Scientific software development

I am the main author and maintainer of the following scientific software used by the geophysics community:

  • Spectral orientation fabric model specfab (GitHub)

    Model of microstructure evolution of polycrystalline materials that can determine the induced viscous and elastic anisotropy in, e.g., glacier ice and Earth’s mantle, and efficiently couples with large-scale flow models.

  • Radio-wave transfer matrix model (GitHub)

    Model of radio wave propagation through a multi-layered, anisotropic polycrystalline medium, used for interpreting polarimetric radar measurements over ice sheets.

  • Polarimetric traveltime tomography model (GitHub)

    A polarimetric common midpoint model framework for ice sheets that can invert for the dielectric anisotropy that results from preferred crystal orientations and preferred bubble shapes in firn.

  • Large-area scanning microscope software (GitHub)

    Image analysis software for segmenting and determining geometrical properties of ice grains from ice-core thin-section samples.
