Viljar Femoen developed a modular structure factors pipeline for the cctbx/cctbx_project repository, focusing on maintainability and configurability in scientific computing workflows. He designed a pluggable algorithm framework supporting direct, FFT, and TAAM pathways, with conditional TAAM integration based on dependency checks. Using Python and C++ via bindings, Viljar refactored algorithm selection into a separate module to prevent import loops and introduced flexible configuration entry points, including support for phil parameters. His work included code modernization, parameter renaming, and removal of legacy implementations, resulting in a more reliable, extensible system for accurate structure factor calculations in crystallography applications.

April 2025 monthly focus on delivering a robust, configurable structure factors pipeline with improved maintainability and reliability. Implemented a modular algorithm framework supporting direct/FFT/TAAM pathways, enabled conditional TAAM integration, and introduced flexible configuration entry points to support evolving pydiscamb usage. Refactors and cleanup streamline future enhancements and reduce runtime risks, while preserving business value through more accurate structure factor calculations and easier maintenance.
