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
- I'm deep in development on NEREIDS, building out features like Timepix1 raw-run GUI support, per-pixel and live fraction calculations, and time-background slope handling.
- I've been reviewing and merging a steady stream of pull requests on NEREIDS, collaborating closely with the team through detailed code reviews.
- I'm also contributing to the Mantid project, keeping up with pushes and issue discussions in this core neutron data analysis framework.
✨ 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.
- NEREIDS – MCP-enabled neutron imaging analysis with new resolution models for AI-assisted workflows.

This README is not edited by hand — it's the output of a small agentic pipeline that lives in this repo:
- A scheduled GitHub Action runs
scripts/update_profile.pyviauv(zero-setup Python with PEP 723 inline dependencies) to pull live stats from the GitHub API and render this page from a template. - On a weekly cadence,
scripts/ai_highlight.pyfeeds 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. - The pipeline itself was built and is maintained with Claude Code — the same agentic tooling I use day-to-day for scientific software development.
