for maintainability, and enhanced preprocessing with improved noise handling and signal processing. Susanna also delivered a pointing deflection correction using wobble metadata, integrating it into the mapmaking pipeline to address pointing inaccuracies. Her work included a collaborative bug fix for the scan frequency cut filter, reducing aliasing risks. Throughout, she utilized Python, data processing, and code refactoring to improve reliability and data quality.
January 2026 focused on boosting reliability and stability of the sotodlib preprocessing pipeline. The primary delivery was a bug fix for the scan frequency cut filter, resolving an aliasing risk and hardening startup behavior. Improvements were achieved by enhancing the atomic filterbin mapmaker and ensuring proper handling of the preprocess database, which together reduce data corruption risk and improve downstream processing confidence.
