Software

Cassini

My most ambitious project is Cassini.

This project is designed with research scientists (like myself!) in mind.

It boosts the capabilities of JupyterLab by providing a number of electronic lab-book features, like templates, summaries, metadata, and quick navigation.

Significant Contributions

I have made a number of contributions to the open-source ecosystem.

Hyperspy - plot_span_map

During my PhD I needed to see where in my sample certain luminescence features were originating. At the time Hyperspy did not have this feature.

Now it does!

CPython @ctypes.struct

I appear to have been the straw the broke the Camel’s back on the @ctypes.struct decorator syntax, newly added to Python 3.16.

This feature provides a more natural/ modern way to declare ctype structs in Python.

I prototyped a similar implementation here
