Current Projects and Collaborations
- Lead coding and simulation efforts of ESS Detector Group.
- Lead developer and coordinator of best-practices in-house framework for collaborative scientific coding, in which a major component is flexible modularised Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulations.
- Ensure the framework facilitates development and design of detectors and shielding, which includes extending Geant4 functionality as needed for neutrons (for instance with the NXSG4 extension, as well as a plethora of other extensions available in-house) as well as providing solutions and tools for advanced data analysis and parameter.
- Provide direct simulation support for specific detector designs and training and documentation for framework users.
- Group liaison to IT, ICS and DMSC.
