Dear mentors, My name is Adarshdeep Gupta, and I am a third-year Computer Engineering student. I am reaching out to express my interest in contributing to the OpenTRIM project and to ask a few questions related to it. I have a strong background in C++ and have worked extensively with Qt and OpenGL, developing projects that involve graphical visualization and computational simulations. I have learnt Monte Carlo methods and numerical simulations seeing its importance in this project. I have gone through the project documentation and source code to familiarize myself with its structure. I have also reviewed the dependencies, including Eigen, HDF5, and Qt, and successfully set up the environment. While doing so, I had a few questions: 1. *GUI Development:* OpenTRIM includes a Qt-based GUI (opentrim-gui). Are there any specific improvements or new features planned for the GUI, such as enhanced visualization, user interactivity, or data post-processing? 2. *Simulation Scaling:* What are the expected performance bottlenecks when running large-scale simulations? Are there ongoing efforts to optimize the computational efficiency of Monte Carlo simulations in OpenTRIM, such as GPU acceleration or parallelization strategies? 3. *Integration with External Tools:* Are there any plans to improve interoperability with other software (e.g., visualization tools, third-party physics engines, or additional file formats beyond HDF5)? 4. *Code Contribution and Testing:* What would be the best way to contribute to the project? Would you prefer improvements in specific areas such as simulation accuracy, performance optimization, or UI/UX enhancements? Additionally, are there specific test cases or benchmarks you would like to see automated? I am currently working on my proposal and would appreciate any insights that could help me align my contributions with the project's goals. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your guidance. Best regards, Adarshdeep Gupta
