For a detailed description of my previous experience with ebuilds and Gentoo I refer to the emails I forwarded below (the short summary is that I maintain spyder (The Scientific PYthon Development EnviRonment) and some dependencies in ::gentoo, and that I'm a Trusted Contributor to the GURU project.). I'll also add some more information on what I do scientifically in this email.

The past year I've been busy with an internship at the High Field Magnet Laboratory (Nijmegen, The Netherlands), where I've been working on creating a setup for Oscillating Cantilever Magnetometry, with varying levels of success (the pandemic didn't make things easier). I submitted my Thesis this week, and am currently awaiting a review and a result. After which I'm hoping to start a PhD (if the pandemic allows that).

Hi Andrew,
Sorry for the late reply, but we have only recently
started cleaning up ::science.

We would love to get your help with the physics packages
and any else that you are interested in.

Currently we would love help with updating our old packages in
sci-physics/* and frankly most of sci is currently really old.

If you find any packages that you want to update, please make PR's
and I will be try to be swift with commenting and merging when they are
good.

Thanks a lot,
Aisha
