-    - title: "Using ROOT in the field of genome sequencing"
-      status: Ongoing
-      description: |
-       This project aims to advance genomic data management by implementing ROOT's
-       next-generation RNTuple format for sequence alignment storage. Beginning
-       with validation of previous GeneROOT benchmarks showing 4x performance gains
-       with `TTree`, we will then extend these capabilities with RNTuple technology.
-       Genomic sequencing data volumes are growing exponentially, creating performance
-       bottlenecks in traditional formats.RNTuple's improved memory mapping, type
-       safety through templated interfaces, and parallelization capabilities position
-       it as an ideal solution.
-       We will systematically compare compression algorithms, implement file splitting
-       strategies, and benchmark against established formats.Additionally, I will
-       analyze the latest compression strategies implemented by samtools and incorporate
-       these techniques into the project to ensure comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art
-       genomic data compression approaches.
-       The project will deliver optimized tools for handling rapidly growing genomic datasets,
-       potentially establishing a new standard for high-performance genomic data analysis.

-      status: Ongoing
-      description: |
-        This project aims to extend Clad, a Clang-based automatic differentiation
-        tool for C++, to support OpenMP programs. By enabling Clad to parse and
-        differentiate OpenMP directives such as parallel for, reduction, and atomic,
-        we will allow gradient computation in multi-threaded environments.
-        The implementation will include enhancements to Clad’s AST parsing,
-        variable scope analysis, and differentiation logic for both forward and
-        reverse modes. Deliverables include robust OpenMP AD support, comprehensive
-        tests, and user documentation.

-        This project enhances Clad, a Clang-based automatic differentiation tool,
-        by enabling it to support NVIDIA's Thrust library for GPU-parallel programming.
-        The goal is to implement custom derivative rules for Thrust primitives like

-        high-performance CUDA code automatically. This work bridges the gap between
