About


SciPy India is a conference providing opportunities to spread the use of the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community in India. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with the "Who's who" of the Python for Scientific Computing fraternity and learn, understand, participate, and contribute to Scientific Computing using Python. One of the goals of the conference is to combine education, engineering, and science with computing through the medium of Python.





Speakers



Speaker

Dr. Ajith Kumar
(RF & Electronics Lab, IUAC)

     

His main area of work is development of instrumentation for particle accelerators and associated experiments, including radio-frequency accelerating structures, control and data acquisition systems, digital and radio frequency electronics modules. He initiated the Phoenix / expEYES project. ExpEYES is currently the cheapest educational system to teach science.


Keynote Speaker

Dr. Nelle Varoquaux
(Dept. of Statistics at UC Berkeley and a BIDS data science fellow)

     

She received a PhD in computational biology from École des Mines de Paris in 2015. Her research interests are in statistical machine learning and scientific computing applied to molecular biology problems, such as inferring the 3D architecture of the genome or data-integration methods to better understand gene regulatory networks. Recently, as part of the interdisciplinary institute BIDS, she also studies open-source communities and contributors in collaboration with social scientists.

She is a core-developer of scikit-learn, MarkUs and Matplotlib, was Program Chair for Scipy in 2015 and 2016.
