The nptool Board is the driving force behind the project’s vision and roadmap. Composed of top contributors and task leaders, this team oversees the development, tracking, and rollout of new functionalities and plugins. Their mission? To ensure every component of nptool meets the highest standards while providing unwavering support to both users and developers.
Adrien Matta (LPC Caen): Lead developer and Spokesperson
The mind behind the nptool project, which he launched in 2008 during his PhD at IPNOrsay. As lead developer, he has shaped its evolution ever since. Beyond the code and simulations, Adrien captures the world through travel photography and pushes his limits with CrossFit. A blend of innovation, adventure, and relentless energy!
Pierre Morfouace : CEA correspondant
A global explorer and a master of innovation. As our go-to expert for data conversion plugins, he brings unmatched skill to the framework. With a wealth of experience in building and deploying complex detectors, Pierre turns challenges into solutions. When he’s not coding or engineering, you’ll find him across the world, fueled by his love for travel.
Valerian Girard-Alcindor : IJCLab correspondant
The go-to expert for simulation and GUI innovation, but his impact goes beyond the technical. As the team’s Happiness Manager, he ensures the collaboration thrives with energy and good vibes. Outside the lab, he channels his creativity into playing the guitar and capturing the world through photography.
Freddy Flavigny : LPC Caen correspondant
Fueled by specialty coffee, driven by endurance runs, and always up for a gaming challenge. When he’s not crushing miles on a run or dominating in-game battles, he’s diving deep into the science of nuclear reactions and expertly weaving their complexities into simulations. Passionate, precise, and always pushing boundaries!
Charlie Paxman (GANIL): WG1 Reproducible analysis
With a strong interest in open science and data quality, Charlie is in charge of implementing the roadmap for reproducible analysis using the framework. This includes compatibility with tools such as Snakemake and the implementation of data versioning.
Thomas Carreau (LPC Caen): WG2 Machine Intelligence integration
When he’s not pushing the boundaries of machine learning in the lab, you’ll find him strumming a guitar or crafting the perfect cup of coffee, slow-brewing style. With a passion for innovation, he leverages cutting-edge machine learning techniques to integrate novel algorithms into your analysis and simulations seamlessly.
Guillaume Cubero (LPC Caen): WG3 Plugin DB and API
From the stage to the server, this former professional violinist has reinvented himself as a master of web service deployment. As the driving force behind Plugin DB and the web API for the framework, he brings precision, creativity, and a relentless drive to push the envelope.
