In preparation for weak lensing analyses to be conducted with the Roman Space Telescope, we have developed a suite of image simulations that provides the foundation for future calibration of shear measurements.

I helped with development and testing of this pipeline, including an early implementation of shape measurement with the metacalibration pipeline.
