This summer, I will be contributing to the Systems Biology Simulation Core Library (SBSCL) under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Andreas Dräger and Matthias König at the National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB). The main goal of my project is to develop a solver-agnostic framework for constraint-based simulation and analysis, significantly enhancing SBSCL's flexibility and compatibility across modern computing architectures. During this initial community bonding period, I have already started familiarizing myself with SBSCL research papers to better u...
