Current and previous software projects:


1. With students, we developped a software package called ISiTGR (Integrated Software in Testing General Relativity) that is an integrated set of modified modules for the software package CosmoMC for use in testing whether observational data is consistent with general relativity on cosmological scales. Click here for ISiTGR webpage. The most recent version is available on the Github repository: Click here for ISiTGR repository.

" Testing General Relativity at Cosmological Scales: Implementation and Parameter ", Jason Dossett, Mustapha Ishak, Jacob Moldenhauer. Published in Physical Review D 84, 123001 (2011). Paper available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4583.


2. I developed GRDB in 2002 (a modern version-2 is comming in 2023!). This is An Online Interactive Geometric Database that includes Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations. GRDB is designed for researchers (and teachers) in applied mathematics, physics and related fields. The flexible search environment allows the database to be useful over a wide spectrum of interests, for example, from practical considerations of neutron star models in astrophysics to abstract space-time classification schemes.
The corresponding journal Paper was voted by the Editorial Board of Classical and Quantum Gravity Journal as one of the journal's highlights of 2002 and can be found below:

Paper also available at gr-qc/0111008 . GRDB Version 1.0 was released on July 2001, and was available at http://grdb.org (under update).


3. I contributed to the development of the Core Cosmology Library (CCL) of the The Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). I started initially with small contributions and review of the code but then got intensively involved in the development of Modified Gravity model support by CCL. Some of this will be illustrated the second paper of CCL associated with release 3 of CCL. CCL repository can be found here CCL and jupyter notebooks can be found here CCL example notebook.

Danielle Leonard, Philip Bull, Jérémy Neveu, Antonio Villarreal, Sukhdeep Singh, Thomas McClintock, John Ellison, Zilong Du, Joe Zuntz, Alexander Mead, Shahab Joudaki, Christiane S.

Wagoner. Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series 241, 1 (2019) 2-40. arXiv:1812.05995
