Hello @labarba, I took a look at the list of potential reviewers and I would recommend FaustinCarter because he is familiar with superconductors and instrumentation for astrophysics.

If he is unavailable, kpeeters, cr458 and ivergara could be other options.

Thank you!

This submission is pretty far outside of my domains of even fuzzy understanding, but I'm going to try some gut-feeling pings to some registered JOSS reviewers. Maybe signal processing? —Could this be something you can review for JOSS, @josephhardinee?

[labarba]

Perhaps a physicist like @FaustinCarter could help out with this review? (Going by "detector physics" on his JOSS reviewer listing.)

[FaustinCarter]

I'm happy to review this. I'm a little back-logged with work this week, so won't be able to start until next week. Is that cool with everyone?

[labarba]

@whedon assign @FaustinCarter as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @FaustinCarter

[labarba]

Just pinged @josephhardinee by email to see if he can be our second reviewer. Stay tuned.

[josephhardinee]

Sure. It is pretty far outside of my area of expertise, but if @FaustinCarter can handle domain specific I can help look at some of the more general portions.

Thanks, @josephhardinee 🙏

[labarba]

👋 @garrettj403 — I'm pretty stretched with this editing assignment, and one of the reviewers volunteered to look at general software checks but also has no expertise in the domain. Would you like to suggest a reviewer knowledgeable of your domain of application?

[garrettj403]

Thank you @josephhardinee and @FaustinCarter for agreeing to review QMix!

@labarba, I've sent a few emails around to try to find a third reviewer. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back.

[garrettj403]

Hi @labarba, I emailed @paulkgrimes and he's able to be a reviewer. He has worked on SIS mixers for +10 years, so he is able to review the components that require in-depth knowledge of SIS mixers.

[labarba]

👋 @PaulKGrimes — We hear you are willing to provide a review for this submission to JOSS? (Please confirm.) We have two other reviewers, but since the subject of the paper is far out of my areas of expertise, I would welcome another pair of eyes on this.

[PaulKGrimes]

Hi Lorena,

Yes, I'm absolutely willing to review this submission. I've been working on SIS mixer simulation on and off in Python and C++ for the past 16 years, so hopefully I can provide useful feedback.
