On Thursday, October 2, 2025, undergraduate student Andrés Iglesias attended APANAC 2025 , the National Congress dedicated to Science and Technology held in Panama. Andrés participated in the poster session with “PLEDGE: Accelerating Data Intensive Scientific Applications with Consistency Contracts.”

Andrés joined the Cooperative Computing Lab (CCL) at the University of Notre Dame as a summer research student through the iSURE program, spending three months on campus . During his time at Notre Dame, he contributed to the initial implementation of the PLEDGE Tracer , based on Colin’s previous work, which observes a scientific application and generates a consistency contract. He also worked on the PLEDGE Enforcer , which ensures the scientific application respects the consistency contract at runtime.

We are proud of Andrés’s contributions and delighted to see his work showcased at a prestigious national conference!
