• Support structured review of research summaries, technical explanations, modeling workflows, experimental scenarios, and scientific reports
• Identify missing assumptions, methodological gaps, unclear reasoning, and expected physics review outcomes

Modeling, Data Analysis & Scientific Programming Support

• Review scenarios involving theoretical modeling, computational simulations, experimental data analysis, and quantitative interpretation
• Evaluate technical outputs for accuracy, consistency, clarity, and alignment with physical principles
• Support structured review of equations, calculations, charts, datasets, code-adjacent workflows, and technical documentation
• Prepare clear written explanations for physics conclusions based on source materials and verifiable criteria

Task Development, Evaluation & Structured Feedback

• Create or review tasks and deliverables based on real-world physics and scientific research workflows
• Provide domain-specific feedback on scientific accuracy, reasoning quality, data interpretation, and technical communication
• Support evaluation workflows involving model outputs, physics reasoning, research-style problem solving, and computational analysis
• Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work
