International conference on Python for education and scientific computing
SciPy India is the annual gathering of Pythonistas providing opportunities to spread the use of the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community in India.
It provides a unique opportunity to discuss about the latest trends on Scientific Computing in the industry. You can present your ideas, research work done in this area during the conference. One of the goals of the conference is to combine education, engineering, and science with computing through the medium of Python.
Software Consultant & Trainer
Anand Chitipothu is a passionate programmer with more than 20 years of experience. He has co-authored web.py, a micro web framework in Python, built Open Library at the Internet Archive, created a machine learning platform at Rorodata, trained hundreds of engineers through his deep-dive courses at Pipal Academy. He is an elected fellow of Python Software Foundation and an active member of the Indian Python community.
He currently works at FOSS United, focussing his efforts on building Mon School, a community-driven online platform to learn programming.
Praveen, a Google Summer of Code alumnus (GSoC 2014, 2015 and 2016) is also a mentor for Google Code-In and a proud Fedora volunteer. He is actively involved in the ExpEYES project (http://expeyes.in) and develops e-content for National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER). He is also experimenting and exploring the use of Python to actively engage the students and help them visualize the concepts of science and maths for better understanding.
We invite you to submit proposals for talks or workshops to be presented at SciPy 2021. The time duration for talks is 15 or 30 minutes and for workshops is 2 to 3 hours. There will be two parallel tracks for the workshops this year. One track is meant for beginners and the other is for advanced users.
