Midterm update for my OSRE'26 project with UC Santa Cruz OSPO: CauST now runs end-to-end on real spatialLIBD DLPFC data, where 25 causally-selected genes beat the HVG baseline — and the full 2,000-gene pool — on a donor the selection never saw.

All our student contributors progress reports are available.

Midterm update for my Google Summer of Code 2026 project with UC OSPO, covering CarbonCast, EnergyAPI, regional forecasting models, and the initial implementation of JobAPI and TemporalAPI.

A mid-term update on StaR — the largest seed-sensitivity study of spatial-domain methods to date (6 methods x 1,000 seeds x 12 tissue sections), and SpaGVAE, the structured-spatial-prior model we built to fix the instability we found.

A mid-term update on building CellQuery-ST — a framework (which we call TileTalk) that answers natural-language, cell-aware questions about H&E histology images using spatial-omics supervision, with an open benchmark and reproducible baselines.

Midterm blog for my GSoC 2026 project with UC OSPO — progress on the NSB user-centric website, from onboarding and setup to a fully deployed site with Home, Get Started, Quickstart, and Docs pages taking shape.

Halfway through GSoC/OSRE 2026: hardening AIDRIN’s HDF5 reader with inventory and dataset picking, plus Parquet and Zarr support, under mentorship from LBNL researchers.

A midterm reflection on building the NRPilot backend: the architecture, progress so far, challenges, and next steps.

A midterm reflection on my GSoC 2026 work on ENTS/DirtViz: sensor catalog discovery, derived equation panels, and moving CSV export into the browser.

Introduction Hey there, I’m Michael. In this report, I’ll be sharing my progress as part of the Reconfigurable and Placement-Aware Replication for Edge Systems project under the mentorship of Fadhil Kurnia.
