I work at the intersection of neutron scattering science, AI research, and scientific software engineering — building the software that turns raw neutron events into physics, and exploring how AI can accelerate the way we do science.

• 🧲 Neutron scattering — data reduction and analysis software for neutron imaging and diffraction instruments at ORNL
• 🧠 AI research — applying foundation models and agentic systems to scientific workflows, from data reduction to automated analysis
• 🛠️ Software engineering — production scientific software in Python and C++, from detector event streams to user-facing analysis tools

• Building out NEREIDS, where I'm currently developing new resolution models for neutron imaging analysis.
• Hardening NeuNorm by squashing bugs in transmission uncertainty, energy/wavelength binning, and HDF5 writing while preparing it for archival with Zenodo DOIs and ORCIDs.
• Refining bm3dornl, syncing BM3D denoising defaults across its Python, Rust, GUI, and docs and improving large-volume TIFF stack export.
• Helping improve open scientific software quality by reviewing JOSS onboarding, CI, and reproducibility gaps in molass-library.

_{✨ This section is written by Claude (anthropic/claude-opus-4.8 via OpenRouter), which reviews my recent public GitHub activity on a schedule and summarizes what I've been working on. See how this profile works.}

Neutron scattering

• Mantid – Collaborative neutron and muon scattering analysis suite with global contributors.
• iMars3D – Neutron imaging reconstruction workflow powering instrument operations at ORNL.
• mcpevent2hist – Transforms raw MCP detector events into analysis-ready histograms.
• iBeatles – Utility collection that streamlines neutron imaging beamline experiments.

AI for science

• PLEIADES – LANL/ORNL research on scalable, AI-enhanced experimental workflows.
• DocSage – Lightweight knowledge assistant for technical documentation and lab notebooks.

This README is not edited by hand — it's the output of a small agentic pipeline that lives in this repo:

1. A scheduled GitHub Action runs scripts/update_profile.py via uv (zero-setup Python with PEP 723 inline dependencies) to pull live stats from the GitHub API and render this page from a template.
2. On a weekly cadence, scripts/ai_highlight.py feeds my recent public activity to Claude through OpenRouter (model-agnostic — one env var swaps the LLM) and lets it write the Currently Exploring section above.
3. The pipeline itself was built and is maintained with Claude Code — the same agentic tooling I use day-to-day for scientific software development.
