Are you looking for Bachelor/Master project with Software development?

We are looking for physics students with interest in programming, data analysis & visualisation, and software engineering who want to do their Bachelor or Masters project with us (Einarbeitungsprojekt, Vorbereitungsprojekt, Master-Arbeit).

• Task: contribute to data analysis framework for 3d and 4d simulation results

• Expectations:

  • programming skills and interest/desire to improve those

  • Python experience, knowledge of any of the tools listed below is useful

• Likely tools you will be using include:

  • git

  • Python

  • py.test - we like testing our software

  • Jupyter notebooks

  • numpy & xarray - dealing with n-dimensional arrays of data

  • scipy & pandas - scientific computing and data science tools

  • matplotlib & holoviews - 2d plots for parameter space exploration (interactive holoviews example)

  • PyVista - interactive 3d plots in notebooks

• Things you will learn include:

  • the tools listed above

  • modern data analysis for science

  • state of the art research software engineering, including

  • testing, continuous integration, Gitlab/Github

  • …

• More context: The ab-initio simulation package octopus (https://octopus-code.org/) writes a variety of data files to disk. In this project, you will work on “postopus”: a Python package to make data analysis of these files easier (POSTprocessing of OctoPUS data). The software exists already but needs additional fetaures https://gitlab.com/octopus-code/postopus .

• Place of work: Computational Science group at Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter on DESY campus

• Interested?

  Get in touch with Hans Fangohr (hans.fangohr@mpsd.mpg.de) for informal enquiries.

• Not quite the right project?

  Get in touch with Hans Fangohr (hans.fangohr@mpsd.mpg.de). Perhaps we can find a suitable project together
