Work History

May 2026

2 Commits • 1 Features

May 1, 2026

May 2026 focused on removing the height profile extraction feature from grain statistics processing in TopoStats (AFM-SPM/TopoStats). Completed removal of the feature and related deprecated references, cleaned up configurations and tests, and updated documentation to reflect the change. This reduces maintenance surface and aligns the repository with the current roadmap.

April 2026

5 Commits • 2 Features

Apr 1, 2026

In April 2026, AFM-SPM/TopoStats advanced maintainability, onboarding, and predictability through documentation enhancements and project scaffolding. The work emphasized Python 3.10 compatibility, clearer configuration guidance, and code cleanliness, laying groundwork for faster feature delivery and lower support overhead.

June 2025

3 Commits • 1 Features

Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for AFM-SPM/TopoStats focused on delivering user-facing improvements, loader robustness, and documentation accuracy. The team shipped a new grain image cropping option, hardened backward compatibility with legacy Bruker file extensions, and maintained quality through targeted tests and clear docs. These efforts reduce processing errors, improve workflow control for grain analysis, and strengthen maintainability for upcoming releases.

May 2025

25 Commits • 10 Features

May 1, 2025

May 2025 performance summary for AFM-SPM/TopoStats. Focused on delivering configurable model behavior, strengthening data preprocessing, and expanding test coverage to improve reliability, maintainability, and business value across the pipeline.

April 2025

78 Commits • 14 Features

Apr 1, 2025

April 2025 focused on delivering high-value features, improving configurability, and strengthening code quality for AFM-SPM/TopoStats. Key work included introducing multi_class_thresholding with accompanying tests and config to support multi-class behavior (including class merges and thresholds initialization fixes), expanding threshold configuration (adding whole_grain_size_thresholds and renaming absolute_area_thresholds to area_thresholds) with robust list-based initialization, and extensive code cleanup that re-added the regionprops wrapper. Plotting structure and run_grains logging were revamped for better traceability, while the test suite and fixtures were stabilized (including minicircle fixtures overhaul and removal of deprecated tests), enhancing CI reliability. These changes collectively improve measurement accuracy, configurability, and maintainability, accelerating reliable deployment of advanced grain analysis features across projects.

March 2025

14 Commits • 3 Features

Mar 1, 2025

March 2025: Summary focused on delivering business value through TopoStats improvements in three core areas: U-Net integration, thresholding modernization, and grains processing vetting. Deliverables include clearer TensorFlow model usage/docs and a new remove_disconnected_grains option; a modernized thresholding framework supporting lists, multi-threshold processing, and None bounds with new thresholding tensors; and a grains processing overhaul with enhanced vetting, border handling, and storage organization. These changes enable more robust, scalable segmentation, cleaner data, and more efficient workflows for downstream analytics.

February 2025

Feb 1, 2025

February 2025 focused on strengthening reliability and widening capabilities in AFM-SPM/TopoStats. Delivered a robust GrainCrop validation flow, comprehensive test coverage for grain crops and full mask tensors, and a major GrainCrop refactor to validate on construction with support for non-square images. Cleaned and hardened codebase with linting, test stability fixes, and logical cleanups across processing, grainstats, and tracing modules. Updated topostats to store full mask tensors and enhanced documentation and config options. These actions improved CI reliability, data integrity for tensor-based analyses, and overall business value of the grain statistics pipeline.
