DECEMBER 10 & 11
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.

Dr. Ajith Kumar | Mr. S. Anand |
|
| Dr. B. P. Ajith Kumar, a scientist working with the 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. | Anand is the Chief Executive Officer at Gramener. He leads a team of data enthusiasts with skills in analysis, design, programming and statistics. He studied at IIT Madras, IIM Bangalore and LBS, and worked at IBM, Infosys, Lehman Brothers and BCG. He and his team explore insights from data and communicate these as visual stories. These visual analyses and dashboards are built on the Gramener Visualisation Server -- Gramener's flagship product. |

We request you to share the event details through this poster with faculty members, students and others who might be interested. You may print the poster (native size - A4) and display on the notice boards.
The FOSSEE project undertaken by IIT Bombay is funded by Ministry of Human Resource Development (Govt. of India) under National Mission on Education through ICT. The essence of Human Resource Development is education, which plays a significant and remedial role in balancing the socio-economic fabric of the Country. Since citizens of India are its most valuable resource, our billion-strong nation needs the nurture and care in the form of basic education to achieve a better quality of life.
The Annual SciPy India conference is organised by the team members of FOSSEE project which is part of the National Mission on Education through ICT with the thrust area being Adaptation and deployment of open source simulation packages equivalent to proprietary software, funded by MHRD, based at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB).
