GSoC 2025: Developing a highly efficient numerical ODE solver in SBSCL

Hello everyone! Last week marked the beginning of my journey as a GSoC 2025 contributor with NRNB, working on the project " Developing a Highly Efficient Numerical ODE Solver in SBSCL ". The community bonding period is an essential phase of Google Summer of Code where contributors interact with their mentors, understand the organization's workflows, and align expectations before the coding period begins.  Here's a summary of my activities and key discussions so far. I had my first online meeting with the mentors on 9th of May 2025 via Zoom. Mentors welcomed me to the project. We got to know each other and discussed backgrounds. We decided to meet at 5:30 PM IST every Thursday for the weekly discussions of the project.  We discussed the timeline of the project provided by me in the proposal.  Based on my mentor's suggestion, I set up my blogpost account and published my first blog.  I joined the official SBSCL slack channel for team communications. I had my second ...

Hi,  I am Ayush Baranwal, a second-year engineering undergrad at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. I am incredibly excited to share that I have been selected for the Google Summer of Code 2025 with the National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB) organization. This summer, I will be working on the project " Developing a highly efficient numerical ODE solver in Systems Biology Simulation Core Library (SBSCL). " I am incredibly thankful to my wonderful mentors, Prof. Dr. Andreas  Dräger , Dr. Akira Funahashi, Taichi Araki and Arthur Neumann, for their constant support and guidance throughout the proposal period. I am truly grateful for the trust they have put in me, and I am fully committed to making this project a success. What This Blog Series is About This blog series will document my journey throughout GSoC. Prof.  Dräger  suggested keeping a public log during our first meeting post-selection—more on that in the next blog! The goal is to keep my work ...
