Projects & Open-Source

Latin American Alliance for Capacity Building in Advanced Physics

Analysis of Maximum Atmospheric Depth (XMAX) measurements obtained from the fluorescence detectors at the Pierre Auger Observatory.

R&S TS-RSP GPIB Controller
https://github.com/Stressedphysicist/R-S-TS-RSP-GPIB-Controller

Open-source library for the automation and GPIB interfacing of the Rohde & Schwarz TS-RSP RF switch matrix. Developed independently for the Fundación Instituto de Ingeniería.

Base Flux Characterization, Environmental Stability, and Simulation of Cosmic Muon Attenuation
https://gitmilab.redclara.net/embaidg/caracterizador-y-simulador-blindajes-munra

Python-based computational ecosystem designed for offline processing, statistical calibration, and data modeling of the MuNRa modular cosmic muon detector (developed at the School of Physics, Universidad Central de Venezuela).

Open-Source Automated Metrology & Calibration Engine

Design and architectural development of an open-source platform for automating metrology procedures, built as a high-utility alternative to proprietary industry suites (e.g., Fluke MET/CAL). Automates calibration data logging, manages metrological traceability, and interfaces with multi-vendor hardware via industry-standard protocols.
