PROFILE

Yoann Kermaidic

Ykermaid developed and enhanced simulation, reconstruction, and data processing pipelines for the DUNE experiment, focusing on ProtoDUNE-HD and ProtoDUNE-VD detectors across the dunesw, dunesim, dunecore, dunereco, and duneprototypes repositories. Leveraging C++, CMake, and GDML, Ykermaid introduced new radiological background models, expanded material databases, and refactored detector geometries to improve simulation fidelity and maintainability. Their work included configuring end-to-end data reconstruction chains, integrating HDF5-based trigger processing, and implementing targeted bug fixes for mapping and calibration. These contributions addressed cross-repository consistency, increased analysis reliability, and enabled more accurate physics studies through robust configuration management and detector modeling.

Feb 1, 2025

February 2025 monthly summary for DUNE/dunecore. Two focused contributions delivered: geometry refactor for ProtoDUNE-HD with a new GDML version and detector simulation config update, and expansion of the material database with Titanium (Ti), Bismuth (Bi), and the TITANIUM_Ti material. These updates improve geometry fidelity, material representation, and simulation accuracy, enabling more reliable detector modeling and physics studies. The work enhances predictive power for simulations, reduces configuration risks, and strengthens traceability via commits.
