Damn, reading more into this and the broad didn't contribute to the algorithm or the imaging. She wrote a subroutine that converted data from one format to another.
She wasn't the lead in any capacity, the leads were Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael (the guy that wrote the bulk of it). Mareki Honma created the algorithm in 2012 and uploaded it to Github. Andrew Chael asked him for permission to use it and Mareki, along with a large team, helped them to adapt it.
There's a lot to go over here. But the bottom line here is that we were lied to about this chick. Her contribution to the overall project was insignificant.
