Worked on the SCM-NV/PLAMS repository to improve reliability and correctness in back end workflows using Python and unit testing. Addressed two complex bugs over two months, first by updating unit tests to use the 'is' operator for identity checks, ensuring molecule and atom objects are distinct and aligning with new content-based equality semantics in UCS. Later, enhanced AMSJob input handling by ensuring geometry files are preserved during conversion to Molecule objects, reducing confusion for downstream callers and improving pipeline robustness. The work focused on strengthening test coverage and input processing, contributing to more stable and predictable simulation workflows.
January 2026 (2026-01) — SCM-NV/PLAMS: Robust input handling for AMSJob improved by fixing geometry file processing during conversion of input settings to a Molecule. Previously, System%GeometryFile could be left behind in from_input() -> settings_to_mol(), causing confusion for callers such as AMSWorker. The change ensures the geometry file is included in processed properties, enhancing reliability of AMSJob workflows and downstream simulations.

November 2024 focused on aligning test identity semantics with UCS changes and hardening test coverage for PLAMS. The work ensured retrieved molecule and atom objects are distinct from input, reflecting the new content-based equality operator and preventing false positives in identity checks.
