Computational Science in Support oft Experimental Design and Analysis (3) ▪ Multi-Source Analysis - Diff. Py-CMI enabled the integrated analysis of experimental results from different instrument types and computational simulations to create a full structural analysis of complex, real life materials. ▪ Correlative Device Performance Analysis - Atomistic modeling is used to correlate the materials structure to the in operando behavior of a device, by creating theoretical spectra and comparing them measured spectra.
Computational Science Support for Experimental Design and Analysis (3) ▪ Parallel Python for NSLS II Data Analysis - Algorithm for the study of time autocorrelation of the speckle pattern resulting from coherent x-ray Scattering (CHX). Creating a parallel, streaming code base optimized for state of the art architectures. ▪ Tomo. Toolkit - Portable, Open. Source Tomography Toolkit. Tools includes Tomo. Py, tomo-display etc. Using a docker image that encapsulates all the library dependencies makes it possible to run the same program across different platforms, including cloud computers.
