Scientific Software Development

Transforming Research into
Production-Ready Software

We partner with national laboratories to turn complex scientific models and research code into accessible, reliable applications that practitioners can actually use.

Our Approach

Scientists and researchers create groundbreaking models and algorithms, but research code isn't production software. It's often written to prove a concept, not to be deployed at scale or used by non-experts.

We bridge that gap. We take validated scientific models and build them into proper applications with robust architecture, intuitive user interfaces, comprehensive testing, and reliable deployment infrastructure.

The result: tools that engineers, analysts, and decision-makers can actually use in their daily work.

Case Studies

Sandia National Laboratories

HyRAM+ (Hydrogen Plus Other Alternative Fuels Risk Assessment Models)

Domain

Fuel safety and quantitative risk assessment

Challenge

Complex hydrogen safety calculations—including failure probabilities, consequence models, and risk quantification—needed to be accessible to facility planners, code officials, and safety engineers who aren't software developers.

Solution

Cross-platform application integrating experimentally validated models for hydrogen release behavior, flame physics, and probabilistic risk assessment. Users can conduct comprehensive safety analyses without needing to understand the underlying computational complexity.

Impact

Enables quantitative risk assessment for hydrogen infrastructure worldwide, supporting the safe development of hydrogen energy systems.

FFIAM (Full-Field Irradiance Analysis Model)

Domain

Concentrated solar power (CSP) safety and environmental analysis

Challenge

CSP heliostat fields can create dangerous flux levels when in standby mode, posing risks to aircraft and avian wildlife. Assessing these hazards requires analyzing millions of volumetric data points across the entire airspace above the field.

Solution

High-performance C++ analysis library with real-time 3D visualization built in Unreal Engine. FFIAM evaluates irradiance across 300 million voxels in under a second, identifying hotspots and generating flux heatmaps. Path analysis functionality assesses radiant exposure along prescribed flight trajectories.

Impact

Enables CSP facility planners to evaluate standby aim strategies, assess avian hazards, and support environmental permitting for solar thermal power plants.

HELPR (Hydrogen Extremely Low Probability of Rupture)

Domain

Pipeline structural integrity for hydrogen transport

Challenge

Probabilistic fracture mechanics analysis is essential for assessing whether existing natural gas pipelines can safely transport hydrogen blends, but the calculations are complex and require specialized expertise.

Solution

Modular platform with fatigue and fracture engineering models enabling parallel probabilistic computations. Users can explore the impact of different hydrogen volume fractions and identify which operational parameters most affect structural integrity.

Impact

Supports safe hydrogen transportation infrastructure development by enabling pipeline operators to make informed decisions about hydrogen blending.
